  • Tipped staff as a percent of the workforce is very small. If I read his proposal correct it’s tips anywhere rather than a specific industry as well. That means in my mind a lawyer could say this is my rate that’s really low and then I have an option for a Tip. While the tip has to be voluntary it would be hard for the IRS to prove if it was agreed upon prior. So it could be really manipulated rather than help a larger percentage of people. Simply raising minimum wage or expand the standard deduction would go further I’d think.















  • My hunch is Zuck is salivating over divestment and was lobbying for this. However I think bytedance won’t divest since the US market only represents under 5% of the user base.

    This is gonna bite Biden in the ass hard with the younger generations if he signs it and then they won’t vote (granted a lot don’t vote anyway). They’ll see it as an out of touch old government trying to silence our voices and give money away for war rather than help people. Will definitely be interesting to see how it unfolds.
