The pandemic pushed dining out numbers back to 1980s levels, ie dining out has absolutely loving exploded since the 1980s in the US for a bunch of reasons including wallpapering over a real economy that poo poo the bed.

If you're a median middle class white collar worker in America, you don't have a lot of outlets to spend your $66K median household income today like you could in the past. My wife's grandma used to take weekend trips to New York City to go see Broadway theater; most Americans can't afford that anymore even if they live close enough to drive to Manhattan.

They certainly aren't traveling to Europe or any other number of middle class signifiers that were a thing 40-60 years ago.

Eating out is what they've got left to show that they're members of the privileged class, and when their servants opt out of being servants they go apeshit over it.


https://twitter.com/scratchbomb/status/1426222536560361476

Service industry is primarily poc and women. The middle class as a concept is reinforced by temporarily purchasing the services of a servant. Someone who cooks your food, makes your coffee, takes your order, gives you a room at a hotel, cleans that room, etc.

Whether you're being an abusive piece of poo poo or ignoring them or even being friendly, the middle class is still being served and that creates and reinforces class dynamics between the middle class and the working class. It creates hierarchy.

That hierarchy is being challenged because the service industry is breaking down. It has become more expensive to temporarily rent the services of that servant. To treat them like poo poo or be kind or ignore them, doesn't matter, interaction with the service industry is one of the pillars of being middle class.

I have a theory that one of the reasons why there's so much abuse in the service industry now is because the middle class don't get it as much and they're desperately trying to shore up that piece of their identity. Because being a consumer is all a lot of these people have left. Not all of them, but a lot of them have no other identity other than being a consumer and so they're desperate to keep consuming at all costs. That as far as identity goes there's nothing there or at least not enough to sustain them. That if the shelves are empty and there's no one serving them, they have to deal with the fact that they don't know who they are.

Co-worker sounded like crap on a call today. He's fully vaxed, fully wfh.

Asked him if he went to get tested - 'no, it's just a cold. FIrst of all I'm vaxed and I don't even have covid symptoms. I'm not running a fever. I just have a runny nose, chest congestion, headache, lots of sneezing, and generally feel bad.' Thanks to the thread, I was able to provide information that convinced him it could be covid so he has an appointment to get tested.

Thanks thread.

We've got that here too, but it's called "Province on fire". Love breathing the ash of someone else's dreams.

"It's J is for...you know what? Fuck it, jizz it is"
How long until COVID becomes Marek's disease but in humans?

quote:

But a chicken virus that represents one of the deadliest germs in history breaks from this conventional wisdom, thanks to an inadvertent effect from a vaccine. Chickens vaccinated against Marek’s disease rarely get sick. But the vaccine does not prevent them from spreading Marek’s to unvaccinated birds.

In fact, rather than stop fowl from spreading the virus, the vaccine allows the disease to spread faster and longer than it normally would, a new study finds. The scientists now believe that this vaccine has helped this chicken virus become uniquely virulent. (Note: it only harms fowl). The study was published on Monday in the journal PLOS Biology.

This is the first time that this virus-boosting phenomenon, known as the imperfect vaccine hypothesis, has been observed experimentally.

The reason this is a problem for Marek’s disease is because the vaccine is “leaky.” A leaky vaccine is one that keeps a microbe from doing serious harm to its host, but doesn’t stop the disease from replicating and spreading to another individual.

meeting your friends for a meal or drinks where one of you doesn't have to play host is good actually, especially if you have a small place, live far apart or you don't know them that well.

I feel like Americans must have a weird relationship to dining out because of how badly service people are underpaid and the whole tipping thing is meant to make you put a price tag on the server.

It really makes it look so much worse. Florida healthcare is collapsing but the intermittent case reports just makes it look like their entire system of recording and tracking cases is breaking down. Along with that plot's y-axis.

We had this exact same conversation last summer in the COVID thread driven by the exact same posters that consider any type of situation where you purchase a service to be "renting a servant".
