B does not follow from A. Supermarkets did self checkout without any appreciable minimum wage pressures in the US. There is no evidence they won&#x27;t do them, and no appreciable reason to think there&#x27;s a floor on the price they can be implemented.<p>Which leaves us with a minimum wage in many areas which does not actually allow someone to survive, and a growing population who will end up on welfare anyway regardless (who usually are on welfare anyway because oh look Walmart&#x27;s HR practices).
