Dang you must be a good surgeon, I would think it would take mad skills to kill with a safety pin.

Bold of you to assume he's not already an undercover fed.
As I learned the other day, if it wasn't for undocumented immigrants paying taxes but not getting benefits, social security would be in a much worse financial situation.
Every working undocumented immigrant detained is one step closer to financial ruin for future grandpas and grandmas. When immigrants work jobs, they pay in, but since they are here illegally, they can't access the benefits from working. And it sure as heck ain't cheap to round them up and detain them either. It's too bad the media and politicians only pretend to care about the cost if the policy is something that actually helps people.
Hey now, don't be dissing rocks. We can trick rocks into thinking, the people on the other hand I'm not so sure.
if they think they can get away with it.
You missed this apparently.
Also stealing wages via tips is different than not paying the difference between tipped min wage and regular minimum wage when there isn't much business. Maybe there was some confusion on your part about what I was referring to there.
Both are forms of wage theft and both do happen, but I wasn't referring to stealing tips in my OC. Perhaps I could've worded my comment better to make that clearer.
Why the hostility and insults to ~~unskilled~~ essential workers? Those jobs are often worked at by young workers who don't necessarily know their rights. I agree it's bad business practice to do it but it absolutely happens.
Its not your employer’s job to babysit your paycheck.
LOL Yes, it literally is.
dolts like you ... If you arent reporting discrepancies, thats on you
Nice insult, very constructive. What would the capitalist business owners do without people like you putting down workers and defending their shitty business practices? Also ah yes it is the workers fault for that they are getting wages stolen from them not the owner's or manager's.
But how much heatsink? Pea sized is surely a bit small for a whole chicken. Maybe egg sized?
And lots of employers will refuse to pay more than the tipped rate on slow days stealing wages from the workers if they think they can get away with it.
Probably only because they include some 'benefits' like health insurance that are horribly overpriced and the worker never sees.
I don't think of it as an insult generally, but it reads like an insult in this context to me since you certainly weren't using it a clinical sense and it doesn't land as a joke imo; now you can say that's all on me if you want but communication has 2+ parties involved. Even if it wasn't meant as an insult, it is still ableist language in this context imo and I will call it out even if it makes people uncomfortable.

Politicians were never meant to represent us (the people). We the people was war propaganda to revolt against the English and their king. They have, since the founding of the US, represented the business owners (landowners). And even after giving women and black people the right to vote, the system still mostly represents the interest of the business owners.
Bug report closed: System works as intended.
For the politicians to actually represent us, we the people would need to have some sort of broad agreement on what we do and do not want. But unfortunately, the people don't have the needed experience or education to come to that agreement. So instead we get 2 different flavors of politicians serving the owners and none serving the people. Pick your favorite team, but they do not currently represent the people's interest, instead they represent the business owners' interests.
As a people, our job is to attempt to bend the politicians and business owners' to our will using what we currently have at our disposal: our actions and our words. But that still won't get anywhere without many other people backing up our actions and our words with their actions and words. It won't be easy, but it is necessary if we want to shape our societies future. If we don't do it, we get shadowy groups like the heritage foundation doing it for the business owners and pushing it on our leaders.
Also the politicians' job is largely dependent upon them listening to the demands of the businesses lobbyist as of now. If they don't follow their wishes they can expect a harder battle to keep their seat. They would get less big campaign donations and stronger primary challengers as a result of their noncompliance. This makes our job harder since it is difficult to get them to understand something when their job and salary depends upon them not understanding it.
