I've worked multiple jobs in the service sector and I can absolutely tell you that waiters are still needed. The circumstances you are describing are essentially fast food/ small business pop and mum shops as Andrzej3K described.

However, it doesn't account for very specialized service jobs that exist in places like fine dining, luxury hotels, airlines, and other specific workplaces.

As someone who has worked in those fields you don't have any counters, and menus often don't tell you everything (for example: if the food contains something a guest is allergic to). I don't know what country you're from but in my country, we have something called RSA standards (Responsible Service of Alcohol) that is a legal requirement and must be enforced in the service sector, and last time I checked robots can't actively assess whether someone is too intoxicated to buy more drinks, you need human servers for that.

Finally, you need customer-service workers to organize and set-up the spaces that guests will be in, and cooks and bartenders can't do that because they'll always be back-of-house doing their own prep. Hell even in cheap dining places, you still need people to set-up the tables because robots aren't good enough for that.

I do however, agree that waitstaff have created a breed of guests who are incredibly entitled, self-centred, and incapable of doing work themselves, but the vast majority of them were already like that because of their class position (you think these capitalists don't treat their subordinates in their own workplaces the same?). That doesn't mean waiters shouldn't exist at all. Both can be true.

Not sure what's worse, people who think America is the rebellion or Americans who unironically say "the Empire did nothing wrong". At least the latter are being honest I guess.

Does it actually affect the American ruling class though to have a former President stand trial for the most petty shit possible? They were already perfectly fine with 1. Giving the US President unlimited power and 2. Letting Donald Trump get reelected despite his blatant corruption and abuse of power. What's one more overton shift?

I'm surprised no one's done it yet cause I remember people doing it for Kamala Harris the moment she became the nominee.

Orthodox Marxism but you become so orthodox you return to Hegelianism.

But for real though we do need a new Marxist 'head' to bring the ideology into the 21st Century, especially with the advent of the Information Age and all the socio-economic changes that brought.

The Chris Pine Dungeons and Dragons film that came out a couple of years ago was hella good though. Wish Paramount had the balls to give it a proper sequel.

FYI, Jillian Segal’s husband runs a trust fund that donates to a far-right lobby group that regularly promotes anti-immigration, anti-indigenous, and Islamophobic propaganda, as well as donations to state branches of the liberal party (the major conservative opposition in Australia).

I imagine lots of Zionist pants were shitted in in the last month.

Probably quite a few, but it's more likely most people don't bother trying to considering the process to enter the CPC is fairly strict; if I remember you have to undertake rigorous party study sessions, pass examinations and background checks, and have an existing party member be your mentor throughout the whole process. And this can take at least several years before you're finally admitted.

According to this SCMP article around 32 000 people left the CPC in 2010, but the party official who quoted this number didn't give a breakdown of it.
