Automation is happening no matter what

Automation is happening no matter what.

Raising minimum wages has no effect on the rate of automation.

Pepsi just had a huge jump in net profits from $5B to $13B, and yet they are spending $2.5B on "relentless automation" their CEO's words.

Let's stop wringing our hands. Raise the minimum wage to $15. Then $20. Then $25.
