@paulschoe@mastodon.world well, the grocery delivery businesses don't pay their delivery people enough cuz they're considered independent contractors, so it's important to tip them...

@SingsongRaptor@mastodon.art I know. For Europeans, it is unbelievable that US companies can be profitable; their owners sometimes billionaires, while their workers need food assistance (SNAP, food stamps) to survive. A minimum wage should be a livable wage. The USA has one of the most ridiculous forms of socialism in the world: the government subsidises profitable companies with food stamps for their workers, so the companies can pay more to their shareholders. #USA #Socialism #Wage #LivableWage
