Also for those playing along, this self-hating white JoeB is an anti-Semite who hates wealthy people because he has a severe mental condition called OCD that he won't get help for. He brings up my unfortunate situation every post for about a year and a half now, and thinks he doesn't have a problem. He not only constantly brings it up, but ridicules it as well, which tells you what kind of lowlife of a human being he is. He lies continuously about what he did in his past, and what he does today. So never believe a word he says.
Naw, I ridicule it because you either claim you are successful, which you aren't. You are living on the generosity of others. Which is fine, but don't ridicule others who do. Which you do all the time, Welfare Ray.
No, companies only automate when it becomes financially feasible. These machines cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, some close to a million, and they still need maintenance and periodic repairs. There is a line that's crossed when human labor exceeds the cost of such an investment and that's when they are forced to make that change.
Not really. I've worked in Manufacturing for something like 25 years now, and I can pretty much tell you, companies are always looking to automate processes and for process improvement. I've been involved in lots of Six Sigma Green Belt projects over the year, specifically meant to reduce labor... because the perfect business would be the one that produces products with no employees.
So what you're saying is they've been lying to their constituents these past few years? If the Senate is the problem, how did they make the minimum wage for federal workers $15.00 an hour with this Senate? It only takes a simple majority to pass it which they have.
Ask Manchin... He still thinks you assholes can be trusted.
What you people on the left don't understand about business is when an employer gives an employee a raise, it costs the employer much more than the raise. He has to pay that employee more money when on vacation, on holidays, and sick pay if they have that benefit. They have to pay more for overtime. They have to make larger contributions to the employees SS and Medicare accounts in which they have to match employee contributions, their unemployment insurance increases, and so does their workman's compensation insurance which is a huge cost to businesses.
Boo-fucking-hoo. Frankly, what I've seen is companies that try to go cheap on employees have higher turnover rates, low morale and people don't really give a fuck about their jobs.
Even the commies know the economic devastation that would take place by over doubling the minimum wage, because it would create a massive domino effect causing inflation like nobody alive today has ever seen. We would have this unbelievable movement of yet more companies moving overseas, and of course much more imports as if our trade deficit isn't bad enough as it is.
Blah, blah, blah, you guys make this prediction every time minimum wage goes up, and it never happens.
