What are you worth? Minimum wage,base income,robots.

heads up, you click the link and it downloads to your computer, doesn't open a web page
 
how 'bout a minimum wage for the self-employed? How about the govt. paying failing business people something like the EIC rewards for being a dumb parent working a going nowhere job?

minimum wage laws are all stupid. But we do need Unions that are NOT co-opted by management.
 
I don't know and don't care. All I care about is maximizing what I can earn while feeling comfortable with the deal.


Minimum wagers are what 3% of the workforce and mostly teenagers of rich, white parents? Much a do about nothing. Far leftist talking point for the Dalamaintnuthin and ElRoach types.

The gravest fear that has rippled through humanity from the technology industry is that, someday, almost all of our jobs will be replaced by robots.

While that fear is often laughed off as something that will only happen far into the future, the truth is that it's actually happening right now.

In Dongguan City, located in the central Guangdong province of China, a technology company has set up a factory run almost exclusively by robots, and the results are fascinating.

There are still people working at the factory, though. Three workers check and monitor each production line and there are other employees who monitor a computer control systems. Previously, there were 650 employees at the factory. With the new robots, there's now only 60. Luo Weiqiang, general manager of the company, told the People's Daily that the number of employees could drop even further to 20 in the future.

The robots have produced almost three times as many pieces as were produced before. According to the People's Daily, production per person has increased from 8,000 pieces to 21,000 pieces. That's a 162.5% increase.

The increased production rate hasn't come at the cost of quality either. In fact, quality has improved. Before the robots, the product defect rate was 25%, now it is below 5%.

Guess you didn't listen to the story? They kinda blast the minimum wage as outdated thinking.
