They are being "forced" to pay their employees a livable wage and soon,  said employees will be replaced by Johnny 5, then be 100% subsidized by your tax dollar.

The fact that people think corps will just sit back and be abused is laughable, and I applaud all of them. Not to mention Biden wants to increase the corporate tax rate again, lol.

What would be the difference by that rationale? Do you think they are going to stop the move to automation if they are paying employees $9.00/hr rather than $15?

Possibly. Look at the math.

For example, in US alone, McDonald's had approximately 14,000 stores.

Let's say an employee makes $15 an hour 40 hrs a week. That is $2400 a month. If they cut one employee across every franchise, that saves them $33,600,000 a month. Now cut 5 employees per franchise. That is $168,000,000 a month, which equates to over 2 billion dollars a year of savings.

The future is here.
