33.6 per year for obama vs 36.375 per year for w
that's "about the same rate," no?
...so far.The real numbers show Obama uses Executive Orders at a slower rate than any POTUS since Grover Cleveland.

Fox News: [blah blah blah blah]. We need to cut taxes.
Fixed.
Interesting 538 article on the likelihood of minimum wage jobs being replaced by robots.

I think it overstates the need for robots in food service. Right now, there's no reason why I should be able to sit down at a restaurant with a tablet attached to the table that takes me though the basic functions of a waiter. Ordering drinks, a more detailed description of menu items, place order. Of course, a button that would alert somebody to take care of anything that couldn't be handled on the tablet. After the meal, go back to the tablet and order coffee and dessert or get the bill. Heck, swipe the card at the table and go.
I went to a restaurant recently that had replaced all their paper menus with iPads at each table. It had all you are describing, but we still had a waiter who came by to show us how to find everything on there (which was probably more helpful for the old people), and we still placed the order with her.

When the minimum wage was raised in the past did it put more people on the dole? (honest question)
How do the minimum wage levels compare today to the minimum wage levels (adjusted) under Nixon? Reagan? Other periods of prosperity? periods of recession? wrt to prices/inflation?
The arguments to leave the minimum wage alone seem to be based on speculation, predictions, and theories. What does the historical record show?
I have similar questions.
