Buy Fairtrade. Cook your own god damn meals. Pay FUCKING EVERYONE a livable wage. The planet is on fire and the like 50 to 100 people responsible are also the reason why nobody's getting paid enough and why people are getting annoyed at servers asking for tips.

Furry convention is going well then?

The fuck is activism fatigue?

Are you describing getting tired of trying to make the world slightly less shitty, to the point where you post denigrating comments saying anything that isn't "We fixed everything in one go, turns out it was easier than we all thought" as pointless?

Or are you just annoyed at the fact that people care enough about the concept of survivng the next 100 years to actually do something about it?

It's better than shitting in your hands and clapping, as the saying goes

This is why a universal standard of minimum wage being livable is a bonus. If a restaurant pays better, by having a higher baseline wage, then the tips actually count as tips, the staff are happier and the service is better.

Here's the wild part, I'm fully in favour of having tips, but not as an alternative to the company that owns the bar or restaurant paying the staff a legally mandated livable minimum wage, I want tips to be a sign of a happy customer and for the server working to be able to put their whole ass into earning those tips, without worrying that some kyle or karen in a bad mood means that they earn less that day.

100% with you on nationally funded healthcare (I have no idea how americans deal with paying ludicrous taxes then being charged for a hospital visit, then having their medication denied by an insurance company that has no medical knowledge.)

I have, in fact, worked for tips so don't assume shit about me. I have also worked for minimum wage, with no avenue for tips.

As someone who lives in a country with worker's rights, I will admit even when I was working for tips, the place I worked was legally required to pay minimum wage. (they just get around that by making it so they don't have to give you the hours, fuck zero hour contracts)

Even then, there were people who weren't making enough to do anything but rent a room somewhere and MAYBE go out for a drink at their local once a week.

It's definitely more accurate to say people prefer having contracted hours, and a wage they can live off, than the threat of starvation and homelessness if they don't smile hard enough to make some geriatric fart take pity and throw them some spare change.

The survey data is crystal clear: Tipped employees overwhelmingly prefer the current tip credit payment system, and they don’t want it to change,” Corder said in a statement provided to Restaurant Business. “It’s rare to find an issue that commands such widespread support across diverse age, race, gender and geographic groups.”

"The survey was conducted by CorCom, Inc. of nearly 4,000 tipped employees in states facing tip credit elimination threats this year."

Ah yes, a study of 4000 people about to lose their tips would certainly prefer getting tips

Thanks for providing sources for your quotes Or were you embarrassed to say your source was " https://minimumwage.com/... "

Sounds like you don't understand what a livable wage actually means.

Or that you're a manager yourself and never had to live off an unlivable wage.

I still don't know how it counts as a democracy when you have both sides of the one party system supporting hard military power, global corporate hegemony and AT LEAST ONE active genocide
