How's that $15 per hour minimum wage thing workin' out for ya?

Flippy the Robot is on duty. A burger-flippin', fry-dunkin', non-complainin' "employee" for burger joints is now on the job in about a hundred locations, including some White Castles and some other places in California, after having passed a year or so of real world tests.

He can work the full day shift, from breakfast to lunch to dinner, without a break for the toilet, without a "rest" (smoke break) period, without joining a union, cheating on drug tests, or going on strike for more money.

And this is just the beginning of the process. Current cost per month for this model is about $3,500. It probably replaces a minimum of three employees, and perhaps as many as six or eight.

We always knew the robot would be the ultimate answer to that problem of being forced to pay higher wages by activism and pressure. The market is what it is. If you apply FORCE to it to alter the equation, you only compel the payers of wages to find a solution faster and more comprehensively.

The KEY to any business whose highest cost is payroll is to CONTROL THE COST OF PAYROLL.
