Why read something that compares apples to oranges. Actually the number of employee's do matter along with price point and other factors that you ignore because it counters your argument.
Not when you're dealing with over 100K employees. The cost presented in the study was PER EMPLOYEE...and the jobs the employees of both companies are doing are not that different.
Moving the goal posts that is not what you said. you said making 15 was a low wage and you can barely get by. you neither mentioned anything about family or anything else. don't change the argument because it gets countered. 12 dollars is a livable wages. 15 is a livable wage. heck when i moved i was making 10 an hour and was still able to get by.
I'm sorry - I didn't realize that it was your experience that $10/hr is JUST FINE in NY and SF just like it is in backwoods wherever. And I didn't realize that in your world, everybody's single and just taking care of themselves, that there's no single parents out there trying to take care of a child on their own, that there's nobody who hasn't faced the oh-so-hard times you've faced.
UMM 15 avg starting wage for a entry level computer tech. computer programmers or admins will make more but for your average computer tech 12-15 is average.
But an entry level computer tech is not going to be the one doing the automation for a business, is he? He'll be doing low-level stuff like PC installation, running cables, and minor repair. Been there, done that.
you want to know how many stores use automated food ordering machines now? quite a few. they are easy simple and work well. so yes they can easily automate mcdonalds or burger king.
Again, we'll see.
they are already automating walmart. they are already have self check out. 1 person can cover 4 or 5 stations compared to having 4 cashiers.
Yes, I know about the automating check-out...and while they're okay if you have just a few items, if you've got a lot of items, they're a pain in the kiester. They effectively provide an assist which alleviates the need for one, maybe two employees max per shift, but they will not, repeat, will not, replace all the human employees. Ain't gonna happen.
