It can be 'good' in a very perverse sense, i.e. good enough to undermine and destroy other companies that DO choose to pay their employees enough to live.

This is unhelpful, but that's the way things work at the moment, and it's very well understood by aggregate investment capital.

So then you get a second sense: good enough to sustain huge amounts of investment capital from people who correctly perceive that it will destroy other companies that choose to pay their employees enough to live.

Still pretty unhelpful, if you're a human…
