  • Agreed, but I don't think the world's ready for that. We'll probably let masses of people starve to death/resort to crime before we start paying people a UBI or an alternate arrangement that allows people to feed themselves when they are unable to find work.

  • Yeah, a jobs a job, it should pay a living wage at a minimum. I guess the difference is supply and demand. Anyone can stock shelves at a supermarket, making the employee pool large, meaning they can lower the wage and still get someone desperate.

    The government needs to step in and force companies to make that "lower wage" at least liveable.

    Although to be honest that may speed up the implementation of robot shelf stockers, which creates another set of problems.

  • California says restaurants must bake all of their add-on fees into menu prices
  • Good for her, but arguably it's not supposed to be a high paying job. A living wage, sure, but higher than a job that you presumably studied for and required relatively uncommon knowledge seems wrong.

    So I guess the answer is no, we wouldn't expect restaurants to work out how much people get paid in tips and match it, it would be a liveable wage and if the current workers don't like it they would leave.

    I don't know that your girlfriend getting bankrolled is common across the industry either, tips rely on high traffic and customers with big pockets. Most wait staff don't brag about how rich they are.

  • Florida man points AR-15 in Uber driver's face, forces him to ground for dropping daughter off: deputies
  • Are these people living in real dangerous areas or are they just convinced any unexpected car entering their driveway is out to murder them?

    Second similar article in a short period, the other was a pizza delivery that went to the wrong address and got shot at.

    People in apartments should not have dogs at all!
  • I have a couple of dogs on an acreage roaming all day. One of the dumb shits still gets bored sometimes and tries to chew through an outdoor chair leg, or rips the hell out of her bed/food bowl.

    I don't blame them for the cage thing with that in mind, but personally think it's cruel and the destruction is just part of dog ownership. I tag it as "I should have bought more things to keep her entertained".

  • Temporarily embarrassed millionaires pt. 2
  • I mean sure money itself is just a token, but it's an evolution from trading goods and services for other people's goods and services, right?

    You trade your time for tokens to exchange for something valuable to you, instead of being paid in food/accommodation directly.

    I don't think you'd be happy if you went back to the days where you needed to trade actual items to get a loaf of bread.

  • Which pill do you choose?
  • I'm liking the "going back to when I was 6 with all the knowledge I have now" option, but in reality 6 year old me would probably be too immature to know I need to remember it and by the time I needed to use that information in any sane way it would have been long forgotten.

    I mean some people are saying get bitcoin early days, but 6 year old me was at least 10 years off Bitcoin existing.

    It would also really suck knowing how easy it was to obtain information in the future only to be stuck in the past and barely have access to the internet at all.

  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
  • Do the content creators still make money off of your views if you do not see an ad?

    I use YouTube Premium with a family membership and have used all of the slots with family members. $33 a month isn't bad for 5 people to have ad free YouTube, still fund the content creators and also have YouTube Music.
