Would I be a bad person for starting a privately owned business?
So I was thinking about starting a climbing-gym in my city, since there's really nothing to do in my city aside from going to the mall and eating fastfood and it would be cool to have something new for people to do around here.
Also, I want to make some money, obviously.
But I then remembered that by starting a business I would be inherently exploiting the workers I employ, and the only way to avoid that would be to start a co-op which would probably mean I would be making the same amount of money I am making right now, which is not much.
How morally culpable would I be for extracting wealth from the workers in my employment?
