Good News in the fight for 15.

[Fair&Balanced]

Simple-minded liberals - "Lets force business to pay people at least $15 an hour and we'll all be rich".

Report: Wendy’s to Roll Out Self-Serve Kiosks by End of 2016

may 13 2016 Wendy’s fast food restaurant chain says it will begin offering self-serve kiosks at its 6,000-plus locations across America, making them available to costumers by the end of 2016.

The fast food giant’s decision to move toward automation comes just as “Fight for $15”–a progressive protest movement, pushing minimum wage hikes–is applying pressure on state governments to raise wages for low-skilled fast food workers.

Last August, Wendy’s CFO Todd Penegor told investors that mandated wage hikes will cause his company to pursue other innovative avenues that could lead to fewer jobs for low-skill workers.

That's fine, but certainly doesn't disprove the fact that the minimum wage is too low, also most people realize $15 an hour is ridiculous.

They're doing this with the minimum wage at 7.25, not 15.

True, which means their average pay is well within what most people think should be the minimum wage only, making your claims that raising the minimum wage would cause loss of jobs ludicrous on the face of them.

I was reading an article today about how middle wage jobs are disappearing and not being replaced. Soon their will be two classes of jobs. Low income and High income only.

So Wendy's is voluntarily paying above minimum wage, but claiming they're automating because the minimum wage is too high?

That is why we hate corporations.

Uh-Huh, and what which direction do you think CapEx outlays for automation is going to go if the MW goes to $15 and hour?

Congrats gub'mint worshipers welcome to the wonderful world of McRobots.and unemployed hamburger flippers.

Most corporations do pay above min wage.

You live in a cave or what?

Central planning always fails. Only capitalism creates wealth and liberals want to throw it all away.

Proving once again that: The Minimum Wage is ZERO.

speed ... name ONE wendys that pays 15 an hour ... just ONE !

He'll say there isnt one but innovation happens because of....liberals or something like that.

Why?

BECAUSE!!!! GOSH!!

 

[ClosedCaption]

Another example to Republicans celebrating the weirdest shit.

Really? Name one?

Capitalism has something called Creative Destruction. It means jobs go away when the world and technology change. It's a good thing, for most.

All part of the democrat plan. Raise wages artificially to throw people out of work and onto welfare where they'll vote democrat forever.

.

Apparently you're unaware that business doesn't initiate large capital projects based on CURRENT conditions they make those decisions based on what they forecast the conditions are likely to be in the FUTURE, obviously Wendy's is anticipating labor costs in the future which are high enough to justify the capital outlays necessary to replace human labor with automation.

...and increasing the minimum wage doesn't just push up labor costs for workers working at the current minimum wage, it's pushes up the costs for everybody working between the MW and the new MW.

Here endth the lession.

 

[Siete]

Wendys needs to grow to satisfy their sharehoders ... damn capitalist Liberals.

Did they also force someone to invent this kiosk?

Or did someone see a potential to make money?

Americans are to capitalism what hairdryers are to swimming pools.
