Wages: On Monday, CaliBurger started its newest "employee," a learning robot that can cook 150 hamburgers an hour. Flippy doesn't just flip hamburgers, he exposes why raising the minimum-wage hurts workers.

Flippy, built my Miso Robotics, uses thermal imaging to tell it precisely when to flip each patty, allowing for more or less perfect consistency. And it supposedly will get smarter the more burgers it flips, and various attachments will eventually let it handle other aspects of the burger-making process.

The fact that CaliBurger decided to use its Pasadena, Calif., restaurant to launch Flippy is instructive.

In less than three months, Pasadena's minimum wage will climb to $12 an hour for those with 25 or fewer employees, and $13.25 for those with 26 or more. Those are higher than California's current state minimum wage, which is also climbing and will hit $15 by 2022.
