Google is perfecting self driving cars which can react in an unknown, chaotic environment. Designing a robot to operate within static boundaries with a fixed set of rules will be a cakewalk by comparison.

I envision robots replacing the ordering and the food preparation process and having a) a guy who can performance maintenance on said robots and b) a security guard.

I want to buy cheap investment properties so I can rehab them and rent them out. My goal is to provide housing for people who don't make $15.00 an hour. How will I achieve this? I will read books, do research and move forward. I do have a job (wish I was paid more) but it it's enough to support my family and business... How is this possible? We live within our means and take accountability for the decisions we make. It's not extraterrestrial science.

McDonalds is going to continue to decline. People are tired of eating bad processed food at these places. Places that make fresh grilled burgers, a nice environment, and that actually taste good are gaining traction. McDonalds next step is, not redoing their food preparation, but reducing operation costs (people). stupid. shows they don't really care about customers.

Probably

It does require a policy response, i'm not sure an ever increasing minimum wage is really the best policy response though.

Ideally, eventually we'll have robots doing most of our labour while we keep doing the creative stuff (creative accounting included lel). The issue then becomes, how do we organise the distribution of resources when we can no longer have a "work for your bread" type system (which, i'd argue, has been pretty successful for the past few thousand years let's be honest).

I think it's totally reasonable for min wage to be tied to inflation, and think it's kind of ridiculous it already isn't. Otherwise every year you effectively take a pay cut.

The food is actually not that terrible when made properly.

Whats ****ing them is quality control and employees who dont give a ****. But i cant really blame the employees considering how overworked and underpaid they are.

The one i go to sometimes is nonstop swamped. You can tell when they are cutting corners making the food. And the dining area is always filthy. Reducing operation costs is going to make it even more disgusting.
You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told you're a god or a total bastard. The iron always kicks you the real deal. It's the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. I have found it to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But 200 pounds is always 200 pounds.

Public housing? I don't remember exactly how it works but property owners can rent them out to people on public housing programs, the government pays most of the rent depending on the tenants income. I think I heard of people on welfare only having to pay as little as $40 or $80 a month and the government pays the rest of the rent.

Keep in mind it's not only about how much they "deserve", but also how much the economy can handle. If it's not sustainable to pay them $15 an hour, we shouldn't do it

Go ahead and give them their $15. I don't want to hear any whining when hours are cut, people are laid off, and job scarcity becomes higher than ever.

Still unskilled. Its not from lack of ability of the workers the varying quality of food is more than likely do to the length of time it has been prepared and sitting out. My brother worked at mcdonalds for about 3 years and also agrees that its ridiculous to pay these workers $15/hr.

And no I don't work at McDonalds or any other fast food restaurant
I worked at Mcdonalds for 3 months when I was 16 because Best Buy needed 3 months of work experience. In that 3 months I was able to become employee of the month and out work all the idiots that have been there for 5 years+. You need to realize these people are LAZY. They don't even wash their hands and **** properly man. I've been in that environment and if someone who is fkin raised in the country and is working at McDonalds past age 17 or 18 is a fkin lazy ass don't let anyone tell you otherwise and stop rooting for them. By 18 at best buy I got sent to a sales conference for the top sales people and was making 13 an hour WHICH isn't a lot I make a ton more now at 21 with another job but I'm trying to make a point here. They don't DESERVE that money because they don't have the drive to find another job. It's different for people who are new to the country and can't really work anywhere else cause they might have came from a really ****ty place but we came to canada from Iran and my mom worked **** jobs for a few years then worked her way up to where we are now 19 years later so don't tell me these people deserve 15/hr. Trust me, they don't. The job is easy and as people are saying, monkeys can do it.

no fck off.

u do nothing but flip burgers all day. y shud i pay for $15, if u r expecting to get paid $15, u better remove that tipping jar. It doesn't require skill. anyone can do it, $2/hr is more like it for being a lazy kunt and not looking for better job.
