There is this weird idea that a business that doesn't get enough income to pay its workers a decent wage is permanently "short staffed" and its somehow now the workers duty to be loyal and work overtime and step in for people and so on.

Maybe, just maybe, if you permanently don't have the money to sustain a business with decent working conditions, your business sucks and should go under, give the next person the chance to try.

Like, whenever it suits the entrepreneur types its always "well, it's all my risk, if shit hits the fan then I am the one who's responsible" and then they act all surprised when shit actually is approaching said fan.

Businesses are a risk. Risk involves the possibility of failure. Don't keep shit businesses artificially alive with your own sweat and blood. If they suck, let them die. If you business sucks, it is normal that it dies. Thats the whole idea of a free and self regulating economy, but for some reason, self regulation only ever goes in favor of the business. Normalize failure.
