I forgot the last paragraph
But hey… you got your minimum wage hike. And at least some people will be able to enjoy it. Well done, I suppose.

And what’s to become of all the low value folks who can’t get jobs due to automation and other measures taken to offset the cost of the new minimum wage?

And they call us stupid? It’s all so simple - yet the left can’t see it:
When wages are set by government fiat employers no longer have to worry about employee retention, since there’s greater demand for the jobs due to workers displaced by those same higher wages. And since employers don’t have to worry about employee retention they no longer have to offer non-monetary incentives to keep employees happy (like treating them well...).
Worst of all, min wages put pressure on all wages, thus causing price increases. It’s beyond dumb.

For libtards, raise the minimum wage, then give welfare to the newly unemployed. It can all be paid for with money created out of thin air, more government borrowing, and by raising taxes. Its all good

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."The quote is popularly attributed to Einstein but it shouldn't take an Einstein to figure that out.

I don’t think you have to have graduated from law school to understand the “law of unintended consequences”!

More jobs for young men, cleaning gunked-up fast food automation equipment. There’s no free lunch for those who don’t want to do their work themselves. Personally, I’ve bought restaurant food about twice in the last ten years.

1. Answer the question: why not raise the mandatory minimum wage to $1,000/hour?
2. Extrapolate downward. A similar principle applies.
To: Kaslin
Automation in this industry was coming anyway. All this does is speed up the inevitable.
By the way, how long has fast fast food work been considered a career position for a breadwinner?
