I'm noticing a connection between dumbass idiot loving parasite landlords and the myth of the meritocracy where any failings in your life are because you just let them happen

Not sure why all of these high salary leeches with property seem to have developed the same general tone of their dumbass ignorant bitch opinions, maybe it's a coincidence and gaining wealth doesn't make you think that you earned it therefore everyone has what they deserve.

Nagle's point is that "treating migrants humanely" is tantamount to letting the country be flooded with surplus labor that will destroy the domestic working class. Yeah no poo poo people are going to push back against that. It's bad enough that there's a housing shortage in most American cities as it stands, while no one wants to build an adequate supply necessary to match the population growth.

Declaring migrants illegal while letting businesses exploit them by violating the laws is the worst of both worlds and not what Nagle is proposing. Hell, you just admitted it yourself - you don't like her method of cracking down on businesses trying to exploit under the table migrants. Failing that, all you have is the option of accepting mass migrants which has the inevitable impact of suppressing wages and degrading quality of life here. Not a very popular stance electorally

Lmao housing shortage dummy there's more empty houses than homeless people

Ok, y'all: I ran into a tipping-culture issue tonight & need feedback.

Four of us went to a place with a happy hour and got half-price wine & 2-for-1 pizzas. When we got the bill (on paper, not a tablet), the totals said something like:

REGULAR PRICE: $127
DISCOUNTS: -$46
TOTAL PRICE: $81

I thought it was a strange way to itemize but I was put in charge of figuring out the split so I said $25 each, including tip.

Later when I got home I wondered if they broke out the discount bc they expected us to tip on the pre-discount total, not the net total.

Are We The Assholes?

Yeah, they expected you to tip on the pre-discount amount. Also they should tell you this up front

if it's an in-store house-ran discount, it could just be how their accounting/billing system is setup and to track discounted costs. it's fine

it actually was a real gnarly issue back in the day when Groupons (lmao remember groupon??? lol they hosed themselves up) and poo poo were a big thing, computer touchers would go in with big groupon discounts and then stiff the staff big time because they paid $100 for a $120 restaurant coupon and now their bill is "only" $20 giving the staff a 2 buck tip on an 2-hour-long 8-person dinner.

I recently found out about a new-to-me, stupid feature of American healthcare (because capitalism is garbage): authorized generics.

So, everybody knows that after a while, drug patents expire, so other companies start making them and in theory poo poo gets cheaper.

Well, authorized generics are when the original drug company with the patent takes product off the manufacturing line, slaps a different company label on it, and sells it for less. Also, you can't use manufacturer's coupons, so they might actually cost more to the patient than the original brand name's poo poo depending on how your insurance works.

This is all so stupid.

There's a program around where I live that has deals with restaurants to give their members BOGO entrees for dine-in. It's a paid membership thing, but back in the days before COVID, I used to use it pretty regularly to go out to eat with a friend since we'd essentially be getting half off at any of the participating restaurants for our entrees and it saved us a shitload of money.

The thing is, they actually ask restaurants to report back on what people tipped and will ban them for not tipping at least 18% on the original amount. So, every time I went someplace and used it, the staff was always pretty upbeat about it. They knew they'd be getting a decent tip.

There's a good argument to be made that actually "a 1950s double-wide whose design lifespan ended in 1972, planted and it'll shake itself apart if you try to move it in an area that has been blighted since when the factories nearby picked up and moved to the new hotness of Cincinnati" is not actually useful housing.

Doesn't make new construction for the hell of it, no other restrictions in fact remove all the other restrictions, a good idea, but flat "there are empty house fill them" works out just as dumb.
