You realize that the gig economy is not my responsibility, right? I'm not criticizing the workers for being underpaid. I'm criticizing the exploiters for underpaying their workers. If you can't pay your workers enough, that is not my fault. You are not entitled to exploit anyone for your personal gain.

Why are customers responsible for ensuring that workers get paid fairly? I'm looking for a service. If your service cannot exist without exploiting your workers, then it doesn't deserve to exist. You are not entitled to exploit people for your own gain.

If your business requires you to exploit your workers in order to make a profit, then your business doesn't deserve to exist. Making excuses for the exploiters changes nothing.

They already know the pay. If the pay isn't enough without the tip, then maybe they should consider getting a different job.

Yes. And specifically for that exact reason.

There's making fun of people, and then there's just playing up long disproven stereotypes as a way of being insulting. If blackface is insulting, so is pretending to be trans on stage and telling imaginary prisoners to suck your girl dick.

He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house.

And this would be understandable if he were a middle class housewife. But this is the US president, during a shutdown caused by Trump. There should have been any number of restaurants that would have dropped everything to fill an order for the White House. This entire episode was just an embarrassment.

Ok, I think I like this idea now. Where do I sign up?

But 13 months of 28 days is only 364 days. After 28 years, the months would be shifted and the seasons would no longer line up, which throws off a whole lot of stuff that needs proper timing like farming. It's not perfect, but the current calender is the way it is for a reason.
