• you know what cracks me up about these so-called minimum wage increases in the news lately? they take about 5 years to get to that rate.

  our myriad of much larger-looming insecurities lately are on a much faster track than that. in other words, who knows WTF will be going on by 2020...

• At least I'll be able to have a decent conversation with the machine.

  • They can tailor the machines to have sexy guy voices for females and sexy women voices for males... but then the gay mafia will be mad... :-/

    • LOL, yes, and i was gonna say then that the same-sex robot should take their orders, but that would be too rational, as well. the left aren't doing all this crap so everyone can accommodate them. they're doing it b/c they know damned well it's impossible to accommodate everything they demand and the only way to circumvent that is by being a card-carrying leftard. (in other words, we are wasting our time trying to figure them out... )

      • This is about everyone (except the elites) being equal... Equally miserable...

        • agreed. the tactic tho, is confusion to the Nth power.
          nice avatar.

        • Thanks!

        • You might even be able to push a button to get the machine to act like a retarded punk, just in case you miss the old days.

        • Yep!

• Considering the big picture of what the progressives have tirelessly pursued, the job loss is intentional- and the REAL objective of driving up minimum wage.

  • Getting more people to rely on government?

    • what happens when the government runs out of other people's money?

      • More importantly, who IS John Galt?

        • Will most of the producers have the guts to stop producing?

        • Many have already left California, and many more will.

        • I mean over all.

        • PLUS many if not all union contracts have escalator clauses so their wages move up in concert with the minimum wage.

        • It might be many, but I know it's not all. I did over thirty years in IUOE Local 12, and we never gave a rat's ass what minimum was. Maybe because we were so far above it.

    • Gotta build the Democrat base somehow.

• I can hear the machines now: "All your base are belong to us."

  • Nice. http://tinyurl.com/n5xssl5

• Next the L.A. City Council will raise the minimum wage for robots to $15.00 per hour. And tax them at 90 percent.

• consequences of stupidity. Now what will they come up with for the robot?

  • It gets better, they automate the food prep as well. Roboburger will make it so you need only a few where once, you needed many. The market always wins, & capitalism is boss.

    • And the employees that design, build, install, and maintain the machines make more than fifteen dollars an hour. Problem solved. Everyone that's working at fast food chains now can go home and spend time with the family they shouldn't have created yet, and get unemployment.

  • New taxes - what else?

    • exactly

      • The dreaded robo-tax!
