“Low wages are the same as the pollution coming from the car. The argument isn’t that the laborer is doing something that deserve more, the argument is that if the product or service cannot be produced unless it uses sub-living wages, then as society, we’re better off without it”

Yes we may be better off without it. Except we would eliminate perhaps millions of jobs.

It can be argued that every single morsel of fast food is pollution. So by the logic above, (and I agree) that as a society we are much better off without any fast food. So zap every fast food job in America.
