So what do you have to do to get the Theory of Moral Sentiments?
In order to understand the Theory of Moral Sentiments you have to make a pilgrimage to The University of Glasgow and drink from the cup of Francis Hutcheson. If you drink from the wrong cup; however, you will forever be indoctrinated by The Communist Manifesto for all of eternity.
Wait, maybe I’m thinking of someone/something else…

Is the cup guarded by a 500 yr old little blue thing with a red hat and beard? Or maybe a 500 yr old French knight with who oddly has a proper English accent?
You’ll have to make the pilgrimage to find out.

That is some scary shit there.
You wonder how people simply cannot see this happening when they want $15 an hour to mop floors.
Minimum wage was not designed to be a career.

I honestly think people just don’t understand how wages impact business expenses and thus head count. A basic economics class should be required in high school.
People just think McDonald’s is huggggge so they can afford to pay their workers $15/hour. Ya, not necessarily.

A big problem is that these people think they are sticking it to some billionaire CEO, when in fact the franchise owner is the one getting fucked over big time.

Or the small business owner…can you imagine having to pay a stockboy 13-15$ an hour? How can you justify any kind of first time hire when you are paying them 32K a year? That stockboy better have 5+ years of stocking experience and a BS in Stock.
Good luck, first time job hunters!!
…and therein lies one of the main problems largely overlooked with this issue is the effect IT WILL have on no to low skilled workers and the quality of our future workforce.
Most people got their first work experience in high school doing these jobs and learned a lot not taught in high school or college (work ethic, etc…). They’re now going to be crowded out by college grads looking to capitalize on the relatively high wage for low to no effort (while they continue to look for more respectable employment) and will happily move right along once a better opportunity arises.
Costs associated with a higher turnover will erode profits not to mention morale will most likely erode as well (jaded college grads vs. eager high school kids looking to get some weed money). Yea, can’t wait for automated McDs in the next 10 years!

A bit redundant, but again showing what everybody else is saying.

That’s just corporate media brainwashing.

How does an unskilled worker get any work experience, if employers cannot afford to hire unskilled workers at 32K a year?
Where the hell is Zep when you need an easy answer!
Force the billionaires to employ them at their expense, duh.
I see this as economic Darwinism, where businesses will get rid of the expendable and less productive workers, while keeping their best and giving them more duties to handle.
Your future healthcare folks
If true why? Is it because there is not enough tax revenue to make payments? If this is true, why? Because corporations do what they can-no matter what-to increase revenue for the major shareholders?
