Have you heard of the decision by Wendy’s to switch to self-serve kiosks to take orders? If not you might only listen to left-wing media who won’t show this, or spin it in another direction.
They won’t tell you this is what will happen as more places push companies for a $15/hour minimum wage.
Yes, earning more is nice, companies who pay their employees more are great.
However, pushing the minimum wage to almost double what it is, in the current economy, only shows how little the left even understands money.
Its a disaster waiting to happen. Companies will not sit back and absorb such an increase in wages. And it won’t effect just the minimum wage people, but everyone under $15. Imagine you are currently making $15/ hour. Thinking its a nice wage above the minimum. Now suddenly your making minimum wage once more.
This employee has been there for years, working their way up the ladder, now they are equal to that new kid. It won’t settle well for that employee, and the company has disgruntled employees all thanks to liberals.
Simply put, prices will go up. I expect to be able to have a hamburger combo for $10, the regular single hamburger, when 7 years ago I could get it for under $5. That’s the way this increase will work. Or jobs will be lost for such other high-tech inventions.
You cannot, nor has it ever been done, regulate the poor out of being poor. It just can’t be done.
