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.

Also gotta say this ignores estate sales which allow people to get urniture and household items for 1/10th or less o the price that would otherwise end up in a landill. i go to estate sales like once a month and alot more people could use that option i they had access to more storage in their car.

yeah i also did grocery delivery years ago and like most people didn't tip for the back breaking labor i did but the ones who did took my shitty 12$ an hour wage and made it into 16 dollars an hour which back in 2018 was approaching a living wage and really helped me have some quality of life.

tipping matters, it should be mandatory, if you don't do it you should be sent to the treat gulag

I did some food delivery stuff last year. The driver got no more than $3 for that delivery. It is way way below minimum wage. The tips are the only compensation for most drivers. I hardly ever order from those apps anymore, but when I do I'll leave at least $10.

Honestly im at the age where I'm responsible for getting people gifts now and I've solved this with estate sales. I recommend giving them a try

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 the local mainline protestant churches are actually not only helpful to the poor but allies with local organizing. under the dicprole it'd probably be more productive to expropriate evangelical churches and give them to mainline protestants than it would be to outright ban protestantism.

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.

If you are gonna look at anti-civ theory than Cammate and Desert are the only way to go. That being said, I strongly recommend you don't. Their arguements might be better but why on earth would you bother studying the most misanthropic ideology to ever exist even surpassing fascism.

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.

Complete nonsense.

As we all know, many idol-worshiping peoples have encountered gnomes and through worshiping and offering tribute to these gnomes, these gnomes become the hosts for powerful dark gods who reward their followers generously but are known to be fickle and demanding.

Silicon Valley is infamous for it's bizzare polycules and their ottoman haramesque power struggles. Somehow, Sam Altman offended Aella_Girl's polycule who happened to control the board of open AI.

Aella_girl is openly in sexual concourse with a series of garden gnomes who she likely worships and has married as it is known that gnomes usually demand a wife or your first born child.

Proof: https://cashmeremag.com/reddit-gonewild-aella-gnome-cam-53817/

She likely used the powers of this dark god to remove Sam Altman from the board but likely failed to meet it's escalating demands or otherwise disappointed this entity and as a result failed to remove him. It is known that when disappoints a gnome or stops worshiping it that one's fortunes will fall into a rapid decline so if this happens to her then we know what likely happened. Either that or Sam Altman is also in contact with a dark entity of some sort.

honestly the latter, pop culture has sucked ever since they stopped letting bands into the music industry and the streaming economy killed netflix. literally no reason to keep up with it any more

The depressing thing is that if this does what it says it does then this is actually a really good deal. If this was being offered locally I'd probably get it tbh

glad yr doing this, i should get back itno ska since i used to have cringy ska tastes and should get good ones now
