Either way it’s Labor and the profit should be shared with the person doing the work. Sure it took Capital and risk to set the whole thing up, there’s costs involved with running the warehouse, etc. So I’d course it’s not split. But the dildo at the top shouldn’t be taking the Lion’s share.
There’s no risk to the capital class. They do not risk their livelihoods, they barely risk their next yacht. The only people that share risk are the working class, not the owners.
To the point a small business entrepreneur is risking their life savings, they risk no more than a worker since they can always get a job. The bankruptcy courts will not make them homeless, will not take their last car, and will not starve them. They make it seem like failure is death itself, but no, it’s just back to being a worker.
Everyone forgets the workers are taking a risk too. “Just get a new job” doesn’t fly in a recession. It doesn’t fly when your new boss engages in tax evasion and fucks up your SS/Medicare. Or you just walk into a buzz saw of toxicity and harassment.
We treat a business going under as a tragedy for the owner, but the workers are out of a paycheck too. And hey the owner can always get a job; no matter how far down they are, the bankruptcy courts will let them keep enough for rent/utilities/bills. So they aren’t actually taking anymore risk than their workers.
