It'd be interesting to see if there's data on this. It certainly seems like this should be true.

Yeah a little? But this is an elected official with real power misbehaving in public as well as being hypocritical with their anti-lgbt "for the children" stance.

As far as political news goes, this is pretty mild in terms of scandal. Not sure anybody's mind is going to change about her as a result of this, but I think if it can end up in an honest attack ad then it's probably newsworthy.

the problem of prices continually increasing

Spoken like somebody who knows nothing about economics. If your economy is growing, so are wages, so are costs, so are prices. No inflation = no growth. That's why the US Fed targets 2% inflation. Below that, it tries to stimulate the economy. Above that it tries to slow it down. So prices are always going up and so are wages. That's how it works in all the non-tipped industries, why the f should it be different for restaurants?

You should be concerned with a business being able to succeed because that means families are getting fed.

And that's the problem. If I need to tip for the service workers to get enough money to live, then it's on me to make the business successful by your definition, which doesn't sound like the business is really succeeding. It's succeeding because I've chosen to tip the right amount. I'm not going to withhold somebody's wages just because service was poor: they need to feed their family. Let's cut this "do a good enough job and I'll tip good enough" bullshit out and make sure we're actually feeding families?

Go back to X, Elon. Nobody wants you here.

You can't apologize in advance after you do the thing you're apologizing for. That's just apologizing.

If by "pass what they want" you mean "continue doing nothing" then I'm in agreement.

You've just described YouTube Premium. Except it's $14/month now. And I don't know the numbers for how much of that goes to creators.

You can also "join" a channel, assuming that channel has it enabled.

They do point out a couple of instances of questionable if not outright scummy things (e.g. the affiliate codes situation) but the article mostly gives off "stop using brave, I've decided it's cancelled" vibes.

The Completionist does a decent job of summing it all up https://youtu.be/UyhsZE6QIJ4
