I'm not 'think progress'

Quote where I said that...

While we know this is not all because of minimum wage hikes, the sane person knows that it has a lot to do with it.

You, on the other hand want to pretend it has nothing to do with minimum wage hikes.

Continue, little one.

I'm glad you admit you're wrong, and I never said that. Carry on.

I am right. You are wrong and you indeed said that.

So you're drinking today? That means the aliases should start posting soon...

So, minimum wage moonbats, automation will take some jobs, wage increases will claim others.

There's only one solution left, then isn't there? (aside from simply letting them rot on the leftist plantation)

Clearly it's time to either lower the minimum wage or do away with it altogether. Amiright?

We want these people to work, don't we? Learn a skill? Become productive, contributing members of society? We've got to get them into the workforce, and do it soon or they never will. So yep, there it is. Time to lower the barriers to entry, or do away with it altogether. Let's get this done!!!

No, the natural progression of technology is not a valid reason to get rid of the MW.

That won't be automated for awhile

I bet there's several Fine Arts majors, Lib Art majors, French poetry majors, Phycology majors, etc., that are now worried that they won't have a job when they graduate because now a machine can say: Hi Welcome to McDonald's.

It would be neither. It would mean someone in competition with them won and gained their market share. Life goes on.

That is not necessarily true. Wages are overhead and they directly affect operation.

I take it you have little to no business experience.

You do understand that higher wages include higher FICA costs also? It goes beyond just the wage. It goes also to benefits.

But if all of those jobs disappear, how will they pay off their $120,000 in student loans in order to get that degree majoring in anime stick art drawing?

He doesnt understand that. He also doesnt understand how corporate taxes work, capital spending and depreciation, and other corporate expenses, although, listening to him, he would try to convince you he won the noble prize in corporate business strategies.
