I don't think anyone is saying it is "ok", but if you increase the minimum wage to something "livable", eventually it will be profitable for employers to start automating those jobs out of existence (for example, with automated burger making machines at MCD). What is the solution to that? Lower living costs so that minimum wage is livable? Forbid automation?
