Those with higher income levels are the ones deciding to have less kids, whereas those with the lowest incomes are the ones having more. Source
If people are being forced into not having children for economic reasons, wouldn't it be the opposite?
But I don't disagree about it being in the best interest of my future children not to exist with the way things are heading lol.
Doesn't work too well when everyone voting intends to be among the top 10% themselves and no one at all wants to be in the lower 50%. Sorry, but I'm super cynical these days because I (and everyone else in the developed world) learned all about global warming in detail 25+ years ago in elementary school. We knew what it was, what caused it, and how to prevent it... but no one did anything and instead we added 2 billion people to the total population since then. The awareness is already there, but no one is willing to come up with any meaningful implementable solutions because the actual solution is simply lowering emissions overall which people do not want to do.
Probably by, you know, comparison...
I don't understand how it is enforced, or even could be enforced, in practice. A quick Google indicates they can get away with it if they all do it at once (as in all the grocery stores corps).
Regardless, I can list a dozen eggs for sale and price them at $55000.
For example: For anyone interested I am selling 12 eggs for $55k. Free shipping. DM for details.
I'm not kidding. Will legit send eggs to anyone anywhere in North America. Just PayPal me.
Edit: been a few days and the offer still stands. No government officials have messaged me to indicate it's illegal yet lol...because it's not except under very specific circumstances
I just don't understand why they lie about it at all? To avoid losing long term customers?
Raising the price of goods to increase profits isn't illegal. It's just risky for the business if they lose customers to other places with lower prices.
They will raise it to whatever people will pay. Always. I don't understand why anyone would even consider what they claim they did it for. They did it for more money, which is exactly what I would do if I ran a for profit business too. If I wanted to help people out of the goodness of my heart, I'd volunteer at a food bank, not start a grocery chain.
Don't even need to go to the bar. Just get drunk while driving around the neighborhood until you pass out.
The way it stands right now, where base wages are not sufficient, is specifically because of tipping. Until people stop tipping, employers will continue to use it to subsidize wages that they should be paying. Whereas if people stopped tipping, the employers could not do that.
The reason they won't pay is specifically because people tip.

This was actually the first comment I made and then copy pasted to the other one as it applies to both. Regardless, the internal trends are the same. Here's a source for USA. Sorry if that doesn't fit your worldview.
