  • Honestly if you think about it. The cost of your meal going up and the cost of tipping are not different in their end result for the consumer.

    The employee still gets the short end because people won’t always tip. Or even show up.

    The owner gets the long (?) end because they don’t have to pay their workers a higher wage (very bad if it’s a slow day) and the customers who otherwise wouldn’t have eaten there if the prices were high will still eat there and not tip.

    So it really doesn’t effect the consumer at all but it does effect the employee quite a bit for sure.






  • The US is at least 40 years removed from any kind of real electronics manufacturing at scale.

    This kind of thing takes generational knowledge to get right and we outsourced that knowledge a long time ago.

    We are now several generations from being able to manufacture electronics on the level.

    Either trump has no idea how anything works or he’s actively trying to destroy the American economy.
