The tipped wage allows unskilled workers
It allows conventionally attractive young white unskilled workers in dense enough areas to do that.
It really just depends on where you work and your demographics.
Young black male in rural city? Lol you're fucked. Attractive young white woman in dense urban center at trendy expensive restaurant? Absolutely crazy amounts of money.
I've known people who graduate, get a job in the field they wanted and then quit and went back to serving because they fell into the right demos and location.
The tipping floor is the lowest it can possibly be but the ceiling is extremely high. And it's largely based off unfair reasons.
Lol what the fuck is that petition, there is no way 4.5k people work at Casa Bonita who would be affected by it when they don't even have 350 staff.
That means at least some part of the signatures are not employees but outsiders trying to speak for the employees.
Which also means that they might not even represent many employees to begin with! For all we know 99% of workers don't want to go back to tipping.
And going off the line at the bottom (although it is quite possible they are lying, management does lie often), it seems like that could potentially be the case. After all the article only identified two people who were upset.
Of 256 employees, 93 were a part of the shift and only two said they were unhappy about it, management said at the time.
The petition claims to have more than this but it also claims to have almost 5k signed on so it's pretty unreasonable.
These practices include such offenses as fertilizing garlic with human feces and forms of sewage, growing garlic in sewage
From https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/you-asked/it-true-garlic-china-grown-human-feces-and-watered-urine
there is no evidence that garlic in China is fertilized in this fashion. In any case, there is no problem with this, human waste is as effective a fertilizer as is animal waste. Spreading human sewage on fields that grow crops doesn't sound appealing, but it is safer than you might think.
That would be my guess too at first glance. What do they think manure is if they're grossed out at sewage? As long as it's treated properly to reduce pathogens then it's just "ew yucky I don't like the real world".
Yeah I always do that if I don't know and can't reasonably ask them at the moment.
The idea that Mao had regressive views on women should not be shocking in the slightest. Modern women's rights are really really recent developments across the world.
One shocking fact I like to bring up is that women weren't even allowed to own their bank accounts till like the 70s/80s. My mom brings that one up when talking about how much things have changed since her childhood.
But it's also not particularly relevant. People don't listen to Mao for his views on women's rights. It's the same way we don't dismiss electricity just because the society back then owned slaves.
One lesser spoken about part of short term capitalistic pressures, how successful and delicious recipes will inevitably get destroyed in pursuit of cost cutting until the product fails to sell anymore.
It's an opinion article, those always have takes that are much different then the mainstream. For better (like the one here) or for worse (pretty much all of NYTs).
“It’s not only a long-standing moral commitment; it’s a strategic commitment,” then-Vice President Biden said in 2013. “An independent Israel, secure in its own borders, recognized by the world is in the practical strategic interest of the United States of America. I used to say … if there were no Israel, we’d have to invent one.”
The thing about Ughyurs is that there might be cultural repression that goes on in the area. There might even be instances of abuse and violence, one of the issues with even the best theoritical bureaucracies is that you still have to delegate tasks out and have some trust it won't be misused. There might be examples of low level officials who harassed a Ughyur family unfairly or put someone in remediation who wasn't an issue. It's more about the systems and overarching structure of the program that matters more.
This is the same logic we should be using with any nation realistically. And from what we see of Xianjang, there doesn't seem to be much actual strong evidence of systemic abuse. We don't see systemic evidence provided by the west, we don't see it in reactions by nearby nations, we don't see it by the actions of these supposed victims. So where is it beyond a bunch of claims?
No I'm sure it totally happens. Antisemitism is a very real issue. Fash doesn't go away just because they have a cover for it, it's just good to not be stupid and dismiss the cover as being fash like Israel tries to do. It's a cover because it's not bad to do.
There's a fun irony where when it comes to bigotry and racism it just "needs to be exposed to sunlight" and the "the free marketplace of ideas" but leftist ideas are brainwashing that need censoring.
Huh, I wonder why those double standards exist 
You can tell how bad this guy's discourse is because he has to use the term "cultural appropriation" and not just the much better fitting "appropriation" on its own because he doesn't understand what the words actually mean.
Carnist Catch 22, if it hits the beans then they'll be destroyed and you'll have to eat the pig to survive.
Yeah he's rich as fuck but he's not a trillionaire
Weirdly enough I liked having the one on one aide. I was basically out of the running for friends in most of my classes anyway so having someone on my side that I could talk to and an adult that was basically guaranteed to step in when I was bullied was a positive IMO. A lot of special ed classes can get fucked though, disrespectful and treat you like an idiot who can't even remember your own name.
Honestly 7% is higher than I would have expected, nearly a 1/10 chance if you picked someone at random.
Anyone shocked by Hamas having stockpiles of resources is genuinely dumb af. Of course you have resources saved up when your opponents are constantly trying to target and cut off your supply lines. What the fuck do you expect them to do, use all their fuel and not be able to fight back?
Glad for them, the western efforts to sanction and blockade Ughyur trade was going to harm all the people there (as sanctions are basically always guaranteed to do). The West is well aware of this of course, this is why they use sanctions to "punish" opposition so it's sure strange they're willing to use that tool against the people they claim are being genocided.
Also the internet throws a lot of our traditional understandings of culture out the window. A 20 year old and a 40 year old might not have had as much reason to hang out before (although things like sports and hobbies did pull age groups together some) but now they're all playing against each other in the new Call of Duty, sharing memes about Among Us, laughing about how they're too old for the Skibidi Toilet and arguing on Twitter.com
There's lots of injokes and references and slang that I don't understand not because of my age, but because I don't watch Streamer X or play Y game or have Z streaming service. And yet plenty of people younger, my age, and older will get those references because they do. Meanwhile the opposite is true, I've played some online games from my childhood with kids who weren't even alive when the game came out! It was kinda shocking really.
