"Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, 'No, you move'." Peggy Carter
@pandapino61@implausibleblog Brainwashed. We’ve been told repeatedly that health insurance is earned by working a job that forces you to pay for insurance. The ones on Medicare are usually screaming the loudest that you need to work to deserve health insurance.
@JohnCleese I understand that restaurants are financially in a bind. Margins are tight. If they do living wages or facsimile thereof, people beat their chests because “I can make this cheaper at home” because they aren’t factoring in rent of building, wages, prices for food, utilities etc
@CasuallyGreg This has been standard for a century. Restaurants can be in a bind. Patrons get testy about paying for meals as is but if the restaurants really paid living wages plus the actual cost of meals, people get outraged because they can’t math.
