You
realize that anything that can be done by a person on minimum wage is
the first place robotics, mechanization and automation will be placed
in effect. It's cruel to say, but ease of human replacement starts at
the bottom of the pay scale, not at the top. All the argumentation for
minimum wage has as it's natural evolution the elimination of jobs.
Warehouse pickers used to be a real job. It's gone. Cashiers used to be
real jobs.. now gone. Working the counter at McDonalds is almost gone
as a job. Now an Ipad will ask, "Want Fries with that"? Those who
holler about minimum wage are short sighted and those who use is as a
political maneuver are mean spirited.
