This is very wrong. If automating doesn't make things cheaper, it will not be done. And automation does not cost $0/hr.

Does anyone use the new GMail at your office? It's getting very good at guessing your response to most emails. I would guess that marketing automation for many tasks is here.

There is more than an hourly wage for an employee in terms of cost. My point is that if a few dollars an hour difference is going to make a difference between automate and don't automate then it will be done regardless. To put it another way, automation has to be WAY more expensive to not be done for an employee. So, the added labor cost won't make a huge difference and if it does then automation was inevitable anyways. To use the same example I did before, go look at what happens behind the counter at McDonalds now. The minimum wage has not changed remarkably and the kitchen is more robot than person.

Again, this is wrong.

Bill costs $15/hr to load boxes at the plant. Silvy costs $12/hr.

Who are you going to hire?

Silvy is a robot.

You clearly don't understand the decisions between automating something and not. You are just looking at the wage earned against the cost to run the machine.

You hire Silvy, and you hire Silvy if if Bill is willing to work for $10/hr too.

This is like beating your head against a wall. The minimum wage should be between $15 per hour and $300.

Choose a lane.

I choose $15 an hour.

It seems to me that the people arguing with Brick here are, or are representative of the folks arguing with him over the necessity of bailing out the auto industry. Specifically iirc,those same folks basically advocated for ignoring the far reaching implications of letting failure win the day and ridiculed the notion that the government investment and subsequent IPO investors would ever see a positive return on their investments. But instead to allow the unfettered free market to rule absent government involvement.

And to hell with the unemployed workers who would've taken it in the shorts.

And are currently lauding Nafta advances for labor despite them being already approved by all parties except congressional republicans nearly two years ago under the other guy.

I'm sticking with economist Brick.

It is fact the minimum wage laws were created for and intended to be a living wage. Any 40 hour a week job should be able to support a basic dwelling and bills without government support. What you are arguing is many people who work don't deserve a basic lifestyle.

Automating your own job- is it ethical?

Brick is the one confusing the whole situation and showing zero understanding of costs of production, why companies make decisions, and basic understanding of how how publicly traded companies run.

But hey, whatever makes him happy. Never been an argument Brick didn’t think he won.

I don’t say this often but BRick is very much right on this.

so reading one of my friend's posts from FB today who still works at amazon...sounds like those who have been with the company a while are getting screwed. losing benefits like stock options (which used to be a big hiring point in the past), and apparently isn't going to affect their paychecks in a good way really. according to her, it helps new hires, but not those who have stayed with the company.

in other words, the ones who made the company the biggest internet retailer in the world. great job, bezos.

How about keeping up with inflation from where minimum wage was originally introduced?

I always love when people are aghast at the idea that full time workers make 30K per year


And you actually threw landscaper and gutter cleaner in there?

Reverse engineer it from the standpoint of needing govt aid.


We're paying these people 15/hr one way or another. That's another part MANY seem to not understand.

Who are minorities,Alex?
