Good morning, everyone, im scott mcgrew. I saw a billboard recently that absolutely stopped me cold because its message was so spot on. Here it is San Francisco, meet your minimum wage replacement, an ipad. Hello, may i take your order, it says. It was placed there by a think tank that opposed the citys move to raise the minimum wage to 15 an hour. Though thats exactly what the city did. And i tracked down the fella behind that billboard. Hes Michael Saltsman of the employeement Institute Based in washington, d. C. And funded by big business. Now, i suspect michael and i disagree on a whole host of opinions, but not on this because this is not opinion, its fact. The fact is technology is quickly replacing workers. Not just in factories. We knew that but especially in entrylevel, lowskilled jobs. There are no toll takers on the Golden Gate Bridge theyve been replaced by fast track. Grocery store Self Checkout nothing new, and restaurants like chiles now take orders via tablet. Mcdonalds
