      I'm mostly just laughing at the notion of "being obligated by the government to show up on time to dinner" as some death knell to American freedom to leave other people waiting.

          Yep. It's like when you guys joke about being paid Soros Bucks for posting, when really, it's just me getting paid in Juche Credit Score by Glorious Leader Kim.

        Every restaurant in China has a CCP commissar standing next to the host, if you're late they make sure to personally inform Xi, and if the host doesn't have a table ready for you they're summarily executed and the most senior waiter becomes the host

          You left out the part about how they're executed. President Xi sends them to Glorious Leader Kim, who makes them stand on the train tracks to wait for when all the slaves pull the train over them because they haven't invented coal yet.

        oh duh, just become a playground for the capitalist class! I can't believe that Palestinians are so obsessed with "national sovereignty" and "the right of return" and "food" that they never thought of that one!

    Based, people should go to jail for being late to social events with no notifications (this is only 80% sarcastic).

      China has Schrodinger's communism, it exists in a state of both being capitalist and communist at the same time. For reasons unknown to science, within restaurants the uncertainty levels tilt ever so slightly towards capitalism in China.

    People who are late because of their own incompetence (instead of outside factors) should have their social credit score dinged
