Andy Puzder understands what almost no liberals have even the slightest clue about: Businesses exist to maximize profit. If an employee enjoys prosperity as a result of providing value to the business and being commensurately rewarded, that's a good thing that makes everyone happy. But the purpose of the business is not to make employees rich just for the sake of it. It's to make the shareholders rich.
So when dopes take to the streets demanding a minimum wage of $15 with their mindless #FightFor15, Puzder understand exactly what that will mean. Minimum wage employees aren't worth $15 an hour, and if that's what they need to be paid, then smart businesses like Hardee's and Carl's Jr. - whose parent company Puzder serves as CEO - will have to start investing in technology to do things like the taking of food orders. He'd rather employee people, but he's not dumb enough to do it if he has to lose money on the employment relationships.
