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.
