Nothus posted:Turns out the restaurant industry is only viable via wage theft or slave labor, shame we've built our entire culture around going out to eat. Not true, there's a local place that is starting to franchise out to other cities that is doing insanely well and pays servers $20 per hour/bartenders $25 per hour. It helps the food is loving amazing too.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:The modern restaurant industry has only been a thing since the late 1970s, USDA says 1977 was the tipping point where spending on food away from home outstripped food at home. Probably a deliberate policy choice to paper over manufacturing employment making GBS threads the bed, shame it’s a load-bearing pillar of the economy now. and remember, when dining was at hotels, or fine restaurants, being a waiter paid really well, that's why the old stereotype of them is as snooty. I don't know the degree to which America ever had the whole brigade de cuisine tradition outside of like the Ritz and Algonquin or whatever, but these were not people you abused into servitude, that's an American cultural innovation. Short order cook was considered well-paying skilled labour until relatively recently. e: Without doing a survey of the lit, I would hypothesize that dining going from large urban areas out to the suburbs and Middle America drove this transformation by making it the domain of small business tyrants instead of restauranteurs, and the clientele boorish swine who wanted to bully their lessers rather than people who didn't feel insecure about their class position and so didn't need to dominate the staff.

Megan McArdle with a banger of a column defending overdraft fees. https://archive.is/ikpDi quote:Unfortunately, good politics don’t necessarily make good policy. And I’m worried this move might end up hurting some of the very people it’s supposed to help: low-income Americans on the fringes of the banking system.

PostNouveau posted:If we cap overdraft fees, how will banks make up the lost revenue? Megan McArdle's whole thing is that I should be expected to care about "problems" like this, the financial costs to the ownership class of things of social value, and I have never understood why? I am not a libertarian. I am not a member of the banking class. Why should their profits concern me if the proposal improves the common welfare? She always argues as if libertarianism is common sense that only needs to be presented in twee metaphors, but I have never seen her even try to convince someone why they should adopt the libertarian point of view.

It isn't about the food, it's about the distinction between the server and the served.

Nonsense posted:Which matters more Megan, the bank wetting their beak, or the poor getting relief? This is what I mean. To her, it's obvious that the bank matters more. The danger is that the poor getting relief might impair the bank wetting their beak. But, she treats libertarianism as natural law, and I realize she's been immersed in it her entire life and committed herself to the project, I have never seen her actually make the case for all of the assumptions built into her work. I've had to read philosophy by libertarians, like Javier Hidalgo and Christopher Freiman, and it's like this too. If you aren't a libertarian, imo, it's either inane drivel or insane, because whatever "first principles" means to libertarians, that's clearly not the case for me as an uninitiated reader.

The QE talk reminded me to check how the Fed balance sheet reduction is going and all I can say is lol followed by a very hearty lmao. If they're going to turn the money hose on again after the ATHs and barely reducing their balance sheet just rofl. 0 risk risk of the moneyed economy and everyone else can get hosed. Oh right and velocity is still dogshit. Thanks Obama!

Idk maybe hire airplane experts to run an airplane mfger? Maybe having dipshit CEOs from random corporations on the board of Boeing isn’t helpful? Seeing the same thing with other companies like Nike. Putting an idiot who doesn’t have experience with the category in the ceo spot and oh look, everything goes to poo poo.
