  • Your argument isn’t grounded in reality which is my argument, propose a plan that will actually have impact past screwing service workers.

    I’m not sure what your point is with labor demonstrations, those people got change though very bloody(not voluntarily bloody) organized protests, not tipping isn’t even close to an accurate comparison. A little more profit to the working class is a crumlet and just doesn’t do shit for service workers, let’s focus on taking the pie back which again not tipping isn’t doing.



  • This only works in an idealized perfect scenario which doesn’t exist. You not tipping only hurts the delivery driver and doesn’t touch the man whatsoever. Furthermore companies are only required to pay 7.25 federally unless state has other laws, which many don’t. So best case scenario you are bumping people up to 7.25 which isn’t even close to a living wage and wouldn’t do a thing for vehicle maintenance and gas.

    You are welcome to believe that you are sticking to the man not tipping but the reality is that you are fucking over hard working people short term. Even if everyone unilateral agreed to stop tipping it would take years for the system to fully catch up and again you would be fucking them over during those years.

    It’s a lot different in academia vs industry for hard sciences. I currently work in industry, we have no options in the things we research but we are funded to the Moon. There is of course some amount of bowing we have to do in order to keep them quiet but that’s about it.

    In academia you have to secure your own funding constantly or your project just ends essentially. Academic institutions also look at metrics like impact factor and papers published/time that also effects the availability of funding. I know that people have had to stop pursuing doctorates due to funding issues. Politics in academia is notoriously horrendous.












  • Man that is a clean looking ball vape, wireless too, sick setup! I love the way the armored coil looks too, very visually satisfying. I have heard great stuff about the Omega and zeal! I was looking at their website, the kits are a crazy good price. Pretty crazy like 2-3 years ago you basically had to sink $500 or make a DIY. I see sub $300 kits pretty often now! Is this your first baller? I got a pre-order screwball that should be in by the end of the month, so hyped!
