  • The real fix is that nobody shows up to do the job that doesn’t get paid by the employer or tipped by the customer. Force the worker to do something else and suddenly wages increase due to worker scarcity.

    Garbage truck drivers don’t make good money out of the kindness of Waste Management’s heart. Nobody wants to do that job so the price for the employee goes up.

    Americans are just too stupid to realize that when a customer doesn’t tip, it’s not the customers fault the employee isn’t getting paid. I wish the country would wake up already.


  • Nobody gets offended by tips here because if you’re working for tips you are poor.

    It’s pretty awful that all of the service people make shit wage, but if they’d just band together and unionize things would get better. Assholes in corporate America can’t show up without a good haircut. Barbers should strike for a month and see what that does to their wages.

    Alas, poor people can’t strike. That’s exactly how the ruling class wants it. If you can’t miss a meal today, you’re not planning on better meals next week.







  • I use Narwhal 2 for now. $5 a month is a small price to pay for the largest aggregation of information outside of Wikipedia.

    Once they force the proprietary app on me I’ll likely be out. It’s a bloated cartoonish app.

    I like Lemmy a lot but like people are saying it needs more users. I try and post my own content to practice what I preach.
