    Minimum Wage; putting The Little Guy out of work for generations.

    Unions have always supported it, and of course Democrats, supposedly the champions of The Little Guy, have always supported it.

    I guess we’ll have to ban, or restrict, or license, or otherwise interfere with the production, distribution or use of, robots then, being that every government-created problem demands more government interference to “fix” the problem. Or as I like to put it; “Every little bit of socialism demands a little bit more.” This is the definition of Progresivism.

    “Robots contribute to Global Warming! Terrorists will use them!”

    The minimum wage, immutably, unarguably, is zero.

  3. comatus Says:

    That’s right, Fred, and it appears to be the advantage of wages over interest rates as an income source.

    Fred, there used to be common situations where the minimum wage was less than zero, and it actually costs an employee to go to work.

    Fifteen tons and what do I get?
    Another day older and deeper in debt.

    The day *any* fast food joint around me installs a robot or kiosk I will spend $50 on food.

    Fuck these know nothing do nothing whine about everything shit heels.

    The government that can impose a $15 minimum wage can also require it to be paid to a mandatory “robot assistant” or some such title.
    The Democrat Party, when in power, has ways of funneling money to its supporters. The $15 is one way of doing that, but if there’s a private sector work around to defeat that, they’ll just legislate against that too.

    I for one welcome our new robot overloads underlings.

    “…it is right to consider the ethical and economic repercussions of this inevitable technological scaling of computing.”

    Not to mention the repercussions of computing making it so easy for inane comments like that to be published from someone pretending at journalism. What of all the pressmen and paperboys?

  9. Lyle Says:

    Set the minimum wage at a hundred thousand dollars per year. With a house on the beach as a perk. That’s Limbaugh’s idea and it’s a good one. Then we’d all be well-off. Right? Well if it’s law, right? That or simply make it a crime to be poor. That or just quit messing with people.

    You think anyone in government has ever considered the possibility that it might be OK (not even preferable but just OK) to stop messing with people? Like that story of Sodom and Gomorrah; is there even one righteous among them?

    This almost exists today in Reagan National. There is a restaurant in the A (old) concourse/building where every seat has an iThing that you use to order, and a live person exists only to deliver your food. They don’t talk, they don’t take your order and they don’t take your cash.

    People exist only to serve the machine that does the above. I saw two people “serving” almost 150 live diners. Hell, I don’t think they even check ID for alcohol (I saw someone scan what looked like a Driver’s License a few seats down but cannot be sure). I’ll say this: it was faster than the norm.

    I, for one, welcome our food-service overlords.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
