Company’s aren’t some kind of “world conspiracy”. They don’t work together much besides what they have to to make more money.
Company A doesn’t care whether company B suffers because people don’t have enough money to buy company B’s products because company A doesn’t pay their employees properly.
Company A only thinks for itself, and if paying employees less is saving it money, then that’s what it will do.
Walmarts and such are actually a special case because their employees will typically spend their money back at the very same company. But that’s the exception, not the rule. And also we’re talking about white-collar labor being automated, not so much cashiers and such.
