This minimum wage increase is an example of the 10th Amendment-protected power reserved to the the states, people, not that it is a good idea.

Note that the feds will now get more unconstitutional taxes out of each paycheck for those employees who are not replaced by kiosks. Who knows, maybe the feds will lose paycheck tax revenues?

YT wins all around. White robots, white employees, white renters displacing non-whites with YT, YT consumers eating there again.

GO YT!

I guess the legislators in New York State believes the state has too many jobs and they want to get rid of some.

Why are they targeting only 1 industry...if they really cared about “the people in the shadows”.

Really, it seems like a lawsuit to me. Why is fast food being singled out? Why not give hotel maids 15 an hour? Secretaries? Janitors? Street Sweepers? Elevator operators?

There are many businesses in NYC that start college graduates out at $15 an hour. This will have a cascading effect on all businesses.

"New York state APPROVES $15 minimum wage for fast-food workers...first time ANY state..."

.... Looks like NY State is about to experience a predictable corresponding rise in Unemployment and inflation. If it wasn't so serious this would be laughable. Unfortunately ... Liberals do not have the capacity to understand the concept Cause and Effect and keep making the same mistakes over and over.

.... By the same token .... the GOPe should know better because they do understand these things but go along with it anyway ... then turn around and complain when they are blamed when the predicted outcome does happen.

I'd say they're trying to kill the fast food industry.

Then Michelle will step to the plate with vending machines.

I just went to a movie theater and was surprised they had replaced their ticket booth (and seller) with a touch-screen ticket seller and dispenser. This definitely is the wave of the future because it's with us now.

Cannot believe the Gov. of NY is happy to admit his State is so FUBAR that residents need $15 per hour to survive

Invest in food preparation robots.

But the affirmative action crowd will demand a percentage of the robots be painted black......

Exactly. My post was more rhetorical.

The target, for whatever reason, is McDonalds.

But the joke will be on these leftwing communists. McDonalds has the resources to install kiosks to order & pay...and eventually computerized equipment to cook & assemble the food order.
