" Tell McDonald's that they need to give the person who punches their order in $15/hr? They'll just purchase a computer for $20k that will allow the customer to do it themselves and it starts paying for itself within 9 months"
Are you fucking kidding me. You've got to be fucking kidding me.
if this was an option they would have done it already!
I repeat:
If McDonalds could replace their workers with cheaper machines *IT WOULD ALREADY HAVE HAPPENED*
If at $15/hour, it takes 9 months for the machine to pay for itself, currently it would only take 18 months for the machines to pay for themselves. Raising the minimum wage, AS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS, does not destroy employment. It has a very, very minor impact on it.
