Because it isn’t defunct. It is the biggest source of knowledge that is the modern equivalent of the Library of Alexandria. So it is clear you need to read up on it.

It is clear you haven’t used it for years if you think it is incomplete or heavily biased.

And why do you think that is?

Because right-wingers can’t handle reality. So they have to come up with “alt-facts” to keep their worldview from collapsing.

To right-wing extremists, everything in the world seems left wing.

Putin has nothing to demand of NATO. It was specifically created to counter the expansionism of countries like Russia.

It will never get dissolved as long as those kinds of countries still exist.

It gets rid of all dreams it seems.

It won’t make the server go hungry. It will force them to look for a different job.

So then nobody wants to serve anymore and restaurants will be forced to fix the broken system.

No tipping anywhere, especially in the US.

Who still believes the US is a developed nation anymore?

Why would I want to keep a horrific system in place?

I don’t tip, so the employees can complain to their employer until they change it.

Your entire argument.

It is just capitalists owner bullshit where they want to shift the blame of their employees wages onto the customers instead of onto themselves who control it.

It doesn’t matter that it varies per state.

The shop inside a state doesn’t move, so their taxes stay exactly the same.

And tipping is bullshit too. Because it comes with a lot of stigma when the server is dependent on it to survive. A standard 20% increase will put the pressure on the employer when they want a raise, instead of the customers.

If none of them want it, they shouldn’t complain when someone doesn’t pay any tips.

So we can just not tip right? Because its just tipping and we should relax.

How would a customer know that the employees aren’t being paid a living wage? The tip happens after the meal.

Their labour should be paid for by their employer, not the customers.

The only assholes here are the employers and the people who defend them.

It is literally the exact same price.

They don’t do it because then they have to pay taxes on those tips

Nah, change the bill to 0$ and give them a tip equal to the original cost of the bill.

Then tell them the service was great but the food wasn’t.

What country are you speaking of?

In Belgium, you pay over the internet before the order is placed. There isn’t a way to tip unless you throw some coins when they deliver it. Which nobody does.

Delivery drivers get paid by the company, not the customers.
