@freemo @clacke minimum wage prohibits the assignment of jobs whos nominal value is below the minimum amount that can be paid.
it results in either having to batch jobs (ex. the groceries won't be orderred until i need enough to cover the minimum) or overloading jobs (i'll just add it on to the other guy i already pay 15$ an hour)

True plus the third point, a smarter more skilled person replaces them who is able to do the equivalent work of multiple people. For example a programmer writing ocr software to replace 100 data entry professionals
@freemo @clacke McDonalds just replaced the wage slaves with ipads when they did this.
yup, and while that causes them to love some customers its still cheaper than paying a higher wage after those losses
@icedquinn @freemo @clacke which is the third one: hundreds or thousands of min wage cashiers replaced with a small team of Indians who write that godawful customer facing POS
