Fire someone who works in the food industry doing a job that is easily automated? Unpossible! If anything her wage should be doubled to $15/hour or at least $10.10/hour with absolutely no negative effects on the economy because increasing the cost of a product, like labor, never ever leads to a decrease in demand for that product.
I don’t really see the demand for chopped onions going down anytime soon.
Unless people get laid off because their job becomes automated and they don’t have any money to buy chopped onions….
Then I guess there won’t be anyone around who can afford these automated chopped onions…except the government…who dole out food stamps….you know…because we can’t really call ourselves civilized and then let people starve….
So then the guys that could afford these chopped onions will have to pay higher taxes so the government can subsidize the onion chopping industry…and help the folks that can’t afford these chopped onions to eat…..
Which means the guys that use to be able to afford chopped onions and now have higher taxes, so less cash to buy chopped onions (or anything else)….so other industries will have automate to keep their prices down under the environment of falling demand….
So even less people who can afford chopped onions….so more taxes….so money for everyone else….
This race to the bottom gets real messy real quick.
Jesus, just pay the poor woman enough so she can eat already….
Fire her and buy a food processor. It’ll pay for itself in half a shift.
Great. Now you’ve made the uncryable onion lady cry.
