Many of us warned people in threads here on GFY that this would happen.

The demand for a $15 minimum wage certainly helped move it along faster. Not too long ago when McDonald's was the focus of the minimum wage battle and the $15/hr number was floated out there McDonald's spoke out against it and started lobbying against it. Then they stopped all that and announced they were focusing their money, time, and effort into automation instead of fighting the minimum wage increase. If people are going to demand more to flip burgers, they will just buy a robot that can flip the burgers.
