░░░░░░░░ opposite of the employment ░░░░░░░░ across the rest of ░░░░░░░░ country I said this ░░░░░░░░ Covid when they were ░░░░░░░░ 15 minimum wage and ░░░░░░░░ Covid when wages did ░░░░░░░░ up because we saw ░░░░░░░░ massive inflation the price ░░░░░░░░ your big mac meal ░░░░░░░░ an average person can ░░░░░░░░ for lunches 15 but ░░░░░░░░ are making 15 an ░░░░░░░░ you defeat the purpose ░░░░░░░░ the higher wage California ░░░░░░░░ this to the next ░░░░░░░░ to the point where ░░░░░░░░ had to lay people ░░░░░░░░ Lou we knew what ░░░░░░░░ going to happen but ░░░░░░░░ went forward with it ░░░░░░░░ is a math problem ░░░░░░░░ can be easily solved ░░░░░░░░ you put into place ░░░░░░░░ really bad policy Beyond ░░░░░░░░ to lay people off ░░░░░░░░ fleece states that require ░░░░░░░░ minimum wage We need ░░░░░░░░ it is the minimum ░░░░░░░░ not supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ living wage we need ░░░░░░░░ provide a pathway training ░░░░░░░░ to get people from ░░░░░░░░ jobs to the next ░░░░░░░░ higher wages not force ░░░░░░░░ bottom up and force ░░░░░░░░ to bear the brunt ░░░░░░░░ they can t Taylor ░░░░░░░░ want you to stay ░░░░░░░░ California Weather to north ░░░░░░░░ Gerri you see so ░░░░░░░░ business move south to ░░░░░░░░ Florida take off North ░░░░░░░░ South Carolina Georgia these ░░░░░░░░ have lower costs of ░░░░░░░░ and are popular with ░░░░░░░░ and there s a ░░░░░░░░ for it I see ░░░░░░░░ trend continuing and not ░░░░░░░░ away Brian the minimum ░░░░░░░░ crowd has this weird ░░░░░░░░ of always wanting to ░░░░░░░░ the stick of the ░░░░░░░░ wage to bring people ░░░░░░░░ pay up and they ░░░░░░░░ seem to be the ░░░░░░░░ cognizant people that there ░░░░░░░░ other ways to get ░░░░░░░░ work done if you ░░░░░░░░ a business into a ░░░░░░░░ It is like you ░░░░░░░░ about AI every day ░░░░░░░░ about technology every day ░░░░░░░░ refused to accept that ░░░░░░░░ you price out business ░░░░░░░░ will higher technology That ░░░░░░░░ what happens Some of ░░░░░░░░ there may be restaurant ░░░░░░░░ in California but they ░░░░░░░░ see this everywhere kiosks ░░░░░░░░ you ve done you ░░░░░░░░ raise the minimum wage ░░░░░░░░ put people out of ░░░░░░░░ or you can support ░░░░░░░░ policies and give businesses ░░░░░░░░ incentive that is sustainable ░░░░░░░░ hire new workers and ░░░░░░░░ them up but the ░░░░░░░░ loves coercion more than ░░░░░░░░ love the outcome they ░░░░░░░░ seeking which is a ░░░░░░░░ life Jackie you still ░░░░░░░░ a human to fix ░░░░░░░░ kiosks but there s ░░░░░░░░ one human and 50 ░░░░░░░░ and self checkout you ░░░░░░░░ need a human being ░░░░░░░░ and this brings us ░░░░░░░░ to the issue AI ░░░░░░░░ Charles Payne what you ░░░░░░░░ do how much more ░░░░░░░░ how it can get ░░░░░░░░ of jobs and save ░░░░░░░░ money but at the ░░░░░░░░ time you cannot replace ░░░░░░░░ Even in the most ░░░░░░░░ ways Lou imagine a ░░░░░░░░ who says pay me ░░░░░░░░ or I will pass ░░░░░░░░ lie instead of saying ░░░░░░░░ want to work harder ░░░░░░░░ want to learn more ░░░░░░░░ want to elevate my ░░░░░░░░ and pay me more ░░░░░░░░ a result the truth ░░░░░░░░ the average wage in ░░░░░░░░ is 32 an hour ░░░░░░░░ folks earning money 32 ░░░░░░░░ hour because they started ░░░░░░░░ as we all do ░░░░░░░░ up in a fast ░░░░░░░░ job for a couple ░░░░░░░░ learn those skills and ░░░░░░░░ on Jackie not sure ░░░░░░░░ Kamala did or didn ░░░░░░░░ Lou McDonald s one ░░░░░░░░ know Brian of the ░░░░░░░░ not working I agree ░░░░░░░░ you but the bigger ░░░░░░░░ for Democrats is the ░░░░░░░░ doer they work really ░░░░░░░░ and not just kiosks ░░░░░░░░ in an Amazon warehouse ░░░░░░░░ is there are people ░░░░░░░░ to complain the technologies ░░░░░░░░ putting humans out of ░░░░░░░░ but there s nobody ░░░░░░░░ is better at putting ░░░░░░░░ out of work then ░░░░░░░░ in government Lou in ░░░░░░░░ Korea every restaurant had ░░░░░░░░ they were replacing workers ░░░░░░░░ decade ago this is ░░░░░░░░ willful decision in the ░░░░░░░░ States to keep employing ░░░░░░░░ over technology it s ░░░░░░░░ technology s fault If ░░░░░░░░ lose your job it ░░░░░░░░ not to AI but ░░░░░░░░ don t know how ░░░░░░░░ use AI Is our ░░░░░░░░ to teach the tools ░░░░░░░░ technology When I walk ░░░░░░░░ a McDonald s or ░░░░░░░░ s or Walmart I ░░░░░░░░ about my mom who ░░░░░░░░ me and my sister ░░░░░░░░ she was a cashier ░░░░░░░░ my dad she wouldn ░░░░░░░░ have had that job ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t have been ░░░░░░░░ to support us as ░░░░░░░░ family so that the ░░░░░░░░ folks have to make ░░░░░░░░ the free market is ░░░░░░░░ to make the decision ░░░░░░░░ its own volition Soviet ░░░░░░░░ Zohran Mamdani
