Take a closer look at Obama's relationship to the same including his strong ties to Wall Street.

Yup. And then eventually the concept of a basic guaranteed income will come to the United States, much to the chagrin of the neo-cons.

If they want to make more money, they need to figure out how to become more valuable to the rest of society.

Simply not true, we do it with Congress year after year after year.

You are Ranger fan so should I continue to expect such idiotic posts?

Because acknowledging technology advancements that will eventually replace workers is bad ?

Technology has no party affiliation.
Let me guess....we should not embrace technology because "it's not fair" to the burger flipper.

Well you're getting your wish. Those greedy, wealthy corporations are replacing people with machines.
Now you don't have to work for them anymore.

You bit the hand that fed you without having a fallback plan.
Unless your fallback plan is welfare for the rest of their lives.

Please. Bit the hand? Automation was coming either way. Lets be honest here. minimum wage workers are often unskilled workers, and they're all going to be out of work within a decade due to automation.

As another poster has pointed out, this will cause immense pressure for a basic income. Its inevitable.

I wonder...
Who signs the worker's paychecks?
Who pays the workers insurance premiums, UE insurance, workers comp, etc?
In other words, exactly WHO is the worker employed by, the local franchise owner or McDonalds corporate?
But then, I suppose we should look at who has the deepest pockets, the local owner or McD corporate? that is rather obvious, right?
IMO, the NLRB is wrong on this one!
