Those were all your potential customers and now some of them will be your financial burden...I find it amusing that some are calling the shrinking of their own market and rise of tax spending a good thing LOL

Americans and a lot of Westerners don't see further than the end of the week.
Automation replacing fast food workers only means those left in work have to pay more in taxes so the unemployed fast food workers can feed, house, clothe themselves. The layer they miss out is working in offices collating how much meat, salad, burgers to buy. That's all done by machine now. As that level is reduced the need for managers is lowered, as that level drops, the level above is reduced. And so on.
The owners of Wendys see no one as safe from being replaced by a machine, except themselves. They also see no location in theWest as safe from being moved top the Third World if it makes them more profit. The only thing they don't want to do is pay enough taxes to support the country they're intent on making poorer.
A lot here complain about the US infrastructure. Solving that problem is simple.
These collect data on lorries travelling on Czech Motorways and a charge is sent to the owner of the vehicle monthly. Do the same with cars and lorries in the US and use the money to repair and build roads.
As tens of millions are replaced by machines, pay more taxes to keep the unemployed from revolting. Also the taxes the unemployed use to pay, has gone. So pay more taxes to replace what they use to contribute.
