Why not eliminate the min wage completely? Let supply and demand decide. Oh, no, can’t have that or burger flippers will be making their skill level of $1.15/hr.

Automated machines may be prone to bacteria.
Once it passed, the judges struck it down.
It was probably 15 years ago.
Nowadays, the judges would likely uphold it.
Good luck with the free $hit army, California.
You made your bed long ago.
Now sleep on it.
A couple Darknet friends are telling me that the leftists in the electronics industry are pulling strings with the min-wage-inflation idiots and their assorted puppets to do exactly this, and I can’t at all blame them. A bunch of retarded burger-flippers and hippies take all the bad press while they sit on the sidelines ready to swoop in like Superman to save the day when major companies hit the tipping point. Matter of fact, if I had any money to speak of to invest in what will inevitably replace those workers, I’d very much want in on their little scheme!!!
I was half joking, but I can see it as a very real threat. I've been worried about the approach of "sky net" for almost a decade now. This plays right into more machinery replacing more labor.
This conflict is going to come to a head someday.
Hmm, count me IN !
That's not much more than the price of a 1/2 lb burger at a fast food joint. And I can microwave half of it and save the rest for later.
Why so many voters are drawn to Donald Trump
The way the presidential campaign is shaping up, Ventura musician Jon Gindick may do something he's never done before. "I've never voted for a Republican," the registered Democrat told me. "I like Trump." A waiter told me he thought Trump's trade restrictions would create more jobs at higher wages. A couple wearing matching red, white and blue shirts told me their healthcare costs had tripled under Obamacare -- a program Trump says he'll shred. To Gindick, Trump's remarks about criminals coming across the border were refreshingly honest, and not at all a condemnation of all immigrants or Latinos in general. He thinks Trump's critics misrepresent him, that they're unfair in calling him a racist. "I saw it as a huge lie being repeated by the GOP establishment and Democrats," he said.
