It will accelerate automation if the math makes sense. McDoanld’s are going cashierless, and grocery stores will increase self-service checkout (requiring only sentries and stockers at the store). Retailers will shut down brick and mortar stores (30% of malls will shut down in the next 5 years).

The minimum wage hasn't changed in a decade and the math is already making sense. What's the point in waiting longer?
