Tipped staff as a percent of the workforce is very small. If I read his proposal correct it’s tips anywhere rather than a specific industry as well. That means in my mind a lawyer could say this is my rate that’s really low and then I have an option for a Tip. While the tip has to be voluntary it would be hard for the IRS to prove if it was agreed upon prior. So it could be really manipulated rather than help a larger percentage of people. Simply raising minimum wage or expand the standard deduction would go further I’d think.

Just like when he promised to donate to end world hunger to the world food bank and then backed out.

Unfortunately, a majority of comments I’ve seen online on that interview say Harris couldn’t stop talking about trump or couldn’t answer any question she was asked. Absolutely amazing to me the difference here.

The 3rd world country with a Gucci belt*

It’s funny to me that the Trump ticket is pushing this they are for the everyman and against elites…they are the elites. You can’t get more elite than a billionaire and silicon valley VC guy.

I doubt down ballot canidates are getting much monetary support either bc Lara trump being installed ensues all money goes to Don.

You can go back even to 2016 where he was laying the ground work to say he didn’t lose to Hilary and then he won and I think it shocked him a bit. He’s always been like this though across everything.

You are correct on multiple things. it’s all bathrooms and I, as a normal American, don’t care.

Just funny to watch the straw grasping here from the GOP to attack rather than actually have a policy plan.

The issue is they are twisting it and saying they forced schools to put them in boys bathrooms to ramp up the transphobia.

They are doing a project in Vegas to do a loop, but it only holds Tesla’s… So maybe close?

I think speak for everyone when I say… We all hate how long the us election news cycle is

Eastern Oregon is also going through a bunch of fires so itll be interesting to see if some pull out of Oregon too.

I think the cybertruck was supposed to be a test platform but then they got too into it. I think they will discontinue it at some point

Wish that this wasn’t happening now and it was more of a discussion months ago, but both parties doubled down on their aging candidates. Hoping the disinformation campaigns can be overcome though and Dems are successful bc plan 47/project 2025 legit terrify me.

It is legitimate, but they also need to realize Trump would do the exact same. Trump’s even made comments how isreal should finish the job faster.

I don’t, in musk’s mind it’s probably buying a favor so Tesla is excluded from subsidies removal. They’d find another way to get Musk more federal funds by saying their only a tech company and working on AI or some shit like that.

The TikTok comments too on anything Biden posts are literally all the same thing so definitely a bot farm at work

If your company has PTO hours and you leave your job in Texas they don’t require you get paid out those hours so they are just lost. My coworker learned that. Absolutely need better worker protections across the board and Non-competes getting tossed is huge.

My two cents: The average American has a literacy rate of 7th-8th grade and not only does Trump talk to that level he also repeats things constantly so people can remember it. Couple that with all conservative biased media constantly blasting the same messages people believe Trump was looking out for them. Compare to Hilary who has been painted as out of touch with voters and courting high value donors since Bill was president and the Bernie thing she needed to capture more independents but she didn’t.

Agree. None of these CEOs have any groundbreaking ideas either. It’s all the same strategies for short term profits rather than longer sustainable growth.
