10%?? I don't think I've seen less than 15 in years
Then we are back to where we started where tipping is a guild riddled demand
Pay waiting staff a livable wage and include that in the price, no tipping
Sure ... The free market is only free as long as i always win
This is what I try to tell people who just want the cheapest things possible. We're voting with our dollars what kind of world we want.
Ok, please tell me where can I buy that's wasn't totally or partially made in China??
I'm an avid learner and DIY, I try to only buy raw materials and tools to make everything I can myself ... I have yet to see standard basic tools that were not made in China...
I understand your point, but to expect that "voting with your wallet" will cause change, is like hoping we can turn around a cruise ship by blowing at it
Just look at the enshitification of everything... Did people vote that in with their wallets? Or all services decided that on greed and left us no choice but to hold our noses or give up the last few vestiges of entertainment that we could still afford?
People have been mad for decades about what Walmart did to retail in the US.
And the government stepped in and addressed the situation, right? Right?
Sure we will take the sacrifice... I'm sure this time capitalist will get the message and start behaving reasonably
It's like that time thousands of us reduced or eliminated meat intake and suddenly the Kardashians realized taking private jet flight to avoid a few minutes of traffic was bad and stopped doing it

We already have had real close calls on nuclear (Chernobyl for example).... Have we learned from our mistakes? I hope so
