On Tuesday, the Los Angeles City Council raised the city’s minimum wage to $15 per hour via an ordinance that slowly “cranks-up wages for the next five years.”
As a result, a notable 59 percent of employers in the Los Angeles area now plan to make investments in automation technology, which would eliminate the need for them to hire a bunch of overly paid hourly workers.
Even McDonalds, which currently employs millions of Americans, is going down the path of automation by testing out an automated order machine that could conceivably one day replace most of its cashiers.

Guess no job is better than working for under $15 especially when a machine can do the job better. Although what a bonanza for skilled workers who will develop, manufacture and service the machines. Amazing how the government f'k's up virtually everything and anything it gets involved in when it pertains to private business but at least there's somewhat of a happy ending to this move, for everyone but minimum wage earners.
