So your idea is to cost them man hours by frustrating annoying, humiliating, or otherwise making uncomfortable someone who is making less than minimum wage?
Your plan is to ask a waitress to give you money while she’s making $4/hr, and has other tables to serve to make tips?
I was being polite before. Your idea is bad. Like really bad.
This punishes the lowest economic level of this power structure for simply trying to earn a living.
It’s the owners of restaurants (barely), the suppliers (kinda), the landlords (mhmm…), the banks (now we’re getting somewhere).
It’s not the servers or cashier’s that need to be doing something different. It’s literally everyone but them.
Yeah. I just take a quick peek at their comment history to see if I should just block them. Works great.
Suddenly nobody remembers anything.
Where are you?
My dad is retired and volunteers at a food bank. They had to cut the number of bags of groceries during the pandemic but it’s since bounced back.
I’m 100% sure this is regional though, so it obvs doesn’t represent your area. Where are you at, roughly?
And is in now way official business…
Thank fuck.
Yep. The only reason these two are candidates is because their names ignite anger, and anger gets people to interact. They sell ad space.
I watched the CNN stream on YouTube and there was no fact checking.
I think the Biden people are we who feel we must vote for him in order to prevent total dictatorship, even though he’s a laughably bad candidate.
Didn’t they say there would be live fact checking?
Sigh.
I didn’t say they were the same. That’s a weird thing to say. I said they were both pathetic.
Because they both are.
No, it’s hard to watch because Biden needs to clear his throat and keeps drifting off.
Trump keeps not answering questions and lying and dodging.
It’s all around pathetic.
Holy shit this is hard to watch.
Bro I’d literally be impressed if we set a 1000x cap.
100x would be a reasonable utopian goal from where we are today.
5x is hard to even fathom. Especially when there exists a ~3x gap in minimum wages across the country.
I propose the minimum wage goes to $250/hr. Maximum wage goes to $2500/hr. You can make between 500k and 5m a year. The only catch is that 60% of it gets taxed up to 1M And 80% gets taxed beyond that. If you somehow do get more that $5M in a year, every dollar after 5M is taxed at a rate of 99.99%.
So you can make 100k - 200k after taxes and be poor.
You can make 200k - 1M after taxes and be the upper middle class.
Musks 46B would be… 5.6M after all taxes applied.
That seems reasonable.
The sexual assault… Didn’t slow down her alcohol consumption??
No shit? What is the point you’re trying to make?
