Soon they will have no wage because these antics are making companies look towards machines to take over their jobs.

These people demanding higher wages for an unskilled jobs better be careful with what they wish for.

Im all for a fair wage, but quitting your job based on a rumor is foolish.

Of course I am basing this on what’s being reported in this article and lately you can’t trust just one source for an honest answer.

At the local McDonald’s the employees don’t even deserve the standard minimum wage. They literally get my order wrong one out of five times.

In Columbus, Ohio there are 1000’s of entry level job openings. There are many warehouses close to this Sonic, begging for workers.

Love to see how they manage that at a Sonic.

You can only mechanize so much before people start not eating there because eating there ultimately works against their interests.

That’s the thing about automation and labor - There is an ‘automation saturation point’ at which the number of people sidelined by automation reduces the demand for the good you produce.

A Ford Truck costs $55,000 new. That’s a stupid price, and ultimately unsustainable. A new phone can cost as much as $1800. Also stupid. Housing market is starting to feel it now as well.
