I can’t believe I’m siding with the South Park guys here
(hexbear.net)
Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.
Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.
Its a really fucking stupid show most of the time though
Yea who gives a fuck if they "discuss issues other wouldnt" if their take away is always the exact same, which is if you care strongly about anything one way or thenother you're as bad as the other side and the correct approach is to do whatever you want and anybody who tries to make you feel bad about that is the real dummy.
Well, here's a clear-cut and poorly explained opinion. Not much to help move things forward. Anyway, I disagree. Even when I don't agree with some of the show's ideas, their ideas are never simplistic and it has the merit of forcing me to think about why and how I disagree, which is already more than 95% of the uncompromising content you find these days.
Theres no explanation to have, its a stupid fucking show that mostly just propaganda for white libertarians
Well, as you seem to hold all the absolute truths, I'll leave you with your certainties and continue to believe that complex subjects often have complex answers, and that the world is cruelly lacking in intellectual nuance. I also suggest you look up what propaganda really means.
I am very sorry for whatever life circumstances and/or choices have lead to you thinking that south park is a nuanced and intelligent show. In 2023 no less.
It's a cartoon made for edgy-brained cable TV watchers, most of whom started watching it when they were literal children.
The main message of the show is that those edgy brain dead cable TV watchers are smarter than anybodybwho cares strongly about a topic in wither direction.
N word? People who get really upset and don't think white people should say it are the same as virulent racists.
Climate change? People who think it's real might be right but they're so I sufferable its better to do nothing.
Political correctness? The greatest threat facing our country in the caliber year 2016. If you think people should be politically correct you're the same as a racist Trump supporter.
You can see why the dumbest people in the world think it's a smart show, because the show told the dumbest people in the world they've actually got it all figured out.
South Park is for juvenile contrarians and baby brained libertarians. There nothing complex about it.
Starting to think the ML in Lemmy.ml stands for machine learning, because there's no way an adult human writes like this
Sorry for sounding like an AI to you. I actually speak 4 langages, doing my best to translate my thoughts in english because people like you cant understand anything else.
Congratulations.
You're on a Marxist forum with users all over the world, not Reddit.
Being multilingual isn't fucking special, most of the world is, and most of our users are.
If you think the ideas presented in South Park aren't simplistic then that's a problem with you and not everyone else
