Ed's focus here is not so much on automation - but on trashing the increase in minimum wage that is driving this with McDonalds. Because apparently earning a living wage is asking for too much - "think of the jobs" ed says. Disregarding that the people in those jobs, today, do not make enough to live.
> Pricing young job seekers out of the market and a weekly paycheck is just one immediate effect of an increasing minimum wage.
that's some impressive mental gymnastics. Obviously the logical alternative then is to remove the minimum wage, "let the market decide" and put in place some real slavery in this country. Then EVERYONE can have a weekly paycheck! Nevermind it won't be nearly enough.
