If they pay just enough, with tips, then what is it without tips? Not enough. Statistically, more people would move to another just that put y back into ‘just enough’ category.

I don’t see that as 180 at all.

But if everyone did it, people wouldn’t be able to afford to work there. There would be no staff and the business would be forced to increase their pay to retain labour, or shut their doors.

Edit for typos.

Oh, you mean doing the job they agreed to do for an hourly rate? Why am i subsidizing the corporation not paying them fairly?

So cute!

What issues with minimum wage, other than the capitalists who are desperate to keep their costs down from crying wolf about inflation?

I'm still waiting for anyone to show data that raising the minimum wages leads to higher inflation. Should be pretty easy to show looking at the minimum wages across countries over the last 25-50 years, while also looking at the inflation rates over that same period.

As far as governments not raising the minimums, that is the result of poor policy when they were implemented, to not tie the minimum wage to inflation in the first place. People are more aware of that issue now, so hopefully that mistake wouldn't be implemented.

I don't really expect UBI to be implemented on a larger scale because the people who buy the laws won't allow it.

Having the mass majority of the population trapped in jobs that pay just enough that they put up with it, while giving away all their time and energy to a corporation is exactly why the average person has no power. They’ve had the will drive to force real change sucked out of them.

UBI is a mechanism that can help them take back their time and energy to affect real change.

Seems good. Until you realize they just shifted to ‘Natural Gas’. Aka liquid methane, which in the short term traps heat 80 times worse than CO2 for about 20 years.

Those wasn’t a move to help the environment, just to make to oil barons richer.

I can’t control how other people vote, but the party’s can. That’s their job.

I knew the DNC fucked up when they tanked Bernie’s run.
And look what we got.

It doesn’t have to all be bad. If the city could get the head out of their ass, they could sort out the codes and get it done. Let people who work downtown live downtown. Shrink the driving and parking infrastructure, turn it into a walkable, bikeable area.

Rents/leases could go way down for the mom and pop shops that can survive in the new design.

Other businesses can move further out where the people are, so the suburbs can become more walkable.

If we made the focus on reducing waste, and making things easy for everyone, rather than how to make rich people richer, theres lots of solutions.

It does add context though.

If I just said “it adds context”, it’s not seen as a counterclaim to your claim. It’s just a new standalone statement.

Depending on where you live, how has home insurance gone in the last 10 years? Trust the money.

Who would have guessed that cutting costs and red tape when it comes to public health and safety would result in unhealthy and unsafe conditions.
