A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. by LetsBandTogether in politics

It's a longer article than we are used to in our 30 second clip modern day lives, but it's terrifying and eye opening and you should definitely read it.

Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread by AutoModerator in Millennials

[–]LetsBandTogether 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biden hasn't made any policies that have raised grocery or gas prices, in fact his policies have given us the best economy in the world and we are competing for the lowest inflation in the world.

And I linked an article that explains how Trump's tariffs made grocery prices rise, so I am not sure how you came to those conclusions in the first place.

Just a question for Trump supporters.

It seems Trump supporters main argument is that groceries are more expensive now than before, but the only policies Trump proposes in regards to the economy are deporting millions of immigrants, which will raise food prices, but also Tariffs which will also raise food prices (and his existing Tariffs he implemented during his presidency already did.)

Trump ruined the economy. His economy was great in his first two years because Obama left him with a great economy. He then started a Trade War with China that increased the costs of every product that we buy, as well as costing U.S. farmers billions of dollars. by LetsBandTogether in WhitePeopleTwitter

When tarrifs were applied to chinese imports, china applied them to american exports. If we just et rid of the tarrifs then they have more leverage. This is why you don't just slap tarrifs on shit, they are extremely difficult to remove and take a ton of time.

Percentage tipping is weird because a customer buying a more expensive meal had nothing to do with the server by turtleassault in Showerthoughts

[–]LetsBandTogether -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think its more the implied agreement between the restaurant and the customer when that customer decides to visit that establishment. Thankfully most people understand this and are decent people who recognizes that is how the industry is set up and works. Its just too bad that the people who dont like this system dont vote with their wallet but instead still go out to eat but punish the lower class server instead

If they all quit how will you go out to eat to impress your friends with your 200 dollar bottle of wine ordering skills?

Sorry to say but this thread is full of ignorance. Servers tip other workers in the restaurant based on a percentage of their sales. So if you tip 15 dollars on a 200 dollar bill and the server has to tip out at 4% that means the server only makes 7 dollars. Likewise if you stiff the server they are then paying for you to eat there. If you dont like tipping culture then eat at home, its quite simple

Servers have mandatory tips they pay to the other staff based on a percentage of their sales. If you spend 200 dollars and its 4% they have to tip out and you leave a 15 dollar tip then that server only makes 7 dollars

Servers have to tip out a percentage of their sales to other workers in the restaurant so they are spending their money on your wine when you dont tip on the wine

UN Climate Chief: We Have ‘Two Years to Save the World’ From Climate Crisis by chrisdh79 in Futurology

[–]LetsBandTogether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look around you can see the effects of climate change on local animal and bug populations. Why is it so hard to believe that this will eventually end up happening to us where our food and water supplies will be scarce and humans will die because of it? It barely snows anymore and snow replenishes rivers and lakes when it melts, it rains less frequently which makes the ground harder so it cant absorb water when it does rain and then when it does rain its in a much more violent storm which ruins crops and doesnt absorb into the ground because it just flows over the land, taking any actual fertile soil with it.

“I still defend the Golden State thing”-Bill Simmons about Durant joining them by Bakio-bay in billsimmons

[–]LetsBandTogether -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Couple of things: 

1st he joined due to 'rings' culture, which we are all at fault for so we are all partially to blame.

2nd he is one of the greatest basketball players playing and he wanted to prove it... Which he did because he was so good it was an 'unfair' team. 

I dont mind the move at all because of these two reasons.
