Why now?

Because we're in an election cycle, the left pulls this out every cycle.

"Vote for us and we'll give you more Free Stuff!"

Confident that the people who fall for it won't think through just where the money to pay for all that "free stuff" comes from.

It's not about helping people it's about votes, always has been, always will be.


:2 cents:

You might find this interesting but not a surprise .....


"When Wal-Mart Stores Inc. chief Doug McMillon announced plans to boost store workers? minimum wage earlier this year, he said the move was intended to improve morale and retain employees"

"Yet for some of the hundreds of thousands of workers getting no raise, the policy is having the opposite effect."

"In interviews and in hundreds of comments on Facebook, Wal-Mart employees are calling the move unfair to senior workers who got no increase and now make the same or close to what newer, less experienced colleagues earn"

Attention Mericans: when government pays partly the employees living (for example employer 50%, government 50%), it is partly socialism. It is also called as subvention for the companies aka government supports businesses by in actuality paying partly the workers salaries.

-"I will pay only that and that much, but workers can't live with it."
-"Don't worry, uncle Sam in here; we pay the rest."

Shocked! :1orglaugh

People are sick! Socialism is sickening!

You mean like vote for us MERICA Fuck yea we will build a wall and you don't have to pay for anything with taxes we'll just borrow from the Chinese...

The same people keep falling for that one over and over.

1. Pizzas can be delivered by drones *drone deliver service contractors
2. AI order takers can take phone orders alternately web forms or apps could enter orders.
3. Pizza assembly can be 60% to 80% automated.

Someone is going to make a shitload of money replacing restaurant workers ...

Hotel service workers may be an issue -- room rates might go up $10 /night (average).

Warehouse, retail and some service workers will take a big hit in the form of no jobs.

Police and prison costs will skyrocket though, with all the unemployed and lack of opportunity property crime will rise when they start a new occupation of crime. The laws will be changed to make it legal to shoot thieves in that act -- that is one option to lower unemployment in a $15 minimum wage world.

When machines (now AI robots) are advantageous over human employment costs the machines have always won.

I order my pizza online.

It allows me convenience, I can save my favorite pizzas. I can double check my order, ensuring fewer mistakes. And I can track my order, to get a better idea as to when it will be at my home.

These are technology retraining projects but they may be too intense for the lowest skilled workers ... Came in the email from Fierce Security (of all palaces).

Why could pizza assembly not be 100% automated?

No, then we just sit back and let the robots to work their asses off. There will be a little wealth distribution dilemma, but the easiest solution is to give most for me, so there won't be fight over that portion.

they already are. frozen pizzas
