By 2030...half of the McDonalds in America will be on this automated system, and tens of thousands of employees will be released to the public sector...unable to find any real employment. Burger King, Pizza Hut, and the rest will follow. I expect 2040 to arrive with massive unemployment throughout the US, and economic experts at a loss to explain how automated system arrived, and their relationship to the minimum wage

There not paying those people enough to even pay for basic things like rent, food, gas, utilities etc...Forget car payments, medical or buying homes etc...

So what's the big deal?

The purpose of a business....less we not forget....is not to be concerned with the needs or desires of their employees. The business survives only if they have a product that consumers want, and they can deliver that product to consumers at the price expected.

If Pabst Blue Ribbon were eight bucks a can...Pabst would dissolve away.

If toilet paper were $6 a roll, we’d all be in the forest collecting leaves and using them for important wipes....dissolving the toilet paper companies.

If a burger meal at BK were $15....we’d skip it and just buy a loaf of bread and some luncheon meat, dissolving BK into nothing

Business operations only function, if consumers rate them as desirable. Whether the employee can afford a car or a three-bedroom apartment.....isn’t part of the end-result.

So what do you think flipping hamburgers is worth!!!
