Automation is a great thing, and if the government allows the minimum wage to go up--oh well.

I had an economics class years ago and the instructor basically said that when the minimum wage is raised up unemployment goes up too....cause the company say it is Mcdonalds for the sake of the story, is only willing to pay $5/hour then when the government says you now have to pay $6/hour then people get laid off. Personally I see both sides of the story.
1. Large and small companies will and do take advantage of low income people quite ruthlessly I might add.

2. Low income people still need to eat/wear clothes/not live in a cardboard box. And be kept out of jail for not stealing.

I remember being a 16 year old kid in 1985 and working at a paint supply store, and I worked my a$$ off for $3.35/hour. I worked there 6 months and when I quit the store manager was super pi$$ed cause he and all the guys there would now have to unload the supply truck by hand again cause I wouldnt be there. It was common for me unload this truck (about 5000 lbs of paint) 5 gallon buckets/ 4 gallon cans in boxes/ 16 gallon drums of solvent--Which is a total 8itch doing this by hand with no hi-lo. I did this every Tuesday after school. I was in the 11th. grade then. (Yes I was taken advantage of and I liked it for 6 months) I left there and went and worked for $4/hour as a house painter.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
