Dont fix the wages, fix the federal reserve and the value of our dollar. Raising the minimum wage wont do anything but accelerate the cost of living.

And definitely fix the federal reserve. When silver was in our coins a $1.25 in 1930s and that today is ~$17. But they took precious metals out of the money and decreased its value.

Kiosks are not a consequence of minimum wage, they are product of more convenient, cheaper and and better technology availability. this change was going to happen even if min wage was $3/hr.

+feilila1227 No it doesn't. Making minimum wage higher has no effect on speed of innovation. Businesses will automate as soon as possible as long as it saves them money. And currently a kiosk will save TONS of money. He said in video $1500 kiosk? That is cheaper than minimum wage 30 years ago.
@michaelandersen6834
@michaelandersen6834 8 лет назад
+Curtis Smale Minimum wage does not speed innovation, but innovation is not the issue right now. We have the technology for these kiosks, and we have had this technology for a while. The thing that prevents the switch is that companies do not yet think that the tech is cheaper than the person. Every year the price of the technology gets cheaper. Once the tech is cheaper, the person will be fired. Raise the price of people, and the switch comes early.
@CurtisSmale
@CurtisSmale 8 лет назад
Michael Andersen They already DO think the technology is cheaper. The problem is user friendly interfaces. While we have TONS of tech already, making something interactive that everyone understands is another issue altogether. I've worked quite extensively with these sorts of machines and can assure you that people over 40-50 years old will have MASSIVE trouble with the tech as it is. And since that age group is making the most money and spending on their kids/grandkids, they need to be catered to. Right now kiosks need to find a way to be more user friendly (LOTS of error control) and more understandable to all people. You wouldn't want to lose an entire age group of patrons just because they couldn't figure out how to operate your menu screen.

@ScarButta
@ScarButta 8 лет назад
You're both only partially right on your statements. Inflation is created by more money being facilitated in the economy. Obviously if you print more money, that creates inflation. That doesn't mean it's the only way. If more people have more money, that creates inflation as well. Ex: Let's say in an alternative world that the wealthiest people in the US distribute ALL their money to the rest of the population and EVERYONE in the country now has a million dollars (arbitrary number) in their bank account. With more people having more money in their pockets, businesses (especially those who sell normal goods) have an incentive to increase their prices because there is more demand in the market. Thus, at least in short term, the prices get inflated.
@meatbyproducts
@meatbyproducts 8 лет назад
+Market Socialist no short term impact. MW raises cause inflation. We also know that people don't get raises in conjunction with a MW hike. So if you make $15 an hour and it gets raised to $15, you now make MW. Please don't shoot up immediately and we see that in your 64 studies, but the do over time. In the 1960s only 2% of the workforce was MW and now it is 4%. So all we have done is inflate everything and out more people at the bottom. hummm seems like a great idea.

this video implies companies are only getting kiosks if the minimum wage is raised. automation is going to happen and is happening regardless of raising the wage. raising the minimum wage is a separate topic. your advice about becoming an expert is totally on point but has nothing to do with raising the minimum wage. becoming an expert at something gets you away from a minimum wage job but there will always be minimum wage jobs. should that minimum wage job pay a livebale wage? thats the question. not if automation is happening why its happening. basically your solution to the livable wage issue is "dont like making minimum wage? get a better paying job" yea thats not a solution sorry brah

@aaronbono4688
@aaronbono4688 8 лет назад
+dunk88 Yep, you're right. I work in software and my job is to create these systems that reduce man hours. Companies don't come to me to automate because they are worried about a rise in the minimum wage. They want to reduce costs as well as dealing with legal and HR issues they already have. And raising the minimum wage will not accelerate their efforts - they are already going as fast as they can. Raising the minimum wage will not impact technology replacing workers. But it is a humane thing to do. Stop treating the poor as one step up from slave labor.

+Aaron Bono I'm about to major in computer engineering in college, and i'v studied the job's jurisdiction quite well. I concur that they're hitting the accelerate button regardless of what is done, forgetting that the current speed it is being done is capped already. A lot of people don't understand that with it, a lot of the jobs may be leaving the big franchises and going to small businesses. Some people are just superficial like that but within reason.
@witchhatter
@witchhatter 8 лет назад
+dunk88 True, but raising the minimum wage will make automation happen faster by widening the pay gap between employees and the computers that replace them. The key problem is that what people are trying to do by raising the minimum wage is impossible. As I understand it, before the industrial revolution, you simply had to become a tradesman to support a family. If you weren't you might even struggle to support yourself. This changed, with many busy hands wanted for the assembly line. However, this was an era, not a permanent change. I say we're already back to the pre-industrial scenario. You just can't make it without valued skills, and nothing the government does can really change that.
@Barkeroni
@Barkeroni 8 лет назад
Very well said. However, it seems to me that we will replace these people even if minimum wage is not raised. If minimum wage is $7 an hour, that still is way more costly than these $2,000 kiosks. I think what also needs to be argued is the fact that a $15 minimum wage will discourage high school students to go to college. I recall some of my friends thinking they were on top of the world making slightly more than minimum wage, skipping college, and hoping that they would be a manager one day. Most of them are still stuck in some low paying restaurant or retail industry. A higher minimum wage in my mind, would simply hinder the drive or motive to move to a career. And no, you should not be raising a family or even one child on minimum wage. Shame on you if you are doing that, and do not blame the economic system.

So this guy believes raising the minimum wage is the cause of automation? He just said it costs $1,500 for kiosks to replace a $23,000 salary. It's going to happen either way. The point of raising the minimum wage is to create a livable wage. Replace jobs with computers, fine. That's unavoidable. New jobs will be created. That's also unavoidable. There's a reason sweatshops aren't legal in America. Because they're not humane. Yes, become qualified and find a better job that pays more. That's what everyone is trying to do. Nobody works at Walmart because they want to get rich. They still need to survive. This guy thinks he just broke the internet with his speech. That was not impressive in the slightest.

I have lived in California for 6 years. The minimum wage is $10.50 hr and will be raised to $15 hr. Companies are turning full time jobs to part time. When I shop places sometimes I have to wait a long time for someone to ring me up due to lack of workers. I now check to see how long lines are before I shop. I prefer using kiosks because those lines are short. I have a college degree but I had to take a job that requires a certificate to find work. At my first job, I never had enough hours to qualify for health insurance and I asked to be transferred. At my current job, I currently get health insurance, but my company may cut my hours again to make a profit. If I were to get 40 hours per week, I would make $11.50 per hour. California is NOT a liberal paradise. Raising minimum wage has been a disaster.

We own restaurants. We just put in a kiosk. All costs rise so we always need efficiencies. The misguided blunt instrument that is minimum wage hikes accelerate our adoption of technology. Our servers already make $60-70k a year with tips on top of minimum wage. Our cooks already make over $15 per hour, but minimum wage makes us pay the highest paid servers even more. So we won’t have anyone to make the food or we’ll pay cooks $20 now, meaning the effect of minimum wage is doubled. All consumers will suffer. Our whole supply chain from the farmers in the field to the delivery driver will make more, and who pays? You. & small businesses go under because no one wants to pay $25 for lunch.

What the general public fails to understand is that increasing the minimum wage would only lead to the increase in consumer goods.

Raise minimum wage and you'll simply see the cost of every day goods increase to bridge the gap. A $7.25 McDonald's value meal will increase to $15.00, hence completely defeating the purpose of the increase...

Just a question, what would stop companies from lowering wages and creating competition among employees for lower and lower wages if there was no minimum wage? Unionization doesn't seem like it could really combat it, I mean the company could just say no, fire everyone and people would be crawling back for their jobs because they need it and the companies could give them even lower wages. Maybe I have watched one too many anti-corporation movies but sometimes it seems like giant companies care more about profits than their employees.

Cool vid, but I think the Kiosks will replace people regardless though. There are a lot of countries where the minimum wage is actually a fair bit higher than the US and they still have a relatively low unemployment rate. I live in Australia for example and our minimum wage is a bit over $17, of course things cost a little more over here but in general less people have problems surviving without having to work 2 jobs or ridiculous hours..

They would have to raise prices because if wages increase the demand on their products will. This is called "supply and demand" which is how prices are set. If they do not raise the prices we will run into a shortage because people will just be buying more than they need so others won't have.

Kiosks don't cook the burgers. Raising minimum wage will allow people to buy more burgers. Most food service and retail already run on skeleton crews to maximize profits. Also, you said it yourself that these companies are already doing this. Retail and food service places fiercely compete with each other and you're exaggerating the increase in prices. They will make more money from the profits they make when people start spending like crazy with there increase in pay. Everyone's wages will go up as well. Why go through the extra training to be a kiosk repairman when I can flip burgers for the same pay.

Advice at the end seems like a recipe for self-deception. Like people who didn't learn any skill by 45 can overnight learn something and become irreplaceable. No they can't.

Those who follow this advice will soon find themselves in a position when they compete for a tiny number of jobs with enormous hordes of other low-skilled people who decided to learn the same skill.

You can't blame anyone because the younger generations have the upper hand. Those who follow this advice are "low-skilled people"? That's precisely contradictory to the very advice itself -- to become an expert. An expert is not a low-skilled people, and why do you assume that there is a "tiny number of jobs"? It depends entirely on the field and that statement is purely subjective. As he said, experts will [almost] always be hired.

If a 28k or 35k a year job can be replaced by a 1.5k kiosk a 10k of 5k a year job can be replaced just as easily.

The sooner we face the reality of the future job market the sooner we can recover. Most of America is employed in jobs that are easily replaced. We need to focus on making people knowledgeable and capable with new technology, math and science. Consider manufacturing jobs from Apple computers. Currently they employ thousands of workers in China. If apple were to invest in American operations they would not be able to employ so many and would likely rely on automation with maybe hundreds if American jobs that pay considerably better than their current Chinese operations.

AlecTiengerd Why do people like you use mcdonalds as the prime example of your whole argument, like the minimum wage jobs start and end there and only there. You know why mcdonalds is loosing money in this economy and considering auto-mation? because it's food and Customer service sucks. This market is being taken over by fast-casual places like Dos coyotes, Chipotle, chick-fil-a and etc where lines reach out the fucking door during lunch time. And those customers go there because they top quality service and food, not auto-mation. I work at Chick-fil-a, where are entire design is based around providing you the best experience and food, hell we have entire POSITION in our stores called second mile where the person's only Job is to greet guests that walk in, wander around the dining room chatting with people, getting them refills and seeing if they need anything. Another postion called Runner that ONLY delivers food to guests. Places like ours is taking over and the normal fast food joints are shitting scared, there loosing money and considering auto-mation. But guess what, my position DOES take skill, it's hammered into us All the time by the company and we even go on retreat meetings to talk about it. customer service is a big thing in fast casual that it cant be automated. But I still get minimum wage, shouldn't I be allowed a livable minimum and paid fairly for the skills I'm taught everyday?

James Ford First of all, I said McDonalds doesn't take skill. I see why you work minimum wage and there's a difference to flipping burgers and talking to people. One is a mindless activity and the other is a social skill. and the reason why there isn't a line going out McDonalds door is because people don't like eating there for the food. If you think the reason why McDonalds is loosing money (which is only .7% of sales) is because their food is shit not their customer service.

Increasing minimum wages to $15 per hour can work for small businesses, if the government will be willing to pay the difference that's needed to reach $15/per hour. (example: Bob makes $7.50 per hour but his employer can't afford to pay $15, the government can pay and extra $7.50 to Bob as long as he remains employed.) This will prevent Bob from losing his job and filing unemployment and help the small business.

Raising the minimum wage will drive up prices of goods because they cost more to prepare, deliver, etc. Rising costs of goods will cause inflation, then $15 will be worth what $7 is now and everyone's savings will only be worth half. Sounds like a great idea! The problem is inflation, not the arbitrary number assigned to minimum wage. This battle will come up every few years if we keep raising and raising to adjust for inflation caused by the last raise. The solution is to end inflation by making our dollar worth something again; which is most easily done by returning to a gold standard

And yes I may be biased because I never had to go through the difficulties these people have to go through, but while it may temporarily make the workers lives "better" it will hurt families like mine, as well as the workers' families as well. So i just don't understand, why? We are just supposed to let blue collars workers have higher pay while them not knowing the full consequence of what they want, and them not listening to white collar workers trying to explain to them its just too fast too quick, because they are driven by emotion and anger rather than the holistic picture?

Raising the minimum wage will have little to no effect on jobs being replaced by machines. As he clearly stated in the video, machines are ALREADY significantly cheaper than minimum wage jobs, so they are going to be replaced regardless. This argument doesn't even factor in the other benefits of machines that could probably make a business owner replace a human even if it was slightly MORE expensive than minimum wage.
