and anything else Ronald Reagan said.

why would she do that?

You aren't wrong. Has been trialled in certain parts of the UK. Those that trialled it have decided to keep it. Same salary, less stress, same productivity.

How else are they going to pay for it?

My perfect partner will propose to me with a kitty! ^.^

Good ol USA, lol

An obscene scam!

I got a piece of blank paper in my wallet for pharmacists who try to sell me homeopathic products. Always tell them I'll take it, but will pay with this sheet of paper which is not money by itself but got the money-information from the real bills in the wallet. Hilarious faces guaranteed every single time!

They're everywhere too. Something as innocent as a makeup company could be an mlm.

The concept of "market value" is, in and of itself, a scam. I bought my small 2BR house in 1997 for $99k. I've made some minor upgrades, but there are major ones that need to be done (siding, roof, kitchen, bath). Zillow gives my house a market value of $260k, which is ridiculous.

When I was teaching I never gave out a textbook, just my course notes which I'd work through. I was more interested in the kids knowing the concepts than making a buck on my own self-authored textbook, which is what a lot of these high-level profs do.

College shouldn't have a price.

Religion can be used to harm people yes, and I’m not excusing that. But as a Jewish kid, I love my community, and of people was to believe in a higher power, that’s up to them. I personally don’t believe in god, but some of my family does. HOWEVER, religion is not an excuse to treat people like s**t. And don’t get me started with Christian Mega Churches. I do believe a lot of religion is very corrupt, but believing in a higher power and making a community out of it is not inherently bad.

This should just say Ticketmaster. Should be in court for their robbery.

I still think the electoral college is bulls**t. I know the reason, but it doesn't seem fair to me. "Everyone must vote, but we have tk make sure the riff raff makes the choice we want." 🙄

Insured? Good start, but not full guarantee of coverage. Uninsured? Very very bad position to be in.

FOX news in court says they are an entertainment show, not a news show. They say is should be obvious to anyone who watches that they make all that stuff up for entertainment. So does that mean the 50% of the population that believes FOX are all incapable of recognizing false news as being entertainment?

Tax refunds. I gave you an interest-free loan, and now I have to do the work to figure out what you owe me? At least pay me interest

No, tipping for good service makes sense. COMPULSORY tipping makes no sense.

excuse you? im European and I tip all the time. When im happy with my waiter (for example), not because i have to.

Tipping is a deplorable, demeaning practice that is a hold-out from the middle ages when people would grovel for handouts. It really needs to be abolished.

No tipping. Pay your employees a living wage.

The tipping culture has grown into something that is becoming a major problem. Tips were a thank you for going above and beyond, now the worse service people throw big fits if they don't get at least a 15% tip. Most employers are now paying at least minimum wage and anyone who accepts a low wage expecting tips needs to make sure they provide a service that earns a tip.

It's all because servers wages are so low (in America) (I'm British) they depend on them. Either put your prices up or cut the portion size down!! It's ok saying you have great food, but the portions are so huge that it doesn't make sense to lose money when you can still offer good food in smaller portions and save money! Better still, give servers a decent wage and you'll get better results all round. People should not have to factor in their tip when they eat out. I give a tip when I eat out, but it's not expected. I've also heard what some servers say or think when they don't get a tip, and some were disgusting because we owe them a living!!! NO your employer does and anything extra is fab. Some sound really entitled about it. They're entitled to a better wage not tip!!!

Servers do make less than minimum wage and HAVE TO PAY TAXES for 15% of their customers bill, even if they do not get 15% tip. So, if they are not tipped at least 15% , the government expects that's what the servers made.

The thing is in the USA/Latin American countries the food industry does not pay what's fair because they want to keep "reasonable" prices, and on the other hand people are not willing to pay what food would cost if restaurants and similar services offered salaries that are actually a living wage.

its only because in good ol' freedomland, people get to be paid less than minimum wage because "they get tips" even though the restaurant usually keeps like 3/4 of all the tips

Tipping is fine..IF you get service you feel deserves extra! Waitstaff that EXPECTS a tip w/out providing good service is BS. I've stiffed waitstaff (and I was a waitress for years!) and left a critique in it's place! A customer should not be responsible for paying the wages of staff!

Spoiler alert, the game IS the scam

A lot of people don't even get to retire.

sawdust shakes.

YES! I posted on one earlier that I still think it's bulls**t. Like "your vote counts! We'll definitely consider it."

Property taxes are used by your local municipality to pay for workers to do things like remove garbage, fix the roads, fix the street lights and road signs, etc. There is a point to them. The problem I have with property taxes is that churches are exempt and schools aren't, in my country. I would like churches, especially evangelical megachurches, to pay taxes. Those guys are already millionaires/billionaires. SAfrica.

Then when you graduate, they want experience. Experience you can only get with a job. So guess what.... Work for free. That can't pay your debt, so you work a side job to pay for that. It's a mess to say the least.

Money can't fix everything. If you have billions of dollars, I feel like you're morally obliged to spend a large portion of that giving back to your planet.

I never really cared for diamonds. My boyfriend bought me a ring with a moonstone and I love it!

For me, it's just an excuse to buy a bunch of candy and food. You should treat your partner the same on every other day.

Hate my insurance company.

Honestly, I think it's cheaper to not get insurance and wing it, (if you don't have a chronic condition.) If I break my arm I'm f**ked anyway. Might as well save a few hundred bucks a month

petrol is refined oil mined in the middle east mostly. It props up mostly theocratic dictatorships, and causes most of the middle east political turmoil. Take your pick.

Doesn't stop me getting jealous when someone wins. I don't play, never have but get annoyed when someone wins. The human brain is perplexing.

Then there are products now on store shelves called Smart Water, Just Water, etc. I presume they are a notch up from Garden Hose Water, but that might just be the water from the Grade School Fountain That Jimmy Spit In talking.

It could be debated if this really is still Catholicism. It is centered a lot on things like political conservativism, mysticism and a hyped-up veneration of Virgin Mary that some might find cult-like.

Getting married is not the same as having an expensive wedding.

In Australia, you own bank ones are free, withdrawing cash while shopping is also free.

And it's gotten even more out of hand now. When I was a kid and played little league softball the team provided all the equipment except your glove and shoes. Now, all the kids come to school with at least 2 bats, their own batting helmet, and some of the catchers have all their own gear. It's ridiculous how much money parents must spend on their kids' sports, especially when they are still growing and that equipment will have to be replaced almost every year.
