The goal is to encourage fast food chains to rapidly acquire robots.
Mom and pop restaurants won't be able to compete by staffing at $20/hr. They are having real difficulty now.
By limiting human interactions, the consumer is demoralized by realizing that they are no longer fit to be in society--they simply can't afford to have human interactions.
The same will happen to health care. Lower tier persons will have to interact with AI programs and robots first.
People will seek human interactions but will have to settle for AI humanoids on their screens.
The positive returns on AI interactions diminishes with time. It's like playing the same video game over and over again, forever.
I'm reminded of that scene in "Elysium" where Matt Damon has to go talk to the HR robot or whatever it is. When he gets upset, the robot says, "Take these pills." When he doesn't want to take the pills the robot says, "Do I have to call the robot cops?"
I don't care what job it is, if somebody works a full work week, they should be able to have a full life. Car, housing, food, vacation, extra money, etc..
The right and the left will have to come together and regulate the autonomous worker problem we all will be facing relatively soon.
IDK if you'd be interested in this, but the whole issue has to be reframed because a deeper scam is at work (which of course will never be discussed by anyone in the mainstream, ever).
Starting in the early 1970's, productivity became disconnected from real wages, whereas they had--through the various mechanisms of free-market forces--always been highly correlated before.
The difference over the last 50 years is about 2.5x. That is, if you make $100k/year doing whatever, it would and should have been $250k. That's a real difference in lifestyle.
And the federal minimum wage at $7.25 would have naturally become just over $18/hr by now. Really, though, if "minimum wage"-type jobs ordinarily paid that much, the whole concept would have been abandoned.
But you see how deep the scam is? They've got people in the streets to "Fight for 15!" Fifteen? You can see now that 15 itself is a ripoff. People just have no idea--literally--how bad it really is.
A pretty good writeup detailing the "organized crime" against us is here:
Well, in California they're going to have to pay this robot $20/hour.
Let it never be said that progressivism cannot solve every problem!
I think therefore I am entitled to a raise
Whoa, whoa, whoa! The State of CA arranged for that golden deal and now it can't wet it's beak? What sort of gratitude is that?
I'd say $12 has got to go to Big Daddy right off the top, then we can talk about the rest.
Owners you say? Hmm...I see reparations in the future of this machine.

A Look at the Dramatic Disconnect Between Productivity and Wages, and Now the Worm Turns (Winter Watch 3/22/2022)
It is nothing short of diabolical: the shrinkflation of your dreams.
I don't know why a 16 year old would be working 40 hours a week, but if they are, yes, of course they should be able to afford all that.
