>Fmr. McDonald's USA CEO: $35K Robots Cheaper Than Hiring at $15 Per Hour
What now burger flipper?
>>75018378
the democrats will finally get their poor starving masses for a commie revolution
>>75018378
get a job fixing robots, making 25 an hour
>>75018378
We will employ ex-flipper on the alien deportation force, as we obviously no longer require the services of the 30-50 million undeported migrants who are currently squatting here, since robots do all our menial labor for us now.
One less place to get regrected from
Reddit is saying that this is justification for raising the minimum wage to $15/hr because you know... it's a great idea to pay people more than they're worth so they can get used to a more comfortable lifestyle before they're fired and effectively worth $0/hr because they just kept working their shit McJobs which have been replaced by machines instead of trying to educate themselves or develop their resumes.
Not.
>in before GO BACK TO PLEBBIT
I'm only there on reconnaissance and for /r/the_donald, honest.
>>75019961
Why are you on the_cuckold? Mr_Trump is where its at now.
>>75020113
Is it? I had no idea, I just check it once a day.
One of the biggest disgusting slop-suppliers is going robot?
Color me surprised.
I only go to McDonalds for their black coffee and McGriddles anymore. That's God-tier hangover food

Uncucked and /pol/'s new fob after SRS destroyed the_donald
>>75018378
What makes you think they won't soon be better than hiring at $10 or even $5 per hour?
Humans burger flippers are already obsolete, regardless of whether they get a minimum wage increase or not.
>>75018378
wait for this economic predictions to blow up in his face and continue watching his joke of a chain spiral down into the shitter when ever mediocre alternatives are provided.
>I'm lovin' it.
>>75018807
8 year university degree and there's only 1 robofixer for every 10,000 minimum wage jobs eliminated.
So you're down 9,999 jobs. What do those people do?
Meh, our wage is HIGHER than $15/hr and we still wont tolerate robots.
McDonalds lost a bunch of market share so they had to rehire a bunch of people here.

>The fast-food chain says it’s creating 15,000 new jobs across the country as it revamps its customer service approach to become more like a traditional restaurant.
This is just a fear tactic really, they don't want to pay a decent wage as it will cut into their obscene profits, not because they can't afford it.

>SRS has destroyed the_donald
>regularly gets trump memes and anti-hillary shitposts to the front page
I'm not against mr_trump, more subs the better, but the drama is fucking retarded
>>75020572
Except McDonalds main business is real estate. The burgers were to pay the mortgage of the building. The Catholic Church is the only thing that owns more real estate.
>>75018378
>What now
We all get STEM degrees and perfect this technology until paying more than a dollar for a big mac becomes completely unreasonable. Can't STEM? Fine, go business and get ready to do all my paperwork for me.
Personally I'm excited about 50 cent cheeseburgers. It'd be a fun challenge to see how many you can slam down. In Australia, cheeseburgers are closer to 3 dollars, big macs and other speciality burgers are almost 6 dollars at most places. Considering I can feed 4 people for that price, I consider this unreasonable.
Also, raising the minimum wage won't do shit either way.
The robots will be cheaper long term, regardless, just that higher minimum wage will cause the mass firings to happen earlier and more often as the ROI will be faster.
>>75020866
certainly that explains why they're hemorrhaging money then. The "real estate" certainly not their plummeting sales.
>>75020573
Welfare state. Encourage loft and education.
>>75020573
Pretty sure you could learn to fix robots at a 2-3 yr trade school
plus you would ideally have a technician in every location, maybe 3 shifts for 24 hour locations, so you're cutting maybe 20 jobs for 3
It's bad but it's not quite as bad as you describe
>>75020427
True although I prefer a coke sometimes instead of a coffee, especially if I am hungover
>extra hash brown for $1
Thank god niggers aren't awake that early
>>75020664
A lot of your everyday goods are also insanely expensive compared to the US.
So yes, what will happen is the cost of living will rise for everyone and we will be back at square one.
>>75020866
Nigga gave you seen where most McDonald's are? It's land already built on in commercial area, usually not in the greatest part of town
Real estate my ass
>>75020573
Starve
>>75020443
I don't get it. Looking at the_donald and mr_trump the content seems the same. Then again I haven't fully delved into the autistic comment section.
>>75020573
Start their own burger place and advertise "service with a smile and personal touch."
>>75020997
That's the same prices as Alaska.
BECOME MY SHILL NOW!!! INSANT PAYMENTS VIA PAYPAL
>>75020573
I have a quarter section of soybeans that need walking every summer. I'll gladly pay a half dozen of them 10 bucks an hour to do it. But that's manual labor so I doubt the little faggots would even bother.
>>75018378
Thanks OP.
I am seriously hungry for a gyro now, and no shop will be open where I can get one of those for at least another 12 hours.
tl;dr -- fuck you and your food porn.
>>75022047
Difference is you can grow beef/wheat here as opposed to having to grow it elsewhere, put it on a ship, fill the ship with oil, hire sailors to take it to Alaska, unload it at a dock, truck it to your frozen wasteland and sell it to you.
There is no reason for Australian fast food prices to be as high as they are. Our beef is award winning and even then, the best beef is exported. We are literally selling beef to locals at prices greater than what we're selling overseas.
The high cost of living in Australia is fabricated. Awesome, immigrants cry me a river, but some of us don't have the money to move to a low cost of living place like India or Vietnam.
This is why we say "fuck off, we're full" because if you come here you'll be dependent on welfare.
>>75020573
You're joking right?
I have an ex who has an art degree that got a before her degree was finished repairing electronics, soldering etc.
I have another friend with an associates degree who's a sys admin
I'm a network admin with no degree.
STEM isn't a meme, just that you need a degree to get in the industry
>>75021370
you COULD learn to fix robots in 6 months. but why would i hire a self taught guy when i could hire a guy with a masters degree?
thing is 1 guy would be enough for several restaurants. not many places are open 24/7, and things don't break nearly as often as repairmen pretend they do
That's what happened here. It's so much better not having to deal with some idiot behind the counter making order errors. I can't wait till the cooking is automated as well, that should eliminate all order errors.

>Former ceo
Means less than zero.
>kinda like your iq
>>75018378
Bernie Sanders will use violence to make burgers free because it's not faiiiiirrrrrrr.
Ancient Rome had slaves doing all the work.
Modern world will have robots doing all the work.
Ancient Rome was a welfare state with the pleb only living for the bread and circuses,
Modern world is bread and circuses
Ancient Rome had an military-industrial complex.
Modern world is swimming in it.
Ancient Rome only had patricians getting more and more rich, while the rest of the pleb was stagnating or enrolled in the army.
Modern world have magnates getting richer and richer, the middle class is stagnating and indebted.
Ancient Rome welcomed everyone to be citizens, even the ones that goes against Rome's values
The modern world is inviting everyone to be citizens, even the ones going against the western world's values
>>75023224
You mean Hillary Clinton?
>>75023347
No she's definitely more in favor of saying she wants to do these crazy Bernie-type things so when they inevitably fail she can blame sexism etc. and get what she really wants taken care of.
Bernie, despite being utterly illiterate when it comes to the economy and society, actually does want to do his bullshit so I can't ding him there.
>>75023580
Don't use violence and we won't hurt you.
>>75020455
Dumb ass
People bring business robots can't
That's lookers the only reson they democrats are not out on the streets at this point
