    On Andrew Yang's thing about automating fast-food jobs: If you favor a high minimum wage, you also favor automating low-skilled jobs. (And that's fine!)https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/city-hall/story/2021/03/15/how-yang-charmed-the-right-on-his-road-to-political-stardom-1368366 …

        More broadly, the insane gatekeeping here, telling candidates which podcasts they shouldn't go on, is something Yang (like Bernie Sanders) is smart enough to ignore.

        Bad news, Yangie...they are already automating those jobs, with or without paying the ppl who do work there a decent wage. Paying better will not *cause* that. 🙄

        AI is a danger, automation is far more than machines.

        They already automated checkout at Home Depot, Lowe's, and every major retail and grocery store. If it was so marginal that a slight increase in wages makes it worth automating then it was already worth automating. Minimum wage isn't solely driving the automation decision.

        In theory you should be able to automate an entire McDonalds. Delivery guys delivers foot in the morning. One dude sticks around to unjam the mystery box. But who knows if that is cost effective.
