Minimum wage leading to touchscreens replacing cashiers?

[Red1966]

Not everyone is smart. Not everyone can be trained to perform anything beyond menial labor.

Not everyone is created intellectually equal, so if the new work force needs smart educated people, you are isolating potentially millions of people whose only crime is being born not as smart as the rest.

That's how evolution works.

Back enough people into a corner... they'll explode when they come out. Just sayin

Not sheep. They just stand there and starve to death.

Although I hate McDonald's, they are responding reasonably to the growing costs of doing business. Especially in light of increasing sentiments toward higher minimum wages and the pipe-dream of "living wages" for burger-flipping and cashier "professionals".

McDonald's gets a bonus when they develop machines to replace workers: the workers they're eliminating are typically dumb, inefficient teenagers working their first job. And the increase in efficiency of machines over teenagers must be huge.

everything you just said is false, but then again, you are a very stupid person who joined a white supremacy group during one of his 7 sock puppet accounts here.

why does australia have a $17 minimum wage and cheaper big macs than we do, skinhead klanman?

Unskilled workers have families also. Many unskilled cannot become skilled. This has to be acknowledged

Your personal problems have no bearing on what your employer pays you.

It's not just about us being "right" (we are), it's about progressives and the insane and naïve policies/legislation they are responsible for, coming back to bite them in the ass...as they ALWAYS do.

When you create a hostile environment in which businesses must operate, don't be surprised when you encounter hostility staring back at you.

why are businesses still open in denmark?

$20 an hour there, yet somehow the sky hasn't fallen.

maybe you watch too much fox news, and are incredibly stupid?

 

[UncleBuck]

Why don't we just offer them government (i.e. taxpayer) handouts? Because that's what a "living wage" would be for fast-food workers: a government-managed cash-flow system funneled from the real producers in society, to the unwise people who get themselves into life situations that force them to work 2 shifts at McDonald's.

Fast food restaurants are not based upon a business model that could ever support paying a living wage to "professional" busboys, dishwashers, waitresses, short-order cooks, cashiers, etc.

who do you think the "real producers" are at mcdonalds?

because i guarantee the entire franchise would shut down over night without all these burger flippers you are so hostile towards, for some odd and unexplained reason.

is one of them banging your nasty, ugly wife? leaving the faint smell of fries in the sheets for you?

 

[UncleBuck]

starvation is progressivism's natural ally.

then why are rural, red states the biggest recipients of food stamps?

facts don't ever seem to agree with you.

 

[UncleBuck]

Sounds like communism is making a comeback.

my god you are breathtakingly stupid.

No kidding If you can't learn a trade, something most definitely is wrong with you. But something can be wrong with you, and you can still learn a trade! Holy shit balls, really???!!!

Guy in town runs one of the most high class detail shops around. Not too many exotics around these parts, but if you were going to see one it would be in his shop getting shined up for the next days drive. He personally polished my 360 a couple times over the years. Runs a 3 man crew, and they are always busy, even when the snow hits.

He has down syndrome so his hurdle is set much higher than most, yet he clears it daily like a boss.


There are so many trades that most are mentally and physically capable of learning one.

that's the solution right there.

every mentally retarded person can just open a successful business. no need for a regular, scheduled minimum wage increase.

you guys are fucking geniuses.

[UncleBuck]

Tweak much?

did you go tell any white pride types how much you appreciate what they are doing lately?

or have you still been crying all this time about some internet slowdown for being a white power type?

[dbkick]

Ask me if I give one flying fuck about you or just what you are.

you cried for weeks about a slowdown that i didn't even give to you. i can cite the posts where you cried endlessly. that shows me that you do give quite the fuck.

What is the average profit of your typical McDonalds franchise?

 

[dbkick]

I just searched it and you are wrong. We're the 3rd highest globally. Just google it, there's page after page of info showing the same. There's a lot of deductions for sure, but there's an argument to be made that the high tax rate for corporations is one of the causes of corporations leaving to go overseas and limiting job opportunities here on our soil.

The rate in practice

PolitiFact, our sister site, has looked at several variations on Bolling’s claim and ruled them Mostly True almost every time. The reason for the "mostly" qualifier is that companies aren’t actually taxed at the statutory rate.

Tax deductions -- on health insurance, pensions, and investment returns, for example -- allow corporations to reduce the pool of taxable profits. So economists often look at what they call the effective tax rate, which experts have told us is just as valid a measurement of corporate tax rates as the statutory rate.

But whereas the statutory rate is relatively straightforward and uncontroversial, different, reputable organizations have published very different estimates of the effective tax rate that corporations pay.

The most recent estimate comes from the World Bank and International Finance Commission, which put the United States’ effective rate for 2014 at 27.9 percent. That’s second-highest behind New Zealand among OECD countries and 15th-highest among the 189 countries measured.

In 2011, the Tax Foundation published a survey of 13 prior estimates of the United States’ effective tax rate from 2005 to 2011. All 13 studies pegged the U.S.’s rate as above average, but none had the U.S. rate first overall.

Another 2011 study by the Congressional Research Service put the U.S. effective rate at 27.1 percent, slightly lower than the OECD average of 27.7 percent
