Removing taxes on tips is a stupid, pandering policy that, at best is just a distraction, and at worse a government subsidy to the restaurant industry.
If we want more progressive taxation that benefits low income earners, we can just do that. Why should a barista make tax-free income but not a janitor? I’m fine with reducing taxes for lower income earners and increasing it for higher income earners. But why should it have anything to do with tips?
I’d like to understand why this post is being hit with downvotes and dismissal. Isn’t the point of this sub to address these kinds of issues and perspectives, confronting them if they need critique perhaps, but providing a space to talk thru and work towards an equitable liberation for all, inclusive of men?
The first rule in the sidebar is “assume good faith” but multiple comments are making (afaict) groundless accusations of bating. What gives?
To be clear, I am not saying I co-sign this post. But what I see is someone voicing hurt and a feeling of not feeling safe or recognized, while I think there is a fair bit of inaccurate generalization being made on the basis of that hurt, the hurt is valid and some of the dynamics identified I think are obviously real too.
I’m just a bit confused about whether this sub is what I took it to be, or if there is some context I’m missing or something.
Thank you very much! Not sure why I couldn’t hunt that down before, but maybe I was searching with the wrong name.
Tell that to the hundreds of researchers who have their entire research programs and funding prospects thrown into the air, and/or outright cancelled.
Fucking bizarre take to lob at someone fleeing a country rapidly falling to fascism and ethnic cleansing.
These are places I would consider if I were able to go back to school:
This fact has me considering dropping bell more than the outage itself.
It is totally indefensible for a telecom company to rely on X, steaming pile of inaccessible garbage that it is, for critical communications.
Yep, this basically is a government subsidy to the service industry, which then removes funds from essential government programs, like health and education.
Another step towards an illibertarian hellscape. :(
These kinds of prescriptive gimmicks are very exasperating, imo.
This is a case of “don’t let the bad make bad stuff worse”.
