and honestly that's a good thing.

People need to get Athusser pilled. Universities aren't "public goods", they are ideological state apparatuses. The harm they cause (the imperialist collaborationism, the above average incidents of sexual assault andremoved, the mental health epidemic they create on campus that lingers in their victims post graduation, the destruction they do to their host city's economies and housing markets) is not incidental to the workings o the university but instrumental to its operations.

Let them die, let them die, let them shrivel up and die.

I'm personally subtweeting a particular post on here already but there are at least 3 different users I've seen posting stuff that is beyond the usual critique of YPG-American working relationship (which is a fair critique that has evidently hurt the revolution).

yeah we literally have evidence now that assad rejected working with the kurds to resolve the civil war because he thought he could sell his country out to the UAE so he could continue to be racist against the kurds.

this was more excusable before we had that article revealing this but anyone still parroting assadist talking points is just being willingly ignorant.

Does Mr beast do his charity through a non-profit or through his youtube buisness?

If it's the latter than my hot take is that this would make him morally superior to 99% of philanthropy that has existed in the contemporary era since write offs for business' expenses aren't nearly as generous as the write offs for NGO based charity.

My hot take here is that both Hbomber and this guy are people who are too anti-social to have jobs and who are trying to be content grifters and at the end of the day adding plagiarism to it only makes him 10% worse.

hbomber being mad at somerton is like when the democrats were doing a "how dare you sir" about the children in cages during the trump presidency.

Agreed, pooling tips should be legally required accross the board

"Kulaks are people who make my treats more expensive so they can afford to live above subsistence levels"

Yes, the workers are wrong.

This is a better way to do it. Unfortunately, many waiters really do come out ahead with tipping, especially those working at higher end restaurants, conventionally attractive by euro standards, or just really good people skills, so they argue tipping is good actually. It benefits some individually, but collectively a lot do not end up with more money this way. So yes, alot of waiters start off making less money. The current system while deeply flawed allows people to have careers in waiting where they can start making pretty low wages to making above middle income money. If they work into bar tending then they can make up to 80 an hour on a good day.

Such career tracks are things you see in logistics and trades. If you want to make a career here you can, the difference being that it offers income mobility without getting a degree making it a far more egalitarian field than most since the "meritocratic" career paths since college overwhelmingly fails poor people, people of color and first generation college students. If it doesn't fail them then they'll likely end up underemployed, unemployed out of their field or in so much debt that they might as well be in fast food.

It’s part of the whole pull yourself up by your bootstraps ideology - yes you theoretically could do better with tipping, but how many do, compared with the many who don’t? But of course restaurantbusinessonline would prefer business owners still be paying less than minimum wage, so they find those workers whose interests for whatever reason line up with theirs.

the real solution then isn't abolishing tipping, its abolishing the tipped wage and retaining tipping

Yep which is a good thing. People pretend to hate tipping because of some foo pro-worker stance but it's really because middle income people can't stand the idea of unskilled labor making more than them and having to pay extra for their treats

Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.

This is cunsoomer propoganda. The tipped wage allows unskilled workers to acheive the heights of middle income without getting college degrees and gives them a career path in retail, plus it makes excel spreadsheet workers and boomers pay extra.

You can make the arguement that "well actually that 20% should me baked into the price and that should go to the worker". Which is possibly the most delusional arguement a person could possible make. How many times have companies raised prices on their goods 20% due to increasing labor costs and how many of those companies actually have given that full amount to workers? Approximately 0.

If you abolished tipped wages tommorow and told bosses to raise prices to compensate they'd turn their workers into fast food workers and pocket the extra 20%. That's the fate of all non-tipped work.

If abolishing tipped labor for resturants was so good for workers then ask yourselves why all the fast food resturants with much higher profit margins and much leaner workforces get paid way, waaaaaay less than waiters.

The real communist politic is to keep the tip and abolish the tipped wage. If that makes restaurants more expensive than good, if a service can't be provided without poverty wages than it shouldn't exist.

yeah this is it, the local dsa has been sucessful organizing a tenant union in my metro area and ive never considered joining because ive only rented from small landlords. renting from a small landlord kinda precludes any sort of mass tenant organizing

Eh, to be honest I think part of the reason why the NHS looks better is because while american healthcare sucks and is too expensive, you brits have never experianced it in comparison to your own.

I watched philosophy tube's video about the NHS and honestly it seems like the NHS is a government agency dedicated to wasting tens of billions of dollars to maintain the appearance of healthcare so people can feel good about themselves until they actually need it. I for one prefer to know that at least while I might be financially ruined at a hospital or receiving gender affirming care, at least I can get it.

I mean let's be honest a ceasefire is just a good demand tactically. The 2014 BLM movement shot itself in the foot by demanding police abolition since that's just not a policy that can be enacted. Unrealistic demands just stifle movements and lead to burn out.
