๐จCalifornia did it! Now minimum wage is $20.00 per hour. #news
But in a surprise twist, fast food and low paid workers are getting fired in large quantities.
New automated ordering kiosks and payment systems took their place. 
Discussion
Why didnโt they raise it to $1000 an hour?
Exactly! It's like the stimulus payments and UBI people. If printing money and giving it to people works, why not just send everyone a millball and get on with it?
And here comes the universal basic incomeโฆโฆ.
Huh! Wonder why no one saw this coming?!
Most be those fascist bastards!
Ya same in mass we $18 this year and they only giving 20-25 hours a week getting paid every 2 weeks.. i know ppl doing 3 jobs to live
Shit like this pushes ppl to sell drugs real talk
Yeah drugs and crime are the only way to get ahead it seems. OnlyFans, Prostitution, Explosions, Etc
Oh no,who could have possibly seen this coming. How dare these businesses opt for cheaper automated labor vs pay higher hourly wages.
Now that being said these machines do need techs who can repair them, but the idea of just raise the minimum wage and everyone will sing kumbaya is ludicrous.
Newscum is a fucking idiot
Who could have possibly imagined that raising the minimum wage would cause workers to be fired? I sure as hell never would have. /s. Minimum wage is just another form of price control, which pushes people out of work.
