Btw....the unemployment figures are growing again..particularly in

I am convinced that $15 minimum wage is a disaster for cities that
adopt them, because it will decimate low income communities through
unemployment and crime.

I am very interested in what happend to Los Angeles a few years after
their new minimum wage goes into effect.

Generally, robots will replace low income people anywhere, but not as
fast as where a high minimum wage is adopted.

After all, a robot can flip burgers pretty well!

If a robot can flip burgers, it won't make a damned bit of difference
what humans are making in wages. They're done, whether it's in five
years or five years and six months.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, will stop automation. And what wages are
being paid has nothing to do with it. The technology has it's own
pace.

Already being tested and adopted in some places. When you look at it
burgers, tacos,

I doubt that one will work because what kind of peppers would be used (cooked or raw) and when? A taco out of a vending machine? That would almost be like a miniature chef's salad out of a vending machine. I'd say that's a losing effort.

pizza

I'd say yes, because that would mean a ENCLOSED pizza display case.

(As opposed to the chefs joking, yacking and talking with their bad breath at each other all over an open display of pizza slices). That's why I prefer large chain store pizza places like Little Caesars and Pizza Hut, because right out of the oven, the pizza goes STRAIGHT into the box or on the serving table.
