If they can program a serverbot to make their chili and add cheese and onions to it,, I want one at home.

(From the article):" Sen. Bernie Sanders favors a $15 minimum wage as a starting point."
I don't think Bernie has ever worked manual labor for a living ?
I recall he got fired from an Israeli Socialist Kibbutz because he wanted to talk politics , rather than work.
But , other than exempt Government , has he ever worked an hourly job ?

Husbands too.

We should have an amendment to the Constitution requiring anyone in public office to have completed economics course.

Anyone holding public office must have held a real job in the private sector.

Wendys President Todd Penegor observed that some locations have already raised their prices to meet increased labor costs. Unless the Law of Supply and Demand gets repealed, this is a lose, lose, lose solution.

Inevitable consequence.
It will still shock Democrats.

"We should have an amendment to the Constitution requiring anyone in public office to have completed economics course " working two years at minimum wage. Better, no?

I got my employment start at a low wage job, and was thankful for it.
But now as an adult, living 2016 America, anything that reduces my personal contact with the gib-me-datters is OK by me.

Who is doing their automation? A quick visit to their career page has no listing for software or hardware engineer.
To: MarvinStinson
Uncle Miltie (Milton Friedman) must somewhere smiling and laughing at Sanders and his clowns. Bernie would probably get his lunch handed to him big time in a head to head debate with Friedman, who, among other things, said that the minimum wage was one of the more racist things the Dumbocrats and their union friends imposed in modern times.

But automation will never catch on unless the machine can let me drive off with half of my order, like the human servers try to do.

There are a number of US and foreign companies who offer burger bots and related services. They’ll outsource it, hopefully to a US firm.

I don't think Bernie has ever worked manual labor for a living ? I think his last job was writing porn. Then he decided to give up honest work and become a politician.
