If US restaurants and patrons already expect to tip 20% then the restaurants should add that to the cost of every item, increase wages, and abolish tipping as a thing.

Restaurants that can't afford that don't have a viable business.

Patrons that can't afford that shouldn't be dining out.

seanm,

@jerry that's a fair point. No one wants to go first.

It seems that the market either needs incentives for businesses to change or do something along the lines of revoking the minimum wage exception for tipped staff (this wouldn't directly resolve the raising all costs by 20%, though).

This article from the EFF seems naive at best. They argue that Tier 1 ISPs should not police speech, which is fair, but their proposed solution is to just let hate sites sit around and radicalize people, then have the law deal with the few who cross the line between protected speech and criminal harassment.

Below is an extensive list of all the times 'just throw more cops at the problem' has solved anything:

  1. literally not once ever.
  2. See 1.

seanm,

@malwaretech this is the correct call by the EFF.

Look at what's happened in the financial sector when backbone payment processors cave to government and societal censorship demands. Sex workers have almost zero methods to use modern financial systems, including for legal work and activities.

Offensive systems should be handled at the root by pressuring their service providers. DNS providers can also refuse to resolve hostnames for inappropriate content.

The solution isn't simply send the cops. There are other levers that can be applied.

Also, improving privacy laws and data handling. Activities such as doxxing would be more difficult if data brokers and services were held liable and could collect less data.
