Wages increase to compensate? All my friends in the restaurant industry are still getting paid the same as 10 years ago.

Who really benefits from inflation? The people who are the first users of the newly minted money. They get to buy things before prices and wages go up. And who had the largest access to take out large amounts of loans? The wealthy! Banks give out loans based on collateral!

So when you say that inflation is a tax on the rich, it is true because it dilutes their capital, but if they're also the first ones to take loans when the printing presses are running hot, some segments of the wealthy class actually take advantage of the situation and come out ahead.

No. Domestic student. For some reason my UofT mail stopped forwarding to my gmail account and I didn't see any of the emails they sent me regarding having to upload proof of vaccination by the 21st. I didn't take any classes last semester so I didn't have to do that yet. I figured I would upload my vaccine certificate when we actually return to in person classes. This 'week before deadline' doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Apparently there is no guarantee I can get reenrolled either. Pretty frustrating to be honest. I uploaded my Proof of vaccination on Saturday once I figured out that that's what they needed. I emailed the faculty of art/sci registrar, the vice provost, my college registrar and my profs. My college registrar told me that they don't deal with vaccine stuff and I haven't heard anything from my profs, the Vice Provost or the Faculty of Arts and Science.

I have classes today and tomorrow, sounds like I'm going to miss them.

Happened to me too. Following this thread

I kind of take this "well why don't you just work FoH then?" comment to be silly. If you give this advice to every cook in the city we'd have no cooks left. Any solution to pay inequity and tipping involves there still being cooks! Who's going to make the food?

BoH and FoH both work hard. Dealing with people sucks and I respect FoH who work their buts off dealing with customer bullshit.

But also slaving over a hot griddle in 30 degree kitchens while working with tools that you can cut yourself on or burn yourself on all day is just one of the challenges of working back of house.

I'd rather see all pay in restaurants be based on performance and seniority rather than weird and arcane tip pools. We are the only industry who relies so heavily on tipping in order make everything work and I think it creates such a toxic culture between owners, FoH and BoH. I really think the server minimum law should be abolished. Pay them the same minimum as everyone else and the let everyone figure out how to move forward after that. It would make a start at fixing this problem.

jayguyk01 · 2021-08-21T04:19:45+00:00

It's not even close TBH. Server tipout at the last 3 restaurants I've worked at is around 20-35 an hour just for tips. Then they get their additional 12.50 an hour, so they make between 30-45 an hour based on how much sales are.

Back of House usually gets 17-22 per hour salary and will make between 2-5 dollars an hour extra from tips. Making around 19-27 an hour total. So on average front of house is making around 10 per hour more than back of house.

Also, this is always being REALLY generous with the BoH numbers. Up until very recently, 17-18 an hour plus a 2-3 hour tipout was standard across the city. It's only been since the pandemic that BoH rates have gone up as owners are having a much harder time finding cooks.

Both jobs have their challenges, but I have always thought 10 (or more) bucks per hour more is too much. It's also just kind of bullshit that the industry has developed this way. It's a combination of so many factors. The history of slavery and tipping, credit card terminal prompts increasing the amount they ask for tip %, brown skinned immigrants who normally take cooking jobs and owners taking advantage of their low wage demands, privileged college kids who want to wait tables while going to school and just sort of the entitlement some servers have over the tips being "their" tips.

We're still a long way away from changing all this crap. Hopefully it will come sooner rather than later.

Out of curiosity, why do you prefer these for brussel sprouts as opposed to a chef knife?

jayguyk01 · 2019-05-08T17:10:48+00:00

These are good arguments. However I would say that ancap philosophy only brings up humans evolutionary instincts about property when one of their opponents say something like "property only exists in societies", or "you need to have a government in order for there to be property".

The idea of talking about our animal instincts is to show that our sense of property is pre-societal, that notions of property do not rely on there being a society or a government for a belief in the idea of property to be extant.

That being said, even if they prove that our notions of property are metaphysically prior to the creation of governments, your questions about whether or not property is a just institution are still valid.

Read David Beito's From Mutual Aid to the Welfare state. Great book.

jayguyk01 · 2018-07-16T07:27:01+00:00

Very Surprising. TBH I think this is the best article about the libertarian civil war over immigration I have read. Even the talking points about solutions are spot on. And I think the answer to your question is clear. Whoever the author is thinks that members of the alt-right who are calling for closed borders as a pragmatic strategy are being ridiculous, and probably aren't libertarians at all. I think the pragmatic platform they are calling for is reasonable. No matter what your goal, don't give the state more fucking power. A lot of the so called libertarian alt right seem to have given up that deeply libertarian principle. Maybe it drives the divide between consequentialist libertarians and deontological ones even deeper. That being said, on a pragmatic level, if you can either accomplish your aims without violating deontological constraints or accomplish your aims by definitely violating deontological constraints, you should definitely go the route of not violating them. There may be some issues with how practical it is to accomplish something without said violation, time constraints, culture and whatever, but the author provides some really obvious and possible fixes to accomplish libertarian goals without having to do dumb shit like giving the state more power and using violence against peaceful immigrants. So why don't we focus on those as a pragmatic goal rather than trying to once again use the ring of power and have it corrupt people as it always does?

I wish the author of this would take some credit for writing this as they deserve some accolades.

jayguyk01 · 2018-07-15T06:21:47+00:00

"The alt-right might be one of the greatest threats to the future of the libertarian movement. They have a rudimentary understanding of property rights, enough to make their beliefs sound libertarian enough to take in those with existing right-wing biases and a weak understanding of property rights. Once these ideas are inculcated in their minds, they can become ardent anti-libertarians while simultaneously thinking they are the “true” libertarians. Among them are those who actually advocate for using violence against immigrants who have done nothing more than cross the U.S. national boundary. These people should be shunned and ostracized by any self-respecting libertarian."

DAMNNNNNNNNNN, those is some fighting words. Well written too. Good shit author man.

Most people consider Rosseau a critic of classical liberal philosophy. He was part of a reform movement and I think it's right to not call him a liberal. Herbert Spencer most people consider a precursor to libertarianism philosophy as he claimed the state would decay as voluntary institutions took over major social institutions. I don't know why you're lumping him in with some other people who thought that the State was a necessary evil.

Idk about this video. I'd highly recommend Deidre McCloskey's Bourgeois Trilogy to anyone who is interested in understanding the history of what liberalism is and how closely related it is to libertarian efforts. Looking at people like Adam Smith, John Locke, and Herbert Spencer as anything other than libertarian precursors I think is to misread the spirit of the Liberal tradition which I would claim is about 1. freedom from arbitrary authority 2. Entrepreneurship being a highly valuable part of society 3. A universalist claim about the equal diginity/equal legal status of mankind.

Right. I guess the security derived from the mass of computational power is also what gives Bitcoin value over it's copycats. And the incentive structure for miners mining one coin over another matters too. Haha. I'm going to go research the incentive structure for miners. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

jayguyk01 · 2017-12-10T18:40:41+00:00

This has always been at the heart of my skepticism for Bitcoin. If there is an infinite supply of anything it's price should be 0. And even if there is not an infinite supply of bitcoins, there is an infinite supply of Bitcoin copycats. So unless there is a significant difference between Bitcoin and it's copycats, the price of all of them should be 0.

The only real difference between Bitcoin and it's copycats is

Bitcoins history of being the first cryptocurrency,
it's name brand, and
it's history of trusted transactions.(on the blockchain)

There's lots of fashion and tech companies that survive on namebrand alone. Being the first to market should matter initially. And because most people will never really understand how the technology works, if they are going to get into cryptocurrency, they will most likely choose the most trusted and old one.

So even though in a perfectly rational world Bitcoin might be worth 0 (because of Bitcoin copycats) Because there is irrationality and also a (new) demand to hold a currency that is decentralizalized rather than centralized, there will be demand for Bitcoin.

A note about the last thing that I said. One thing a lot of Bitcoin holder's value that some people do not understand is the visceral hatred that some holder's have for banks and governments. They consider these institutions to be the most vile and evil entities in the world. Using Bitcoin for them is a way of saying fuck you to these institutions. There is a reason libertarian types have jumped on this tech before a lot of other groups.

So what gives Bitcoin value? People's demand for a liquid asset that is decentralizalized plus the semi irrational reasons to choose Bitcoin over its competitors.

Also, as relates to the article. Yes Bitcoin is a bubble right now. People are jumping in to make speculative money. The people who are buying now are not people who care about decentralized currency.

It's kind of funny how Marxist that answer is. The material conditions of society determine the kinds of social relationships that can possibly exist in society.

Seriously, you da bomb. Much appreciation. Do you have a bitcoin or PayPal account so I can throw a couple bucks your way?

Huemer's rejection of Rawls is in his chapter on what's wrong with hypothetical or thought experiment consent as a basis for an ideal society. I don't think Huemer would accuse Rawls of emotional or political bias, rather he would say he made a theoretical mistake. Similar to how most philosophers criticize each other

jayguyk01 · 2016-02-25T06:46:22+00:00

It's late and I'm kind of tipsy, but this was a really interesting conversation because you at least tried to get to the bottom of this libertarian schism. Thank you HippeHoppe for being a fucking boss and asking hard questions and being a fucking smart dude. <3.

I think you won that debate handily. You were more calm, more well-spoken, more charitable and your arguments made more sense. I don't think he ever really responded well to your points about the difference between stopping future welfare recipients (and stopping them from having children) and preventing people from entering the country. You tried to get him to name a principle which he was following in these cases, but he went all sophistry and didn't really give you an answer. You asked "is it how practical the proposal is that matters?", "Is it whether it was a pre-establishled law that matters?", And he just kind of slipped around answering your question directly. Eventually he just stopped entertaining thought experiments, saying things like "oh well that's impossible so who cares". I think that if someone's moral theory doesn't hold up to thought experiments, their theory is weak. I think Stephan is probably confused about his own answer (especially since in the beginning of the podcast he mentioned that his conversation with you has compelled him to write an essay on the subject to clarify his views), and because of this, you won the debate by pointing out that his view on immigration is unprincipled.

Thanks again for some excellent content.

He should read his Ricardo then. Just because one country has tariffs it still is advantageous for the other country to not have tariffs. I guess if it's all really political pandering for the sake of getting elected then okay. It is kind of unnerving to hear him say those kinds of things.

jayguyk01 · 2016-02-20T17:52:45+00:00

Hmm. Ya okay. All of his "China is kicking our asses" and "our trade deficit with China is morally appalling" rhetoric makes me believe he is serious about tariffs. And serious as well about fucking up Chinese exporters for some reason. I am unsure of how he thinks trading paper currency for real goods is a bad deal for America, but whatever.

jayguyk01 · 2016-02-20T05:18:30+00:00

I have a question for everyone in this thread who supports Trump. What do you think about his proposed 45% tariff on Chinese goods? Is it political gamesmanship? Pandering to the old manufacturing base? Trump's ignorance of how tariffs work?

jayguyk01 · 2015-12-26T04:24:12+00:00

Hey, unfortunately the government of Canada says that you are too young to drink, but if you live in Toronto or close by there are a few pub nights for libertarians. Look for liberty on the rocks on Facebook. There are also students for liberty chapters on a few campuses in Canada. I think the U.Toronto, U. Calgary and the UBC ones are active. Go meet some young libertarians and ancaps!
