Effing moronic... all this will do is hasten automation. Why pay $15/hr to a low skill worker when you can get a robot to do it without the complaints and you pay 1 person $15/hour to maintain them.
And Im not saying that it will happen overnight but businesses will seek options if costs of labor go up by double or they will simply shut down and go out of business.
The lesson is supposed to be don't go and make a fast-food job a career but these ppl don't seem to understand the concept of getting skills and moving on to better jobs. And if you are too dim-witted to learn new skills then that's their problem to deal with not everyone elses thru the rise in prices, we shouldn't have to subsidize dumb, we do it enough as it is.
