Shorty, my bad. I just made an off the cuff assumption that a ton of Americans lived in the top 20 cities. Actually it's only around 10 percent or so, so the number should be one million not one hundred thousand. I made a good faith guess and guessed wrong.
This is the same attitude that cost Democrats the Presidency. They think life in the big city (which has built-in legacy industry) can be extrapolated to rural areas (which have to fight for the economic scraps), and if not, you are an LOL poor.

You seem fond of calling people rednecks. It stems from the above attitude.

. Make a law that says each fast food order must be filled by no less than four people for example. Or have a law like they do (did?) in New Jersey, that you can't pump your own gas, someone has to deo that for you.

Can you imagine how many people would starve to death if that happened? Our society has already devolved into women refusing to cook and undernourished children relying on fast food.
It would hit black people the worst, too. Oh boy, and then crime would go up.
Solid plan, eh?
How about imagining a government-mandated gasoline pumper from being the laziest slug from Obamaland, these days? The whole world would catch on fire.

I guess we're talking about McDonalds' response to this in Seattle now?

I've never called anyone a redneck, I have no idea what you are talking about.

That's what you come back with?!

Shorty, why would I be kidding. I already told you many of these kinds of job savers are in place in many places. People don't want robots taking all the jobs - and I think we should be supporting them.

What do you think will happen to the price of goods and services when you are mandated to employ more people than needed, just Cuz?
A) increase
B) decrease
C) stay the same
D) what goods? They will close.
E) both a and d

It depends on how competitive the industry is. In some cases the company will have to simply accept less profits. Or they will cut elsewhere, no more caviar Christmas parties for the high and mighty at corporate HQ.

Wrong. Try again.
For the sake of arguement, you used fast food as an example. What will happen?
If the 24/7 mcdonalds has to keep at minimum 4 people working the overnight shift when only 2 are needed, will they
A) stop the overnight shift, thus firing workers and cutting back hours
B) raise prices across the board, disproportionately affecting poor and minorities whom eat fast food at a higher rate
C) no change at all
D) prices decrease because "production" increases with the addition of two not needed employees?

Based on your proposed government mandate post, you need to stop posting.
In fact, you need to be wearing a fricking helmet.

For an average LLC, the "accept less profits" means "the owner makes much less." So a small manufacturing company that employs 10 people that loses 33% of the owner's salary to your amazing proposition means he closes his factory and goes to work somewhere else for less headache and more money. Congratulations on closing another business.
The lack of understanding you display on economics is nothing short of breathtaking.

It is simply to tell beenjeep. Each case will be different. In some cases I can see owner having a tough time, but in others business might increase because people will realize the service is quicker. I mean give me a thousand different businesses and you will get a thousand different outcomes.

Economics is all about overall trends. Not individual cases. What would the overall trend be? Keep showing your lack of understanding for basic economic theory. I get a kick out of it.

Making 125 a month less is not small when you made 11 an hour at 40 hrs a week. That's roughly a 7% decline in monthly income and that impacts poor people tremendously
How can you make this connection here but not also when it comes to taxes?

The lol is on the American taxpayer who subsidize low wage employees in the form of benefits. Isn't that funny?
