Unintended and unexpected are not the same word.
Most, if not all, unintended consequences from socialist "planning" seem to come with the expected consequences.
Most, if not all, unintended consequences are predicted before the "planning" can be implemented.
What's amazing is how many people are still surprised when the Gods of the Copybook Headings, with terror and slaughter, return.
California has become the latest state to notice that upping the minimum wage to a stupidly high level doesn't result in comfortable lifestyles for the people earning that wage.
The best case was inflation eating up all the gains in income, and they are not getting the best case. When the one-time costs of automation are cheaper than the ongoing expenses of keeping an employee, the bot gets the job.
If the cost of employing people makes a business unprofitable, then it closes.
In both cases, the minimum wage worker will be getting the true minimum wage.
