The OP thinks raising the minimum wage will be accompanied by a huge drop in demand for services....so business owners can just fire people or cut hours. So easy.
Or...they replace people with robots. They are FREE! And they don't need people to manufacture and maintain them either.
Idiot.
Difference. Robotic manufacturing is skilled labor, and the robots replaced UNskilled labor. A handful of skilled workers make robots that will replace thousands of unskilled workers. A $50,000 robot that replaces 5 minimum wage burger flippers pays for its purchase price in one year.
