  • The fact that it is not mandatory should not even register with anyone with half a brain cell.

    The US is just so stupidly backwards and going even further in that direction that it’s even an option to not vaccinate your kids.

    All that’s going to happen is that this country will push out all the intelligent people who will want to leave for somewhere with some intelligence and the oligarchs will be left to rule over a blatantly stupid populace who force themselves into slavery






  • Yeah see that seems to be a very libertarian market driven way of looking at things.

    The way things end up working, at least in the US, is that they a) just won’t raise the minimum wage, and b) even if everyone stops tipping they won’t raise it, and then you’ll have a bunch of people unable to live who still have to work for shit wages. Which is exactly the situation that exists in the states right now.

    I’ve lived in the Netherlands for 3 years - i much prefer the set up there. As you say, pay the price that’s listed. No extra surprises.
