Meet Flippi, you new burger flipper and response to high min wage

$3.00 an hour, never calls in sick and is the definition of consistant.
You living wage folks are legislating yourselves into obsolescence.

It's OK, they're hoping for a taxpayer-funded universal basic income that requires no work at all.

TBH, I don't think there should be a minimum wage. But this has nothing to do with the minimum wage. Automation is going to replace millions of people regardless because it's virtually always going to be cheaper.

Sounds like those who get in the ground floor of knowing how to keep them running, would be a good thing to be educated on.

The moment those living wage folks demanded a wage far exceeding the skills required to do their job, they were obsolete.

It will always be more reliable than someone that doesn't want to work and/or has a skill set where the only job they can get is minimum wage.

I wonder if Medicare for all will cover repairs for him.

Sure, but it will also be more reliable and cheaper than people who do want to work and have valuable skills. At some point we're going to have no choice but to have UBI.

It's a burger flipper. By the very job, they have no skills.

Old news.
They've been working on automated burger making robots for a decade.
I was posting articles about them prior to the last election back when the $15 minimum wage proposals first started.
If it happens, it happens.
For the most part it will mainly affect teenagers and a very few retirees.

Kinda like your toilet scrubbing janitor job, eh Cletus?
You'd better be worried about these things....

But it's not just burger flippers. Automation is replacing thousands of manual labor jobs. And with AI, it's only going to be more common.
100% recycled karma
For most of the time robots have been around, the notion of building them to operate in human workplaces was a far-off fantasy. Until recently, most required fully robot-centric environments. Similar to early computer mainframes, which were scheduled for computational activity around the clock, industrial robots have been too expensive to run at anything below maximum capacity for most of their history. Unlike early computers, high-output robots are also too strong and dumb to safely work alongside humans.
But now that costs have come down and both motor and sensor technology has improved, robots are safe and cheap enough to use in occasional spurts in a normal work environment
