So, when someone with knowledge of the fast food industry directly states that robots will be implemented if the minimum wage goes up is somehow misinformed?

you have to be pretty naive to think robots wont be in fast food places either way.

Exactly. His prediction was a pretty low number, only like double current minimum wage. The fact that he made that prediction is very scary. Think of how many things we've seen improve 2x in less than a decade.
