So failed argument unless you are arguing that the minimum wage should be dropped lower.
Some people seem to enjoy paying for food stamps to supplement low wages.

The reality is that low wage jobs have a pay ceiling. When bumped against, automation becomes a viable and preferred alternative for reasons of productivity

A little light reading on the subject of productivity.

And you missed that part. Somebody's gotta fix those machines. Unlike Zero Hedge, my source is one of the least biased out there

Ohh....scary threats from the donor class! Why dont you actually look at the facts instead of threats by vested interests? Wendy's and their lobbyists would rather see an elimination of the minimum wage so lots of $1 an hour jobs can be created and the DC lobbyists can bring in third worlders to fill these jobs. A high minimum wage is good if you dont want America to turn into the third world as you guys claim you dont want to see. As long as you guys push for elimination of worker's rights and minimum wages, you are making America increasingly attractive for immigrants from the third world.

Minimum wage is or was better than that, however ever it is happing all over. Sonic and most chain grocery stores and Home Improvement Centers, have self check out. The end result is people is not needed.


The other point these jobs are suppose to be start jobs not careers. Again the Liberal mindset is focus on the small picture not the big picture. Industry and technical jobs are the key, instead of competing with a Illegal Immigrant or a HS Person.


Liberalism has failed America Again!
