Perhaps your McDonald's burger flipper should think twice about getting a pay raise he can't earn by doing his job.    

While Bubba, LaQuisha, and Tyrone are whining about not making a "living wage" when working in a minimum wage job, their demand to raise their wage to $15 per hour is just the threshold that business needs to permanently replace the human whiners.

And the burger business is primed and ready to go to install machines who don't ignore you while talking on a cell phone, don't roll their eyes when you make a special order, or who act like their feet are emersed in concrete as they half-step getting your order ready.

Machines are ready.    And Bubba et al will be gone as fast as the machines are installed.

No business will pay worthless employees $15 per hour.   No way.   Never.    Re-read that, assholes.   You will be fired.   The whole lot of your unmotivated fat asses.

Business Insider has an eye-opening article from 2014 about the development of machines that will intentionally replace those who whine about not making enough.     And you'll be thankful that your Big Mac Combo won't climb to $12.95 just to give the unmotivated and lazy a raise that they cannot earn any other way. 

And there is another scary thought - if the illegal southern roach infestation takes hold and since Republicans represent big business and the likes of Rubio,  Bush, and Governor Skidmarks from Ohio, you can also figure Jose Del Taco will work for less under the table and further push Bubba et al out of a job.

 Yes, I am gloating - to see the Democrat voting base fuck themselves with their own greed is too delicious.

It is time to eliminate all social welfare programs - if we raise the minimum wage, force the working poor to live in the bed they pissed in by demanding more money from businesses for the same level of effort.   At no time should the taxpayer support anyone when there is now a "living wage".     Read more.

Somewhere along the way, the mantra of giving minimum wage workers an artificial pay raise has come into vogue with the ass licking Progressives who find nothing abhorrent in extorting businesses to pay more for labor worth less than today's minimum wage.     Progressives and their dog crap fly equivalent sycophants seem to think that a "minimum wage" is supposed to be a "living wage" and then they just ignore history of the wage.   It used to be that we paid meager wages and this institutionalized slums across Western Europe and America but those situations were largely replaced by a minimum wage and a social welfare state where the Western poor living in cleaner surroundings, have technological gadgets, tire and wheel combinations on their personal car that are five sizes too large for the wheel wells of those vehicles; today's poor in the West have air-conditioning, cable television, smart phones, and items the rich in other regions of the world wish they had.

In order to put this whole debate about the minimum wage behind us, I will concede the need for a $15 minimum wage.    Let's remove the excuses from the poor for their plight and put their success and failure right in their laps.

In exchange, I would require that all government handout programs to the poor be abolished.    No more WIC, no more welfare, no more subsidized housing, no more food stamps (or EBT cards).   We would abolish all Obamacare subsidiies.   We should abolish all programs that transfer money from taxpayers to non-taxpayers for their care.

This is quite a fair proposal.   If you say that $15 per hour is a living wage, then you can live on it and take care of your unmitigated reproductive urges.    You can buy your own birth control - feed your brats - buy your own phones - and pay for your own housing.    I'm taking you at your word.   I'm even going beyond King Pimple's demand for $10.10 per hour - let's price your labor at $15 per hour and give you everything you want.   Of course you will not have Earned Income Tax Credits, Child Care Credits, or other ways to weazel out of paying income taxes.   You will be required for the first time in your life to support yourself.   And no, you do not get any more raises - this is the floor - no cost of living adjustments - no stepped raises - immediately we'll get to $15 per hour from this current level - and for those states who have already adopted this, we'll require those employers to pay $25 per hour just for fun since we know the Federal Government knows better than the states.

Don't ask me about being unemployed.    You won't have Federal Unemployment Insurance either.   We'll have removed that since you have a living wage!

Give the bastards what they want and let's resolve the pathetic customer service we are getting at fast food outlets.  These bastards think that they are doing us a favor by working behind the counter.   Replace the lazy with touchscreens and machines.    Hire only enough to service the machines and to clean the building and bathrooms.    From restocking shelves, cooking fries and burgers, and making sandwiches to placing orders and taking payment, the days of the worthless, overpaid fast food worker is about to end.    So they think they should make $15 per hour!   Grant them their wish - make them so expensive to hire that machines will be more cost effective.   And I won't have to wait for LaQuisha to get off her damned cell phone or to wait for someone to notice I'm standing at the counter waiting to place an order.   Click here for the revolution that is on the verge of happening!

Ask yourself why any business should be forced to increase its labor costs on arbitrary reasons that some of its workers cannot support their personal choices by the wages paid to them? How is it that Government knows how to run things effectively when it overspends every day by the tune of 40% - that it borrows at a minimum 40 cents for each dollar it takes in to pay for goods and services and does so with exactly one written annual  budget being passed in the last 6  years - that means in five years it has not even fulfilled its own Constitutional responsibilities.    And for two of those six years, Democrats controlled everything.   And for the other four years Democrats controlled the Senate. Why is it the role of Government to impose any wage rate upon workers who are free to choose any job that they want to apply for?     Government does not require one damned thing from workers to meet a minimum wage - no level of competence, education, training, or intelligence - and not one test of work ethic and imposes no guarantee on the workers that they are going to be honest and trustworthy when hired by a business? How is it the responsibility of any business to have one concern about the personal situations of any worker?    Most certainly well managed businesses will attempt to understand, but how is it that businesses have to provide healthcare insurance or pay a wage rate that suits the worker without the business having the input on how that impacts the ability of the business to remain open? Most ignorant people who are discussing the minimum wage right now think that raising the minimum wage is a nirvana for workers - that only those who earn minimum wage will be impacted and that businesses are greedy and are punishing workers with low wage rates. Perhaps these people have no clue that retaining GOOD workers is a very difficult thing - and that GOOD workers will be compensated as they should be or those workers will walk to green pastures and will seek to get paid what they think they are worth. The cost of labor churn is ENORMOUS and businesses will seek to pay more to reduce churn and as a result will lower their annual costs to hire workers by reducing that churn rate.   So it is in the best interest of businesses to pay higher rates without being told by Government to do so. But somehow we have this notion that minimum wages are like speed limits - speed limits say the FASTEST speed you can travel, not the lowest speed tolerated.    There is a similar misunderstanding about the purpose of the minimum wage and this ignorance is manifold and shocking. The minimum wage was never intended to be a "living wage" - it is an entry level wage floor and the worker either makes more of his job or he doesn't. If you want more money, work hard, get educated, or mooch on welfare. The business owes you nothing. Businesses have never existed to provide jobs - businesses exist to make money for the owners and as a product of their efforts, sell goods and services. That is what business is all about.    The minimum wage exists primarily for first time workers or to jobs that require essentially the IQ of a radish to perform.    And if you are a worker making minimum wage longer than six months, you are nothing but a human radish - worthless and not worth spit as a worker.   If you were truly valuable, you would make higher than minimum wage without any government action.   And if there is a flood of workers competing for minimum wage jobs, what economic sense is it to increase the wage rate solely based on socio-economic bleeding heart whining?    If there is more of something, the price should decline, not increase. I'm not surprised the White House is dismissing this CBO study that says upwards of 500,000 jobs will be lost by increasing the minimum wage to $10.10 - none of the workers in the White House have held a private sector job where they had to make a payroll, live within a budget, and had to turn a profit. The minimum wage has an effect on all wages whether you care to admit that or not. The reason unions want the minimum wage increased is because most of their extorted labor contracts have pay provisions tied to the minimum wage - so if the minimum wage increases, labor unions get an unearned wage inflation. Lost in most discussions on the minimum wage is the unintended consequence of marketplace wage inflation - across the board you have workers making above minimum wage - those who make more than the current rate but less than the new rate, will have to have their wage rate increased - and don't think these people will want to make a dime more than the new minimum if they make $2 more - so their new rate will likely be inflated to the new minimum rate plus the $2 differential that existed before. And then there are the other workers who will be making just above the new minimum - they'll want their share - so their pay likely will be adjusted upwards at a commensurate differential. And if your workers are getting an increase, low level management will likely have to be compensated at a similar adjustment upwards and so forth. Raising the minimum wage from $7 something to $10 something is easily a direct 25% increase in labor costs - escalating further up the pay scale as adjustments are made to inflate wages to keep workers noses in joint. Then you have the taxes paid by employers on the increased rate - total effect of the minimum rate being raised could approach a 30% labor cost increase to the business. In restaurants where labor is often 25% or more of total costs, this would mean that you increase overall business costs by 10-12% - far exceeding profit margins of most businesses - so you have to factor that prices will have to increase 10-12% at a minimum as a result of the minimum wage increase from current to $10.10 - and it could be more depending on the industry - as all businesses will pass on wholesale costs upstream to other businesses for goods or services sold. And the key point of how utterly stupid increasing the minimum wage rate is the fact that there is no productivity increase resulting from employers paying more at the base and pushing wage inflation up the chain - these are not wage increases earned through higher production - these are increases solely imposed on businesses on false premise of living wage and the hidden cause that this economy is pushing employees who had better paying jobs into low paying jobs directly due to this Administration's pathetic economic policies.
