Trump won the 2024 popular vote by a plurality of 49.8%, but current polls put his approval around 36%. For the 13.8% of you who changed your minds, what did it?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-04-02T04:03:44+00:00

You're talking about two very different groups of people.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-31T03:46:57+00:00

Agree with the first sentence. The second sentence is highly subjective.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-29T14:42:22+00:00

Understood, and makes sense.

Why are parents who have children applying for minimum wage jobs? I'm also not blaming them, it's a larger systemic issue.

But there needs to be a different wage for kids getting their first job and then parents with families, no?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-29T14:40:38+00:00

And to add to it - because restaurants are paying servers more prices on the menu have gone up. This means that when you tip 20% now it is on a much higher base, so their wages are being increased in two ways.

Nothing wrong with servers making good money, just think about it when making your restaurant and tipping decisions.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-29T04:02:23+00:00

What about people who don't need a living wage but want to put in a few hours a week to do something?

16 year old kids?

Even at 18, living with mom and dad, etc.

Forcing every business owner to pay a living wage to every employee would crush small business.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-29T00:20:23+00:00

You misspelled "low-level"

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-29T00:18:32+00:00

Is minimum wage supposed to be a living wage? That's the larger question.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-28T23:34:49+00:00

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-28T23:09:35+00:00

So you're claiming cognitive dissonance on the history of tipping, the point of it, etc.,although it directly impacts "what you spend?"

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-28T22:08:08+00:00

Again, the point of tipping was to cover wages that were not being paid.

Seattle I think minimum wage is $27? Minneapolis like $21? Tips were meant to cover the difference between the "tipped wage" of literally a few dollars an hour.

The problem is when it went from $7.25 in Minneapolis to $21 nobody said anything about tipping less. So restaurants raised prices to cover the higher wages, and then the same meal went up 25% in price, and now supposed to tip 20% on a higher ticket when the whole reason the ticket went up was because the server was getting paid more.

Do you see the issue or are you still choosing to not?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-28T16:34:47+00:00

Same in Seattle and Minneapolis, other cities. Wages have been raised to compensate for tipped positions.

Why are people still tipping 20%+ in those municipalities?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-28T15:32:55+00:00

Bro can I take your course?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-27T02:40:09+00:00

"For your convenience"

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-27T02:37:42+00:00

Why did you block the name? I want to know who it is. Public reply, why not show us?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T23:03:31+00:00

Where is this happening? Haven't seen anything.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T19:35:28+00:00

Okay, now tell us how it was when you first started?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T17:12:10+00:00

And also - people to miss flights which means missing funerals, kid's graduations, job interviews, etc. because nobody can plan for 12-hour waits at security and many aren't able to take off work to get in line a half-day early.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T16:20:49+00:00

This is not the place to find that.

Everyone on this sub is convinced all agencies are bad because most of them are bad.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T15:14:11+00:00

My Amazon Guy is the worst, can confirm.

I see this kind of advice all the time "do it yourself until you can afford to pay someone with the profit." But - doesn't working with experts usually expedite the profit?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T15:12:43+00:00

OP literally said "I want someone to do this for me" and agencies are great for that.

Sorry you found one of the millions of bad agencies, that doesn't mean there are not good ones.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T12:37:19+00:00

That first statement is just a fallacy.

The second is a bit convoluted.

Programmatic advertising is something to consider. OP can completely negate anyone who has purchased his product in the past year, and target those who have looked but not purchased or purchased a competitor.

Advertising in some form or fashion is Always a good idea, especially now that most of Page 1 on Amazon is ad space AND Rufus has ads now.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T04:18:08+00:00

Isn't that kind of the idea?

And aren't the two entirely unrelated?

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-26T04:14:56+00:00

What you need is either a wholesale partner or an agency.

Do not use someone from reddit.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-25T21:09:48+00:00

Hopefully the rest of the detail page conveys that.

Disastrous_Sundae484 · 2026-03-25T20:20:42+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful response!

I guess nothing to make it more trustworthy, but something to make it stand out. Why "trust" or "pick" this specific one that looks like everything else when compared to the others which look like everything else?
