The minimum wage going up has nothing to do with automation taking these jobs away, in the same way self driving cars are taking taxi and fright jobs away regardless of the short term effect on the industry by things like uber.
You also cannot ban automation because on a global market you will be destroyed by the companies in countries using automation.
Also one person used to work and you could own a house and live comfortably as middle class, now you need two people working full time while affording less, this is just a trend continuing on its course, wages haven't kept up with inflation and cost of living, lots of these companies don't give enough hours to provide benefits or pay so little that the employees get government assistance.
I haven't seen a counter argument to raising the minimum wage to even the playing field.
The system we use to distribute money is already broken with a bus full of people having more than half the worlds population combined and hard working people getting poorer and poorer, but now we are reaching a point where it doesn't make sense for people to do jobs we have almost solved to not needing.
