60% of fast food workers are age 16-24. 2/3s are part time and most are the third and fourth earners in their household.

I said this in the other thread but if robots took all our jobs (and the jobs of repairing and maintaining them) then production costs would go to practically zero and scarcity we have now would disappear.

would poverty disappear?

theoretically if you got rid of material scarcity there would be a shortage of almost nothing. There are exceptions like obviously there is only so much gold or oil on the earth but most things would be in abundance.
the only barrier to producing more of something would be getting more robots
this should bring up what your wages would be able to buy because costs have dropped and supply is abundant.
prices would collapse

Poverty as we know it today would disappear.
The only upside to this is you'll get your order verbatim
Why do yall let people get away with these types of threads? I'm kinda disappointed. 
You really think this machine was invented because some fast food workers are making $9/hr instead of $8/hr? You really think the invention of this machine has anything to do with protesters or what the current minimum wage is? You really think the company would just say "oh, nevermind" and take the machine off the market if the protesters all went home or if there was no minimum wage? You really think somebody wasn't bound to invent a Burger Robot sooner or later regardless? You really think startups wouldn't still be trying to automate fast food jobs if minimum wage was $5/hr?
Yall gotta stop automatically accepting the premise when people make these types of threads. The article is just taking something that would happen regardless (job automation) and pretending that it has something to do with minimum wage (or protesters) for the sake of promoting a certain political ideology and calling protesters "stupid".

That's what they said in Cuba breh. The only thing happening would be the rich getting richer, you would have women lining up to suck some Illuminati dude's d*ck for a loaf of bread 
In the next 15-25 years cheap manual labor in developed countries will be phased out with robots. It's only gonna make sense in places like East Timor or Bolivia to use manual labor. It's about to be a whole lot more poor people, get your certs up

I'm not disappointed but I am interested in how you would have framed it.
