Inode, > When Walmart invests in new technologies, they do it because it will save them money and allow them to reduce prices, NOT so they can fork over more money to their unskilled labor force.

Well, they are also free to pay more for unskilled labor ... if they have to.

SilentZ and other liberals despise the fact that Wal-mart doesn't have to, so they'll force them to by raising the minimum wage. Too bad they'll run all of Wal-mart's smaller competitors out of business, but hey, businesses that don't pay a "living wage" shouldn't exist, AMIRITE?

" It is the addition of new technologies and the willingness of customers to tolerate lousy (or at least, lesser) service which is making these employees "more productive"."

Well, duh. How do you think that technology increases productivity? By magic?

And you claim to understand economics, yet struggle with some of the most basic concepts...
