With all due respect, Jim..."peasants" did not operate in a free market! Neither did slaves nor indentured servants.
And setting an absurdly high minimum wage is NOT going to keep the economy humming and vital! It will give us one heck of an inflationary jolt however.

When free market capitalism reached Russia it stalled the ending of peasantry as there was then provided an economic reason to maintain it and use the peasants as cheap labor. BEsides, with the existance of slave labor and debt slavery in free market economies, what is so hard to bleieve about peasants being abused similarly?

Why is it absurd in your opinion?
Your comprehension is poor. I don't want all the sprinters to run equally fast, just to begin the race from the same place at the same time.No you want to say that one football player shouldn't be allowed to be stronger than another.
You want to tell the biggest and strongest to lose weight and stop lifting weights so everyone is equal.
You want all basketball player to be the same height and run equally as fast as all the others
And fairness isn't decreasing it's the same as it always was. Tell me what has stopped you from doing anything you really wanted to do? Was it the fact that a few people have more money than you or that some parents leave their kids money? WHen some CEO get a big fat bonus does it decrease your income?
Of course not
Seems to me that if the top 1% have gotten an increasing share of the countries wealth, fairness is increasing. Or do you have another explanation?
Actually it usually does since the public company he heads has less money to return in dividends or to invest in the company.Was it the fact that a few people have more money than you or that some parents leave their kids money? WHen some CEO get a big fat bonus does it decrease your income?
Of course not
Guy, it sounds like Pizza Hut is making yet another bad business decision.
Let's not forget, the world is full of buildings that "Used to be a PIzza Hut"... One only imagines what these Japanese Robots will be doing after they start glitching and annoying the customers.
Ten whole seconds huh?i was at a panera bread where they had one of these Kiosks.
There was one person trying to use the Kiosk and 20 people waiting in line for a HUMAN to take their order. I actually tried to use the Kiosk because I was kind of in a hurry between meeting clients. Ten seconds of scrolling and I took my business somewhre else.
If anything, they are LESS efficient, because they can only serve one customer at a time, and that customer has to take the time to figure out what he wants (by scrolling through the option) then running his order.
Which will still have to be prepared by a human in the back.
Right, and cars will never replace horses because the first ones were hard to drive and maintain. Automation IS coming, whether you like it or not, and you won't be able to stop it.i was at a panera bread where they had one of these Kiosks.

In some ways it will come, in other ways it will be resisted
They had automats in the late 1950s. Put your coin in the slot and get a slice of pie
It was supposed to be the restaurant of the future
People tired of the gimmick and went to restaurants with live servers
one of the stores around here WaWa (look it up, its real) has the touch screen for people to order their food. The food is still made by humanoids but its so much faster because the workers can give their attention to making the orders instead of standing there while someone takes 20 minutes to decide to get the same damn thing they get every time.i was at a panera bread where they had one of these Kiosks.

I don't disagree so what I'd like to see is a 100% inheritance tax rate. You can leave your money to your spouse but not to your kids. That would put everyone's kids on par with the Trump family, at least as far as is practical.I will posit this, if you took every cent in the entire world, every bit of land and resources and equally divided them among the entire population that within one generation we will be right back where we started.
Because people are basically sheep and deep down want to be told what to do so they will squander their new riches and make a few people rich

Actually, no...one major reason the Automats closed was inflation: prices rose to a point that paying with only coins was inconvenient, and the technology for bill-accepters was not there at that time. The first Automat opened in 1897, first one in the US in 1912.
That's the biggest load of bullshit from you.The key is not to work for someone else. Considering the vast majority of employers don't like even their best employees and look at them with utter disdain which is undeniable, a worker is best off starting their own business and hopefully not hiring others.
In 1974 my car got around 18 mpg today I get 30 todaystill the cost per mile is less todaygas is much cheaper today by the mile
then in 1974
In 1974, I paid about 30 cents a gallon
Today, about $2.25

I would need to get over 100 mpg to be cheaper per mile
Doesn't seem to be much interest in the concept. Too impersonal. So would watching your burger get spit out of a machine

--LOL sure buddy
the average was 11 and that was according to the manufacturer
sometimes you are just so ridiculous that it is beyond stupid
--LOL
Yes, it had just gone up in 73by the way in 1974 the average price of gas was 53 cents not 30 cents a gallon
