Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Outrage after airport self-service checkout asks for 18% tipbyMetype @pawb.socialEnglish
11 daysThe reason I tip at sit down places or delivery isn’t because the work the server is doing is so difficult. Its because they’re allowed to legally be paid next to nothing due to the expectation of tips. I have close friends who work in that industry who wouldn’t get by if not for tips. We should abolish the idea of tipping as an excuse to lower wages, its ridiculous.

Yeah, when arguing for Harris in spite of her serious flaws, it was because our system is broken. Same with Talarico; the only non-overthrowy options right are the fascist and the less fascist in a position of power. You can critique candidates yes, but arguing vehemently against them in this way, giving no room for disagreement on stances, it undermines the effort to do better.
Not voting for Harris out of moral purity, or because someone was making these kinds of arguments and swayed a reader, is something I believe helped get Trump the presidency, and that’s been such a devastatingly destructive outcome for everyone. Discouraging voting for Talarico helps Paxton win, something you should do everything to prevent if your beliefs are what you say they are.
I’m also a trans person btw <3
