Momentum introduced their Amazing Automatic Burger Machine^TM two years ago, you would think there’d be a model in production somewhere in the world, like in Japan, but in fact it IS NOT COST EFFECTIVE.

Yeah, but in their fantasy world, the only reason those machines aren’t being widely used is because wages are low enough to make humans cost effective. And that if wages go up even a fraction of a percent, then that line will be crossed and these machines will be quickly adopted.

The reality is that, if such work is going to be mechanized, it’s a matter of “when” and not “if.” The company that is right now paying slave wages and still bitching about sales is not going to pass up the opportunity the day these machines become cheaper than humans to grab them up.
