Roll out nation wide end to sub minimum wage and encourage an end to tipping culture at the same time!

The economic attraction of working for tips was that they were in cash. Most people don’t carry cash anymore, and they all pay with cards.

The world changed and it adapted to keep corporate profits. None of them gave a second thought to people who work to pay their bills. The people whose time and effort made them rich in the first place.

Or end up with an even worse tipping culture after the change anyway, like in Canada

Stupidest shit
