I actually just looked into this, and no state in America can legally pay an employee less than $7.25/hr. If you as the employee don't make enough in tips to make your wage at least $7.25/hr, the employer has to pay beyond the $2.13/hr to make sure you always make at least $7.25/hr, not that $7.25/hr is even remotely a livable wage in 2023…

I don't know if you need to pick a different one per se. It's all likely a work in progress. I did notice the community subscribe buttons are also often screwed up and are plain text instead of a clickable button. Not sure what that's all about. I've just been enjoying version 0.18 and the owner has the extra filters for top of the last 12, 6, and 1 hour

You should take a look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_US_states_by_minimum_wage and see what the minimum wage is in the state you are visiting. The minimum wage where I am is one of the highest in the nation so I don’t tip anymore.

Edit: I am aware many states have below federal minimum for tipped employees. My point was if they’re visiting one of the states with a high minimum wage, they should forgo tipping. Nobody below bothered to link it, but here's the minimum wage page for tipped employees: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped. It's worth noting that even in the states that can pay tipped employee as little as $2.13/hr, the employees never actually make less than the federal minimum of $7.25/hr because the employer has to make up the difference if the employee doesn't make enough in tips, not that $7.25/hr is even remotely a livable wage in 2023...

Regardless, tipping is an inherently flawed system, and it's not the responsibility of the consumer to pay specifically the server a living wage while everyone in the kitchen suffers (I would know, I've been there). If you're not happy with the wage laws in your state, get involved in politics and exercise your right to vote to do something about it.

Whoever is in charge of discuss.tchncs.de has converted the community search into a lemmy content search

The number of people in these comments who didn’t watch the video is astounding. He literally meant the entire world because in the last few minutes of the video he talks about how things are also spiraling out of control in Europe:

Regardless, looking at the best selling SUV models worldwide in 2021 they’re made by the Japanese, Germans, and South Koreans, so no, it’s not “stupid Americans” killing us 🙄

Oh yeah for sure. Corporations actually made up of the plastic numbering system specifically so they could sell more plastic and it has been shown that recycling doesn’t work. https://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/the-passionate-eye/recycling-was-a-lie-a-big-lie-to-sell-more-plastic-industry-experts-say-1.5735618

Getting pretty off topic here though lol

By that logic, consumers should quit conserving water and recycling. Agriculture uses around 70% of all freshwater globally and 20 corporations produce over half of all the plastic waste in the entire world.

The video actually specifically stated SUVs have the second greatest increase in emissions by sector.

I don't believe it changes anything, but lemmy.world is actually hosted in Germany: https://lemmy.world/comment/45648

And thus the problem of Global Warming was solved once and for all.

But that-

ONCE AND FOR ALL!
