New York Times: $15 an Hour is Meant to Drive Fast Food Out of Business

[HereWeGoAgain]

You're deluded about the the cost of labor that goes into selling a Big Mack.

OK, smart guy, what's a Big Mac going to cost after these greedy, overpaid, low life workers get their way?

So you admit you just pulled that number out of your ass.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

No, it is just another case of "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

In this case the liberals say they want to help the poor and the natural result will be a disaster for the poor.

No it won't.

Not to worry, soon there will be robots to replace people. I find it hard to believe a robot can be bought and maintained for much less then 15 dollars an hour but because of the liberals good intentions we soon may find out.

How little would a gas station attendant pumping gas have to work for in order to eliminate self service gas pumps?

Pay at the pump, we have them here.

WHOOOSH!!

Right over your head.


Automation in many work places has been a fact of life almost since the time of Henry Ford and it will become more and more common.

Like it or not, that means fewer jobs.

of course yet the lock and stock sheep of the democrats supports Obama and his EO of immigration

Funny, hilarious, mind boggling....

Automation, more labor competition=less jobs

Why do you vote against your best interest?

5 people working at 10 bucks an hour is better than 10 people working at 5 bucks an hour.

Tell that to the people who now have no job.

You tell your version to the people who just saw their wage cut in half.

btw, is 10 people working at a $1 an hour better than 1 working at $10/hr?

again I work as a industrial. maintenance guy in South Carolina

I made $75,000 plus a year

The starting Pay for an operator is now $13 bucks an hour....(I asked a temp a few weeks ago)

South Carolina MW is I think $7.25

Can you figure it out? Minimum wage could be zero and we would still have operators starting out at $13 bucks an hour

So you are admitting Obama's economy sucks? He has been in charge over six years.

Not to worry, soon there will be robots to replace people. I find it hard to believe a robot can be bought and maintained for much less then 15 dollars an hour but because of the liberals good intentions we soon may find out.

A number of McDonald's have already installed Kiosks where customers can submit their orders. That eliminates the need for 3-4 employees at the front counter. The next thing will be machines to make burgers.

Hopefully they find a robot to do your job next, every profession is open to the corporate axe.

I worked in an industry jam packed with every robotic aid they could make.
Believe me. Buy a robot that displaces ten full time employees at a one time cost and it doesn't take much to keep it running.
You need to understand a couple of facts:
Robots are built to last. To produce. To not break down and stop working. Today's robots are designed so a failing part is identified and that part can be changed out while the robot is working. Same with routine maintenance. Once that robot is turned on it will keep working for ******* ever.

Yep, poverty wages. Barely enough to keep you alive, and less than what you get by being unemployed and begging. Great incentive structure isn't it.

Yep. No different than CNC machines replacing manual machines in a machine shop.
The newer ones can be run manually,from a program or you can tell them to learn and they remember how you ran the part manually so no programming is necessary.

Being broke all the time is a great motivator.
