Cmon dude. All these people are saying we don’t need these laws because waiters can just quit to pressure businesses to pay them well. So why do these laws even exist? You didnt even respond to the last post. I wont hold my breath.

Businesses that don’t have convoluted pay schemes that involve tips will die, and businesses that advertise tipping isn’t a thing will thrive, like has happened many times in the past.

You know what doesn’t change anything? Forcing the people stuck in the system to get more stuck in the system…

That’s just antisemitism /s

Yeah lets ignore all of history and just invent stuff about “free markets”. All this and you haven’t addressed why we bother with minimum wage at all if this was true. Or why we bother with OSHA if construction workers would just pressure companies to change.

You know when the ad for your phone bill says “no hidden fees” ? They know that’s what people cared about, and they changed it. Now it’s just commonplace even when it’s not regulated. Shoving this on the worker makes no sense, the employer has the leverage

He is the one to blame lol, we all agree.

When you go to the restaurant, pay the food (owner) but not the waiter, you are playing right into the owners game (who is to blame).

So congrats on supporting the assholes creating this economic problem (they can’t run a profitable business). Next youre going to tell me human traffickers are the assholes buuut people should just stopped getting trafficked and leave, so that human trafficking stops being a thing. Because power dynamics have nothing to do with this of course.

So we don’t need OSHA? We can just let construction workers quit if the contractors make them do dangerous stuff?

Youre a bit oblivious to your privilege. People can’t just quit or yknow, they starve.

At this point youre just being disingenuous. There’s a thousand comments in this thread answering that question, and explaining why stiffing the workers doesn’t really affect the owners, or incentivise them to change anything.

Figure of speech

Now is the time to scare them at least, and if there’s any time to have them on the bad side it’s now. See who kneels and who doesn’t imo.

Because he’s attacking all institutions that have some sort of control he wants. The wide net just feeds into the deep state narrative and he needs to capitalize on that right now

Kids, healthcare, education, private equity etc… that’s how you make a dictatorship.

See it this way, BlackRock has enough power to do to the republican party what the republican party is doing to the gov. They need all of that gone to become megalomaniac authoritarians.

If I wanted to become Bill Gates, and make my own Microsoft, i first have to outlaw bill gates and Microsoft.

They all get a free flight home too. This is to reinforce the behaviour, they are being rewarded to go do it again.

Not sure, I think it was here

Wdym source, I just took the comment I was replying to and quoted what he linked. Sources are in the top comment.

Funny this article mentions nothing of that. I had read it somewhere else.

This is what Maccabi Tel Aviv Hooligans did in the Netherlands that triggered all the violence against them after the authorities did nothing, don’t let anyone twist it.

Israelis are not the victim.

They took down Palestine’s flag and then it all started.

An eyewitness stated: “It all kicked off when they pulled a Palestinian flag off a facade. Then they started provoking and destroyed a taxi driver’s car and beat up the driver themselves.”

Some Maccabi fans were seen with metal chains, ready to attack.

Also during tonight’s match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Israeli supporters refused to hold a minute of silence for Valencia flood victims. They even started illegal fireworks.

They sang racist extermination songs

“Let the IDF win to Fuck the Arabs”

Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans chant their genocidal song while being protected by the police in Amsterdam, this song they’re chanting has a part that says “there are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left”.

This place is just as toxic as reddit lol, it was a valid question.

Edit: and before people get confused by my username, I haven’t been back to reddit since the day RIF stopped working.

Ahh yes other employment! How come nobody ever thought of that… Just get another job of course. Taxi driver don’t like their wage? Why dont they change jobs. Improper ppe? Just quit. Minimum wage at mcdonalds not livable? Change jobs bro. Bad / dangerous working conditions? You know it… Change jobs! Why do we even bother with oversight like OSHA when all construction workers need is to change jobs when things arent properly done. Contractors will figure it out eventually! California should do away with their pesky wage rules,“to be fair” they aren’t necessary, workers won’t be sitting at home waiting for it.

It’s so ridiculous of an answer ill go back to arguing with those who think they shouldn’t tip. We’d all prefer to see it outlawed.

Like not tipping is going to abolish anything. You walk in, pay the owner and leave the worker hanging. Why would the owner care?

It’s not like all the waiters can stay home waiting for something to change, people gotta live. Stop going to restaurants if you don’t want to tip

Don’t like tipping? Protest the policies by not going to restaurants, dont shove it on the workers who are stuck in the system.

The owner is 100% happy you came to pay him and not the waiter he didnt wanna pay anyway.

Definitely not by design, as the rich do whatever they want and push austerity on the rest.
