Automation is happening anyway. Restaurant owners have enough trouble finding workers who can get themselves a reasonable place to live at the wages they pay, even when those wages are $15.I would contend that the $15 wage is only a slight acceleration of what supply and demand is causing, perhaps occasionally cutting demand and occasionally getting somebody their $15 a few years earlier than they would be getting paid that anyway (or lose their job anyway even in the absence of the $15 minimum wage). |
