Yeah, reading into it makes it look like he's using minimum wage as a scapegoat for the fact that his business failed. 7.70$ is the same as about 5€, that is ludicrously small. Even at 40 hours a week, that only equates to about 10,000€ per year. That is not enough to pay a mortgage or rent in a city, let alone buy food and pay electric and heating bills.
Either way, if he is not doing good enough business to hire staff, then it is up to him to do the work himself, and to be productive. It sounds like he's one of these guys that wants to make money of the sweat of other people's labour while he sits back and skims the profits. Otherwise, he just has a bad business plan.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
