Wendy's To Switch To Self Ordering And Robot Burger Maker To Avoid $15/Hr Wage
They try to pass this off as "you know the minimum wage increase is going to force us to cut back on how many people we can hire in order to keep our doors open! that's just how business works"
when in actuality it's a spiteful act of retaliation. They can afford to pay people a living wage they just would rather not and any demand that they do so is met with threats the same way a cartel would threaten and "issue warnings" if you try to do anything to mess with its profits.

And this is the inherent flaw of capitalism...it is completely focused on the individual....and in this case "corporation are people". Wendy's has all incentive to do what's best for Wendy's to maximize profits as much as possible even if it is at the expense of society as a whole.
If corporations are people, then they are the most sociopathic and apathetic people to have ever lived.

People don't wanna hear that tho....
And the problem is the ones that wont fall in line will gladly pick up the slack for those that choose to protest in that way....and nothing is accomplished.

The key phrase is "low skilled worker". If you dont have an education or a skill you are fucked. If Wendys does go this route the "low skilled worker" flipping the burger will get screwed but the "high skilled worker" who can install, program and repair the new automated system will hit a lick.
Education is the new currency of the 21st century. If u dont have it youre fucked. Cacs know this and thats why they are intentionally trying to make college more and more expensive each year. They are trying to price middle and working class people out of higher education so they can keep flipping burgers and maintain total control of their uneducated lives. Without an education you dont stand a chance in the 21st century.
Its a cold game and these cacs are determined to make it even colder.

But where does it end? 1 IT guy will replace the work of 20 burger flippers/ cashiers. So unskilled workers won't even be able to do that...and then won't even be able to afford to get to college because they would have been priced out..
They're making it so that the only option is French style revolution
McDonalds is already losing. Let Wendy's do this and they'll lose as well. The fuck I look like getting some food made by a robot. These motherfuckers act like we don't have plenty other options out here besides their horrible ass food. Like it's hard to cut out McDonalds or Wendy's.

People are gonna eat this shit up, literally. They'll probably make more money and the media will cover on day one like..
"This is VIBE reporting live from Wendy's where they have employed the very first fast food burger-robot. This thing can cook up to 320 burgers in one hour, cut fresh tomatoes and lettuce the instant you place your order and fry your fries to the perfection. I'm here with Young Chitlin, who's the very first customer to try a burger from Wendy's robot. How is it, Mr. Chitlin?"
"Its amazing! It's better than when a human makes it. It's more fresh. It's hot. It's juicy. It's everything I've ever wanted. Sriracha sauce por favor!"
"There you have it! The perfect burger! Move over SpongeBob, there's a new fry chef in town! Back to you, IC!"
President Obama has frequently demanded an increase in the federal minimum wage to $10.10 from $7.25. Meanwhile, dozens of states have set minimum wages above the federal level and politicians from Seattle to New York are congratulating themselves for taking it all the way to $15. Maybe they should look back at the workers they’re leaving behind on their march to progressive-landia. Make that ex-workers.
What conservative rag did you copy this shit from?
And how is Obama responsible for an irresponsible CEO that would rather fire his workers rather than pay them 15 measly dollars an hour?
Wendy's Co. gave the two chief executives who led the company last year pay packages worth more than $21 million in 2011, the Associated Press reports.
Hired in September, CEO Emil Brolick made $4.6 million for four months of work last year, AP reports. Brolick's salary last year was $338,462, and he received two bonuses totaling more than $1.3 million and stock options worth $3.2 million, AP reports.
Brolick's predecessor, Roland Smith, was paid $16.5 million, including $11.3 million in severance pay. In 2010, Wendy's (NASDAQ:WEN) paid Smith $4.9 million, AP reports.
These are the people who say $15 is too much to pay a human being for an hour of their labor.

Hopefully those robots can make the damn baconator look more like the ones from the commercial instead of a smooshed piece of shit.

I'm happy that someone else is peeping this because I was beginning to sound like a broken record.
He always brings right wing foxnews bullshit to this board, so that means he's frequently reading those sites.
