Republican platform: Keep wages low or else Robots will replace you

[ClosedCaption]

This is their argument made by Health and others. As if Robots and Automation will only be used IF wages go up.

Their stance is literally dont want or request more money because more money will hurt you. Then, like RandallFlagg, they defend Walmart and McD's paying low wages AND oppose welfare. The low wages paid sends people to welfare via their Employee hotline!

But thats ok...They dont support higher wages which will get more people off of welfare but want the right to complain about the results of paying shit wages They want everything and nothing all at once.

People get off of welfare when they make more money BECAUSE the EARN more money.

Minimum wage is based on the skill sets.

Why would any business "hire" an unskilled person who may or may show up for work consistently or on time. Just two of the minimums that any
employer looks for as the Minimum".. because a robot will be on time and every day!

Then you progress up in your skill sets.
See I started out as a hamburger flipper at $2.50 and hour.
Today because of my skill sets the company I started gets in one hour in revenue what took my one year as a hamburger flipper.

So unless you have had the basic job skills i.e. show up consistently and on time when you do you won't be replaced.
Those will be the first employees let go when the robots replace them.

But of course most of you haven't had any "entry level" jobs like I did and what almost all of the less then 1.6 million under 19 years working at
minimum wage are doing.

Get rid of those jobs by raising the hourly rate will be the result.

That isn't the Republican platform, dunce. That's simple economics. Companies will spend the least they can to get the inputs they need. Obviously you never heard of this.

ah the joys of a service economy...

So why not $50.00 per hour. Make everyone rich. It's just that easy, right?

You can't get more obvious than knowing that mechanization replaces lower skilled workers. It's what happened to the car manufacturer industry. Those assembly lines used to have people working on them. All that has to happen is for robots to become cost effective.

Dawn of a robot revolution as army of machines escape the factory - FT.com

Cleaning the Sydney Harbour Bridge used to be a dangerous, dirty and laborious job. As soon as a team of workers, operating a sandblaster, reached one end of the iconic structure they had to start again to keep 485,000 square metres of steel pristine.

Now two robots called Rosie and Sandy, built by SABRE Autonomous Solutions, blast away paint and corrosion all day long without a break. They determine which area needs most attention via a laser scan and move about on rails.


Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for manufacturing, engineering and automation demonstrated a Care-O-Bot that sweeps office floors and empties waste paper bins. Pal Robotics showed Stockbot, which walks the aisles in a shop or warehouse to check inventory at night.

Oppent’s autonomous vehicles ferry laundry or waste around hospitals, Yaskawa Motoman’s dual arm robot prepares laboratory samples and OC Robotics, a Bristol-based company, supplies snake-arm robots to inspect hazardous or confined spaces such as nuclear power plants and inside aircraft wings

Approximately 95,000 new professional service robots, worth some $17.1bn, are set to be installed for professional use between 2013 and 2015, according to the International Federation of Robotics. That excludes an estimated 22m domestic service robots – the autonomous vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers that are already becoming a familiar sight to consumers.

It's not the republican platform. It's just what's actually happening.

Regardless of the current minimum wage, if automation can replace your job....it will

I see the usual leftist fanatics are trying to fool people once again into believing their lies about Republicans.

You people really need some new material. Don't you get tired of reciting the same old tripe without end?

If you owned a business you would prefer to spend more money than you have to in an effort to be "human" and "caring" for others?

Well, if you did, you would likely give in to the competition and lose your business as well as all of those "jobs" you saved.

I see you don't understand basic economics.

Or are you now going to tell us how,after you served in the military, you were hired to be an economics professor?

Not if it doesn't prove to be financially advantageous.

Libs are just simply stupid here. They do not understand business or how things work. Thats why they can sign on to nonsense like government rebate checks and the like to stimulate the economy.

So you want to encourage employers who's ONLY demand for a unskilled human is to be on time and every day to replace humans?
Because see as most minimum wage advocates seem to forget.. the minimum wage is for "minimum skills"!
If the minimum skills are replaced by a robot.. what is the need for a minimum wage person?

Do you understand RAISING the MINIMUM wage to $10.80 (not $10.10 because most people forget employer must pay the SS/Medicare)
makes the annual minimum wage employee cost $21,000 per year. Total dependent on employee showing up for work on time daily.
Because the robot at a cost of $15,000.. ONE TIME NOT every year..

Do you understand then the lines are crossing to replace unskilled entry level workers with robots.

meanwhile President is shutting down coal mining and working on shutting down fracking....jobs that actually pay a

I wouldnt neccesarily call Health a strawman

That tells me that the minimum wage needs to rise.

And that tells me a portion of the above will be fired and replaced by robots or other low skilled processes as the economics of the situation for the majority of small businesses, mom and pop restaurants for example WON"T be able to keep these low skilled workers.

It sure will be nice to cut my labor costs in half. Im not paying them anything either.

The conservacons are always trying to convince that they are the same as the republicans that fought slavery. Yeah right. If that were true, why do they defend wage slavery and jeer at occupied wall streeters.

If a robot can do the job better or cheaper than a human, a business that can afford to switch over would be nuts not to. We live in a capitalist society. The job of a business is to make money, not jobs. True, for most of history, jobs and profit have gone hand-in-hand, but times have changed and technology is revolutionizing all sorts of workplace production at an accelerating pace. This is progress. This is good.

Every big change requires people to adapt to it. The changing job market is no exception. If all we listen to is the voice of the market in search of the highest rate of short-term return, we risk serious damage to our society.

There are ways to adjust our system to the rapidly increasing use of robotics and other productivity technology. We need to look at them carefully. It is not enough to let the market decide what is the best return on investment.

The guideline for this adjustment is clear: [all people are] endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, It is the job of the government to regulate not just the economy but the society in order to ensure our rights. You can't exercise your right to the pursuit of happiness if you have no dough. It is time for the leaders to figure out something that works.
