Apart from shameless pandering to the left, Biden's remarks illustrate once more Nathan's maxim:

Failed socialism is invariably replaced with more socialism.

If the minimum wage in California and New York is to be $15 an hour, fast food joints are simply going to substitute robots for youngsters entering the workforce for the first time. By forcing this automation, the left destroys a valuable tool of society, a path for introducing otherwise feckless youth into workplace discipline so necessary for their advancement up the economic ladder.

Expect the next step to be to prohibit that automation.

For every leftist Nostrum there is at least one unanticipated negative consequence -yet another maxim.

NYC bagel workers used to be have their own union, Bagel Bakers Local 338.

Then a Canadian, iirc, invented the bagel making machine in the 1960s, and the bagel union was eventually subsumed into the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
