Sure, why not? I mean, a Big Mac will only cost $75.00 but what the hell, >right, Barb?
Hell, why stop there? Why not $500/hour?

and what about all the homeless, or the poor people or those on fixed incomes. If you are working that sort of increase may be able to be
dealt with but for everyone else it's going to be difficult to deal
with because any increase that large has to be passed on to the
customers. Or they just replace everyone with robots now instead of it
taking the 20 to 30 years it's likely to take (yeah, I imagine a lot
of manual labor and minimum wage jobs will be done by robots in the
future.)

One, it isn't the Democratic Party, it's your representative in
California.
Secondly, we also have Trump and the Congress that passed a change in
the tax code that looks like it is forcing companies to now go from
being able to write off the salaries of developers the year it gets
paid, but now they have to write it off over years just like with
physical equipment. Which is a real problem for small companies like startups. At least the big corps usually have enough of bank that they
can afford to write it off over the years.

Read somewhere that the "AI Revolution" will render white-collar
jobs irrelevant, as it's far easier and cheeper to replace a human
in management who generates pointless TPS reports and such
with advanced software, then to replace blue-collar meatbags
like me with what will essentially need to be a C3PO-tier robot,
which will cost shitloads of money and require tons of constant
and expensive maintenance (from blue-collar meatbags like me).
For example, just think about how much goes into something as
simple as setting up your coffee maker and what kinda robot
you'd need for something like that.

Even if true, other than just a spectacular example of whataboutism,
what does any of that have to do with the astounding stupidity of
calling for a $50/hour minimum wage?

Yeah, until they have Terminator-level cyborgs, my previous career is
safe from AI. Someone has to be there to physically take the bullet when
it comes.
