> aren't paying enough money
Renumeration expectations are entirely malleable and subjective. When you've been riding the gravy train, even $15/h looks a pittance.
> Executives and shareholders have had decades of amazing wealth accumulation, but that has to end. The unwinding is happening and the gains from productivity, automation, and innovation belong to everyone and this moment in history may force government to adopt policies to make it happen.
What does America have to offer in 2021 that would prevent said executives (at the potential behest of shareholders) from jumping ship?

- pessimizer 5y ago> 1. automate Won't work. Customers are generally not going to figure out your UI, and even when they do a special case is going to come up once every five or so checkouts that requires employee intervention. > 2. become a charity This is a better idea. They should include e.g. 50¢ in the price of every Big Mac that will be donated to the workers who cooked and served it.
- johnnylambada 5y agoI like your answer to #2, but that’s not a charity, that’s aligned incentives.
- astrange 5y agoMcDonald’s doesn’t employ the burger makers. They work for franchisees, who don’t necessarily have “executives and shareholders”.

Customers are generally not going to figure out your UI, and even when they do a special case is going to come up once every five or so checkouts that requires employee intervention. It does work. Every new McDonalds in Australia (where wages start at $22/h) is designed around using these screens for ordering. American consumers will adapt, they aren't special. > This is a better idea. They should include e.g. 50¢ in the price of every Big Mac that will be donated to the workers who cooked and served it. Barely palatable burgers are elastic goods (unless one has been drinking).
