I can’t believe I’m siding with the South Park guys here

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.

This kind of intransigence seems to me to show an inability for nuance and intellectual abstraction. Personally, I think it's this kind of attitude that has led to political cleavage and radicalization in recent years, and ultimately to the popularity of monstrous figures like Trump.
I think right-wing propaganda, like TV shows watched by children that tell the viewer climate change isn't real, trans people are monsters and it's okay to use homophobic slurs, is much more heavily responsible for the rise of Trump, actually
If you think SP is right-wing progaganda, you are as intellectually deep as people who think school are full of drag-queens. You really really didn't get the point of the episode on trans and slurs.
No you're just carrying water for bigots.
Every one of the episodes ends with a sanctimonious lecture about how people who care are just as bad as bigots and the morally correct stance is to do whatever you want and if anybody gets offended they're an idiot.
The Trans episode was literally "being Trans is the same as somebody who wants to be black so they're good at basketball or a guy who wants to be a dolphin"
