Only because consumers let them get away with it. It's impossible to serve you a $15 dinner at $15/hr.

Well, not impossible. Remove some of the liability, some of the regulatory BS, rezone so businesses can exist in residential areas, decrease sprawl and increase population density so small businesses can run efficiently. That'll be a start.
