To the OP, automation is basically the future. We have to adapt to it any way you slice it. There was a discussion on one of the cable shows the other night about Trump's promise to win trade deals & bring back "those jobs." It was a group of industry people, and they were saying how most of "those jobs" simply don't exist anymore. They've been automated, so there is nothing to bring back to the U.S.

Now, if you big government guys want to mandate that companies shouldn't be allowed to automate, good luck with that. It's probably better to prepare the population for the future economy, though.

I love how leftwads think thier policies have nothing to do with anything bad.

Let me break it down for you economically retarded water heads

Automation has a cost. If te cost of labor is cheaper than labor then the employer will choose labor. If you libtards artificially raise the cost of labor making it more expensive than automation then the employer will choose automation

Got it? I doubt it

It isn't about wages. It is about purchasing power. Again you economic illiterates don't understand. But you feel warm and squishy inside. Almost like it makes you feel thinking about a 6'4" man in a dress standing to piss in woman's bathroom next to a six year old girl. That's your definition of "progress"

$7.25 an hour purchasing power is better than $15.00 an hour purchasing power?

I'll understand if you can't explain.
 
Just think, if wages had been kept lower, buggy whip manufacturers would still be employing thousands of hard-working Americans...right?

But Trump will bring back those jobs.

But they are merely entry level minimum wage jobs...not worthy of an adult out of work and trying to make a living wage.

At least that's how Righties refer to the jobs in question when discussing the minimum wage.
 
In the vast majority of places the minimum wage has been unchanged. Hell, in California, the minimum wage has been unchanged. You really think this project that Wendy's has been working on for years, is a specific response to the 15 an hour campaign of the past few months? That only exists in the imaginations of rightists.

Who says the food will come out of a vending machine? It might just be the cashier's job, where the customer merely orders from a computer screen and then the food is prepared by people.

And suddenly Righties care about those working entry level, minimum wage jobs.

They just don't care enough to pay those workers a decent living wage.
 
Why wasn't everything automated in 1968?

I'm not trying to be a dick by saying this but if you want to make a living wage then work at a job that pays a living wage.

But whitey or the man or evil greedy people are preventing them. Of course all of the liberals on JPP have managed to excel they just "care" about others so they say.

Maybe instead of them caterwauling here they should go out and help these waifs. Write a book or something on how they did it? Or maybe they think they are better than them.

Right...so you feel those who wait on you when you go out don't deserve a decent, living wage.

Waiters get tips and thus make well over minimum wage. Entry level jobs weren't meant to pay a "living wage". The 17 kid scooping ice cream doesn't need a living wage. They need a job to gain experience and spending cash.

I've corrected you on this before Wacko. This is typical GOP "if I say something often enough it becomes true.". What you're saying is untrue and not factually correct.

The basis of the law enacting the minimum wage was to provide a baseline wage that would provide for a persons basic needs, i.e. a living wage.

That may not be what you believe the minimum wage should be about but the fact is that was exactly what the minimum wage was intended to be when it was enacted into law in 1938.

Now you may believe there should be a different standard for the minimum wage for a dependent minor. I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you but don't try to tell me that the minimum wage wasn't intended to provide a living wage cause you are simply and factually wrong.
