How about we just make tipping rounding and pay people a living wage? You know in Europe, eating out is not more expensive than it is in the US and they don’t beg for tips. It’s such bullshit here

This data is bullshit. The results were from 1 week after Biden announced he was stepping down. As of this week, Harris is consistently polling over 50%.
Also, voters have to choose from “Let’s find a ceasefite” Harris and “Fuck them, Isreal should nuke them” Trump. It’s not even a question, stop pretending it is one.
Well, on average each state has 2% of the population. So, you could say any state with more than 6m people represents an above average population
Boromir would have patiently listened!!
Oooh, that was a really well thought out burn. Thank you for adding to the discourse.
Is she falling asleep in this picture, too? Lol
How is he putting Israeli lives over Americans? You can say he favors Isreali lives over Palestinian ones, but at what point are we going to accept that Isreal is at war, not the US? We cannot force Isreal to just stop, it’s not that simple.
No, it’s more like 3-400. The key point here is not the range, but the charging time
That is not going to happen
Clearly you’ve never worked with the homeless…it’s not the “look of poverty” as you alluded, it’s really more about active drug use or untreated mental health disorders.
Some people certainly fall on hard times, but many have serious mental health disorders that for a variety of reasons they are not managing. We often require an address and lots of paperwork to provide government benefits in the US, so it isn’t hard for people to fall out of the system.
Once that happens, it’s really hard to find your way back. There are certainly not enough programs to help people reintegrate with society. At the same time, a homeless encampment in a neighborhood is not a reasonable solution either.
I volunteered nearly every week feeding the food and housing insecure in Philly for nearly 3 years pre-covid (I moved shortly before Covid). It was a great experience and I got to know many people that I might have otherwise walked past, and it really underscored the value of social services and lack of help available.
It also taught me that people need to be in a place to accept help. The ones that were not in that place are the ones you worry about - they have nothing to lose. Most that came to the church to be served lunch (usually 100-200) were to an extent willing to receive help. Some had bad days or would relapse into drug use, but they were generally trying to do better.
But there were other, much darker, places in the city that people unwilling or unable to accept help went. Places like Kensington in North Philly. That was a huge problem for years…it was a huge open air drug market that basically occupied that area. Finally, I think just this year, police cleared the encampments there.
It’s not a great solution, but it also wasn’t tenable. My point is that you should understand that not all housing insecure populations are just good people that bad things happened to. Those not in a place to get help or actively using drugs can be dangerous. I certainly would not let my son near that group, nor would I gleefully accept an encampment near my house
AOC is actually not old enough to be president. Ironic given how old the candidates are…I agree, Biden has my vote
I seriously doubt that communities marginalized by the justice system would ever take claims of unfair prosecution seriously from possibly the most privileged white guy ever…
This is not comparable.
The fuel is spent and sold. Gas stations usually only have a few days supply of inventory.
This is like holding engines in inventory to swap without notice on the spot. But in this case the engines cost $10k+.
The fee to swap is about $12…so you have to swap each battery about 800 times to break even. See how you’re wrong yet?
The answer is massive government support. The cost of those stations has to be insane…imagine the inventory holding cost of those batteries
I used to work at a movie theater and someone died once in the bathroom. So that is probably why
She also ripped out the rose gardens at the white house…that should have been a crime
Except it was the GOP that did their rendition of the Beer Hall Putsch last time they lost…so fuck right off with that shit
Isn’t Sunak the third since the 2019 election?
Amen to that, the best risk mitigation is to remove the risk! Completely agree
The word you’re looking for is etcetera. And unless you plan to return to community banks where you have to get to know the local banker to get a mortgage, you need this system.
I’m not sure how tying this to capitalism makes sense…lending is a risk, they are betting that you’ll remain employed and will continue to pay them - there is a chance you won’t and you pay a premium to get money now. Communist countries also have this system, but it is more centrally controlled by the State.
