I'm not after workers' pay.

I'm after your 'package' and your contractually guaranteed returns and your windfalls.

I'm going to reverse a 55 year trend of ever more wealth going to a limited number of people.

I'm going to crack off as much of that as I can and redefine how we play this game for the next round.

Defining this as 'taking money from your employees' is akin IMO to claiming you're replacing unskilled labor in your fast food chain with a robot because the minimum wage went up.

So, when someone with knowledge of the fast food industry directly states that robots will be implemented if the minimum wage goes up is somehow misinformed?
you have to be pretty naive to think robots wont be in fast food places either way.
Exactly. His prediction was a pretty low number, only like double current minimum wage. The fact that he made that prediction is very scary. Think of how many things we've seen improve 2x in less than a decade.
