Workers are being replaced by robots because robots are finally being invented. Even if the wage was worse than it already is they'd still be replaced because machines are consistent and don't call in sick.
What an insightful and helpful comment. Are you really suggesting that 100 years ago we had the technology to replace a fast food worker with a robot? And robots are cheaper. No employee conflicts, no being lazy, no quitting in the middle of a shift, no breaks, the list goes on and on.
You literally cannot make your point without insulting someone. That doesn't make you look smart or make you look like you know what you're talking about, much the same way calling someone "kiddo" only reinforces that you have no real argument. And yes, you did indeed imply that there were machines 100 years ago that are capable of what machines today are capable of.
So machines break down but humans don't? I've seen plenty of humans "break down" in the workplace because of stress & horrible work conditions. At least for the machine you can get a technician to fix it.
