Remember? We told you minimum wage cost jobs!

[NYcarbineer]

Does this mean the price of their burgers will be going down?

Again... only idiots who have NEVER ever operated a business let alone a fast food as I have would understand the implications.
A) The prices may NOT go down.... depends on the efficiency of the "flipper"!!!
B) Most likely the prices will NOT go up though.

Either way the fast food place that has labor as the #2 cost generator will gain!

So if the robot can work for 50 cents an hour, let's say, then that's what an American worker should be willing to accept if he doesn't want to be replaced by a robot?

What was your pay at the job you held while in HS?

My summer job started at $.85 an hour, my first job was $1.25 (1966)

The work experience paid far more.


Were you worth $15 an hour?

(IMO, you aren't worth $15 an hour now)

Your 1.25 had more buying power then than the current minimum wage has.

We told you minimum wage cost jobs!

What complete nonsense

.... it got the robot a job didn't it?

No, it didn't, because you can't tell us at what wage a human would have to work to keep the job.

At the wage dictated by the free market and not feels.

The so-called free market is an abomination. More humans have been exploited by the free market than any other idea in the history of work.

I AGREE 100% with you! My first payroll check was for $1.00/hour as a store clerk in 1958!
And I AGREE with you the BEST VALUE I got out of these "slave wage" jobs was two points:
A) BE ON THE JOB every day. B) Be on time on the job every day!
These two extremely fundamental responsibilities stand the test of time for ANY future employer looking at a potential employee for future growth!

More Flippy robots will be introduced at CaliBurgers next year, with the aim of installing them in 50 of their restaurants worldwide by the end of 2019.

CaliBurger say the benefits include making “food faster, safer and with fewer errors”.
Burger-flipping robot replaces humans on first day at work

PLUS the savings of:
1) NO wages,
2 NO SS
3) Medicare
4) unemployment
5) workman's comp
6) call in sick
7) works 23 hours 7 days a week
8) robot cost capital depreciation

automation costs jobs. there is zero evidence that paying people more than slave wages does. and if it does, what is your response, nutter butter, pay people ten cents an hour like they do in china?

wingnut

Just curious if you have done any research on your statement "paying people more than slave wages".

A) What is the mean hourly income of people working at "slave wages"?
B) How many people are there that actually work at the Federal Minimum wage?
See most people like you ARE JUST too f...king lazy to do the following RESEARCH available easily and quickly from the internet!

A) The Ten Worst-Paying Jobs in America
10. Mean hourly wage for parking lot attendants: $10.26
9. Mean hourly wage for personal care aides: $10.09
8. Mean hourly wage for lifeguards and other protective service workers: $10.05
7. Mean hourly wage for gaming dealers: $10.04
6. Mean hourly wage for pressers and other workers in the garment industry: $10.03
5. Mean hourly wage for cashiers: $9.82-9.83
4. Mean hourly wage for ticket takers and other amusement park workers: $9.76-10.22
3. Mean hourly wage for agriculture workers: $9.65-10.20
2. Mean hourly wage for shampooers: $9.09
1. Mean hourly wage for the food service industry: $9.07-10.18
So IDIOT... where do you see ANY Federal minimum wage earner making less then $9.00/ hour??? ZERO!
B) Second question I'm answering for you!
Among those paid by the hour,
900,000 earned exactly the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
About 1,700,000 had wages below the federal minimum.
Together, these 2,600,000 workers with wages at or below the federal minimum made up 3.3 percent of all hourly paid workers.

How old are the minimum wage workers?
Of the 2.6 million:
- Ages 16 to 24 (mostly unmarried with no children) made up 1.15 million.
- Ages 25 and older, some of whom MAY have a family...) 1.4 million.
Characteristics of minimum wage workers, 2015 : BLS Reports: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

SO dummy who can't seem to use the internet to find simple answers...SEE ABOVE!

Why is it okay to exploit a high school with the ambition to actually work and go to school?

.... it got the robot a job didn't it?

No, it didn't, because you can't tell us at what wage a human would have to work to keep the job.

Sorry to intrude on your reality distortion field but Just because you're too stupid to figure that out doesn't mean everybody else is, a human keeps the job when his/her total cost of production is lower than that of the automation that is being proposed to replace him/her; once you progressive idiots put a gun to the head of business and force the cost of human labor beyond that point the unfortunate victim of your stupidity gets to enjoy an earned wage of ZERO, way to go.

So what is the cost per hour of the robot in the OP?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Caliburger plans to do this worldwide. Here's where they are worldwide.

What are the minimum wages in these countries?

Yea and
a) I didn't have a cell phone
b) I didn't have a internet access
c) Computer are you kidding????
d) only 3 channels on a black and white TV
e) Polio
f) life span to look forward to at my age at 16...64 years old... today 77!
g) waking up everyday "saying wow what a beautiful sun rise... great day for nuclear bomb!" I know you are laughing but those of us at 16 during the cold war had
that thought everyday! It was called MADD (Mutual Assured Destruction Doctrine)!
h) I worked in my family 4 co-op gardens, mowed lawns, shoveled snow and didn't have time to complain about my "minimum wage"! I was glad I had a job!

Cheaper than the $25/hour paid out to a minimum wage worker. And no calling in sick because his dog needs to go to the vet.

And yes, you include benefits and taxes on employees in the cost.

Stupidly, you declared yourself grossly overpaid in 1966.

Priceless. You never fail to eat that foot.

You haven't told us how much a person would have to work for to compete with the robot.

Why haven't you told us that?

Not much anymore. Automation has been killing jobs for over a century now. And the DC establishment pushes it by making it costly and difficult to have employees.

Lower than the "cost per hour" of a human doing the same thing genius, otherwise the business wouldn't have invested in the robot.

Hopefully the people that you and your progressive pals put out of work through your idiotic policy prescriptions can somehow figure out how to develop the necessary skills to design, engineer, build or sell robots, but given the fact that you've managed to completely fuck up our education system I seriously doubt most of them will.

never talks back

will work 24 hours a day

OK, so how little would a person have to work for to compete with the burger robot?

Stop dodging the question.
