The “of course” makes it clear you dislike the outcome

Only inasmuch as a desirable outcome would have been the lowering of the age of retirement for men to either that of women or meeting both on the middle. The issue is that the government being the government took it as an excuse to effectively cut welfare.

The long mention of the men who in your eyes “caused” this

To be honest it probably just brought it on sooner. The government would have found it as excuse to raise the retirement age without it being highlighted to them.

also makes it pretty obvious what your stance is about this and who you want the scapegoat to be in the discussion.

No, still don’t see it.

I don’t see how you got that from what I said.

I didn’t think the American system allowed for early elections?

X for doubt as this comes from the daily Hail

Britain did until quite recently. Then a group of men went to court, I think hoping to get the men’s age lowered to that of women. But of course the government raised the women’s age to that of men.

The 3yo minded liar is near enough 80 anyway.

Maybe that’s the tactic, force Ukraine to divert food and resources to feeding thousands of Korean deserters.

You Europeans are something else, man.

Lol because we expect companies to pay people properly rather than expecting customers to top it up.

Tipping is immoral as it allows companies to underpay. Tipping is anti free market as companies should be competing for staff through their remuneration packages.

The thing I’ve never understood about tipping culture in general and especially the American culture around it is why some low paid staff get it and some don’t.

Why do you tip your food delivery driver and not the guy delivering your Amazon package?

Why do you tip your wait staff, but not your supermarket checkout assistant?

It’s double what’s standard to tip for good service.

Tipping is just another way for the corporations to reduce the overhead by having the customer pay the wages of the employee directly, reducing both the budget for salaries and also the reducing ancillary expenses like unemployment insurance and employer wage withholding, occupational privilege tax, etc.

It also makes these jobs falsely competitive against other “unskilled” jobs where tipping isn’t the norm.

I thought yanks were all for the free market, tipping is the oppositeness to this as it negates the free market whereby companies complete with wages and benefits for staff.

So, you’re supporting the unfair system.

Only because you live in a country where they don’t pay people properly.

You yanks are crazy with your attitude to pay.

Lol that’s so bad.

Even with an insane 20% tip I don’t think you’ve worked it out right. A 20% tip on the food (because why would you tip on a service charge??) comes to 4.09
