  1. "You can't make this up" she says as she making things up. It astounds me how all those "journalists" could unashamedly lie like that.

  2.  @johnnyfavorite1194  If you're vulnerable, like I am, 70 years old, somewhat overweight and diabetic, STAY HOME. I don't expect you to protect me, although it's nice if you do, because I can do what's necessary, and recommended, to protect myself. I sit outdoors, in my backyard, to maximise my intake of vitamin D. I'm eating better and exercise to lose some weight. I'm self isolating and I've fully vaccinated. I've done everything possible to protect myself from Covid. I've done that so the rest of you can go about your lives as normally as possible. Go to work, support your families, enjoy the life that is so fleeting and precious and don't rob our young of their youth. It'll only happen once and the fact that I'm elderly and facing my demise....as we all will, doesn't mean that YOUR life is over as well.

  4. kai sanders You tip because if you don't, they'll have to pay them a decent, living wage. That means your food bill goes up to cover the cost of increased wages. Tipping keeps that increased cost an option and NOT forced on you if the service is bad. Tipping also encourages the server to try to do everything possible to make your meal a pleasant experience. You don't have to tip poor service and, as a server myself, I would encourage you to not tip a bad server. It's how they make their living and if they see that others are making more money, they will either be forced out of the business or change their attitude so they can do better. You don't have to tip. It's still up to you. Enforce a no tipping rule and what used to be covered by tips will be hidden in your final bill and it will leave no incentive for a server to be the best that they can be. In the end it will cost you MORE money to get poorer service.

  5.  @pavango3812  If they're working to pay bills and put food on the table, that means that they have a JOB. Do you know what every citizen of the United States that has a JOB possesses? A Social Security number. You have to have it to pay income tax and to file your income to get a tax return. A Social Security number is all you need to apply for a mail in ballot in Georgia. So your "working to pay bills and put food on the table" trope is pure nonsense.

  6.  @dangreene9846  45% of those, infected with Covid, in my district, are 100% vaccinated. Another 5% have 1 vaccination. It's almost as if getting vaccinated makes a big difference. This entire thing is what hypochondriacs live for.

  7. "They should have been able to bake that bread. We gave them the flour. We may have to discipline the worst of those bakeries. Put them out of business. That'll give the remaining bakeries the incentive to work harder" That's been the recurring theme in all socialist nations. My brother was in the USSR in the late seventies. He was in a cab in Moscow when it started raining. Every vehicle stopped dead and the drivers got out of their cars to fix windshield wipers in place. When my brother asked for an explanation, the cabbie explained that there are only so many windshield wipers made each year and they always run out. So people will steal wipers any chance they get. To prevent that, people were taking the wipers off the car, when it wasn't raining so the wipers aren't stolen. That's socialism for you.

  8. Good question. My sister lived in the US for years, illegally, before she was finally caught and shipped back to Canada. She's a red head and as white as can be. Skin colour was not the issue at all. She didn't go through the proper channels that we ALL have to go through. It's really strange how you and I can know that but the media types don't seem to get it. Anyway, don't go to the US. You're a lot better off here in Canada.

  9.  @pavango3812  So what you're saying is that a little voter fraud is okay by you. Did you know that there have been elections that were tied? Or won by only 1 or 2 votes? Wouldn't "a few cases" of voter fraud have effected THOSE elections? Both Canada and Mexico require voters to show ID as do countries in Europe. Are they suppressing votes? Weak arguments for something that every adult already has. Everyone has ID and the new laws will allow you to get an ID, in Georgia, FREE. If you don't have the ambition to get that ID before 2022, that's YOU'RE OWN FAULT.

He represents what we should all aspire to be. Humble, wise with an inner strength and determination. If all Americans were like him, there would not be any ghettos. There's too many like you, filled with anger and resentment and totally lacking in wisdom or comprehension.

  12.  @pavango3812  I know that this is going to sound redundant but.....a BIG BUT......you need ID to work. You need a social security number. If you don't have one, you can't file your income taxes. You could have thousands of dollars owing to you and you can't get it because YOU DON'T HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. What kind of an idiot would do that? If you're working and you don't have a SS#, you're working illegally. You can't pay taxes. A drug dealer or a pimp doesn't need an SS#. A clerk at a 7/11 has one. If you want a drink, just one, you need ID. You need it to buy cigarettes. You need ID to open a bank account. To pick up a package at the Post Office, YOU NEED ID. If, for some weird reason, like you've never worked, had a bank account, have never smoked or drank alcohol, never travelled so you don't have a passport, don't have a driver's licence, never had a student card, never applied for welfare, have never needed to see a doctor, never had a Credit Card, never used food stamps or have NEVER, in your life, had to prove who you are....you can STILL get an ID, FREE of charge, from the Georgia government. If you can't get a FREE ID before the 2022 election, then I'm sorry to accuse you of not wanting to vote all that badly. This idea that needing to show ID suppresses voting is the most spurious argument that I've heard in a long time and deep down you know it. This is all about tribal politics. In fact, the claim that showing ID to vote is the real racist claim. Black people aren't little children. They do the same things that everyone else does. They're cops, doctors, teachers, mailmen, nurses, store clerks, government workers, carpenters and accountants.....JUST LIKE WHITE PEOPLE. They're adults. Quit treating them like children.

  14.  @Kefka2010  There are an estimated 12 million illegals in the US. If you put them all in one state, it would be around the 75th most populated country in the world. That's more people than Hungary, Belgium, Greece or Portugal. It is a serious problem. Also, Germany did not do that. They never had an immigration problem and they weren't looking for people that were living in Germany illegally and then deporting them. They stole everything that legal citizens of Germany possessed, put them in work and concentration camps because they were of Jewish heritage. My sister was a white Canadian, living illegally in the US. She was stopped by a police officer and had nothing that showed she was in the US legally nor did she have a passport. She was subsequently deported and it was the right thing to do. She couldn't hide behind the fact that she wasn't the right colour, didn't speak the language or any other excuse. The officer is a Border control agent. That's his job. What's the point of having immigration agents is they're not allowed to do their job. He let them go as soon as he verified that they weren't illegals. He did his job.

  16. Just what I, as a parent, want to see happen at my children's school. I want people, that I barely know, to recommend sexually explicit material to my children. "Hey Johnny....wanna see some fun stuff? Don't tell your parents, though". Do you know how the kids will react? "My teachers are so cool and my parents suck." Exactly what I intended my kids to react and conclude during their educational journey. (can't help the sarcasm)

  18. If Goldberg was such a concerned citizen, he should have contacted that group immediately, with fears that others, without clearance were also contacted so that this chat couldn't go on with insecure and dangerous people listening in. But he didn't. He used it to further his own career and national security be damned until he got out of it what he wanted and needed to further is own career goals and political agenda. He wanted the worst possible outcome of this breach to maximise his own career. That's my conclusion and I don't think that I'm too far off the mark. He shouldn't have waited no longer than 10 minutes to report the problem to the proper authorities. After the breach was sealed, THEN he could have publishes his story.

  19. If you go to the 8:55 mark, where Joe says that he won't keep Trump's tariffs, you can see just how far he has slipped since 2020. He was already slipping then but it's gotten do much worse, since then. Americans, in fact the entire world, should be concerned about Biden's mental state. It's sad when this happens to people, including Biden, but facts are facts. We can't wish Biden's health to improve.

  20.  @pavango3812  The topic is Georgia's new voting laws. Also, my ex-wife didn't have ID because she never worked. However, when we got married she had to dig up a birth certificate to prove who she was when we applied for a marriage licence. I'm sure that there are 3 million Americans that have never worked but if you are working, you must have a Social Security Number because you MUST pay income tax. It's the law. You can't pay income tax without that SS# or you can't fill out your income taxes. That's against the law as well. You have to file for income tax, if you work, or face legal repercussions. There are reasons that a person might not have an ID but, and a BIG BUT, if you can't get an ID, something that would be useful anyway, before the next election, almost 2 years away, voting isn't all that important to you. If fact, you've probably spent more time arguing with me than the time it would take to apply for a valid ID in Georgia.

  21.  @pavango3812  You don't feel like it because you have no real argument and you know it. Did you also know that 80 million eligible voters didn't vote in 2020? About 80 million voters out of 233 million eligible voters. That means that 230 million of those voters have ID, using YOUR numbers. If you don't have ID, you don't want one. If 230 million eligible voters can get ID and I'm sure that the rest of the 330 million Americans have ID, as well, the 3 million that don't have it are living outside the American experience. WAY outside and I refuse to believe it's because they're oppressed and you've done nothing to prove that that they are.

  22.  @pavango3812  Also, there's now talk about getting a vaccine ID so you can do ordinary things like going to concerts and ball games or even to go to the store. Are you going to fight that, too if it becomes mandatory?

  23. So....for thirty years, Jorge didn't break the law.....except for that illegal immigrant thing. He didn't break the law. So what? That's what you're supposed to do. You don't get brownie points for doing what is required of you. You do it because it is the right thing to do and is how we all create a civilised society. When he filled out the forms, incorrectly, he should have gotten another lawyer, did what was asked of him, and he could have been an American citizen, right now. Instead, he ignored procedure (would that be breaking the law?) and basically procrastinated, until the law and fate finally caught up with him. Suddenly, it's Trump's fault that he didn't follow procedure. Maybe he should take a good look at himself. Had he done the right thing when he reached adulthood, none of this would be happening. He'd be happily blowing leaves and plowing snow in Michigan right now. Sorry, Jorge. All you have to do is follow procedure. There are 45 million people in the US that were born in other countries, living legally in the US, right now. If 45 million people can follow those procedures, so can you. You created your own problems.

  24. kai sanders If the restaurant is keeping the tips, they're being dishonest and may even be breaking the law. I'm a bartender and I will guarantee you that almost every server will fight hard against taking away their tips. Although it's against the law now, I know of places where the servers made their living with NO wage and people would do anything to work there. It was the do gooders that insisted that they got an hourly wage. I know some places will put the tip on the bill and I don't like that practise. However, most places don't do that and it's a customer option to tip and serving staff make an excellent living on the tipping practise. Take away tipping and they make minimum wage.....that's all. If that doesn't bother you, that's fine but the people that depend on it for a living will strongly disagree. I know for a fact that EVERY server I know will tell the woman in this video to mind her own business and leave it alone and that will include minorities, as well.

  25. gwanael34 You could pay us, like anyone else, but most of us would take a substantial drop in pay. This has to be the only occupation in which well meaning people actually want to take away money from a working class and disguise it as empathy towards their plight. We're not asking for this change. If YOU don't want to tip, DON'T. My life won't change that much if you, as an individual, don't want to tip me. You'll save some money and you can blame poor service, lack of funds or even some kind of social conscience. Just don't tell us what is good for us. We can figure that out for ourselves.

  26.  @Kefka2010  I'm Canadian. There are a little over 35 million of us. We have a tacit agreement that we will work together under certain principles and guidelines to build for ourselves a better life. Part of that is setting policy for immigration that would best suit our Canadian association so that it benefits all within that association. Without guidelines, immigration could run amok and a country could be overwhelmed socially and economically. Worse, we'd lose control over you would enter and if their intentions were good or bad. That's why we insist on applications to immigrate here, a resume, if you will. That's all we ask. That's all the American government asks. However, illegals don't want to apply. They just want to enter. It'd be like a new employee insisting that he doesn't have to submit a resume. Just start working and get paid, whether qualified or not. They want to come and we have to provide them with the means to survive until they get on their feet.....if ever. What a great idea. Also, I have been to the States and have had to show my ID, a number of times. I had to show my passport and once I left it behind and my dad (he had his) had to go to the place we were staying and get it for me, before they'd let me go. Why were we detained? Ontario plates. I had my Canadian driver licence but that wasn't good enough. It was inconvenient but it wasn't the end of the world. Half hour later I was on my way. It wasn't the end of the world for these ladies either. All they had to do was show their ID and away they went. Not that horrible. They just made a big deal about nothing.

  27.  @diamondsfurez7456  The point of this video and his post isn't about whether waiting tables is glamorous or not. It's about whether it's racist and sexist and that they're being exploited by not being paid a living wage. He's stating that he was paid a very good wage which flies against the claim that waiters don't make a decent wage. I've worked as a bartender for years. No it's not always glamorous and it can be a thankless job, especially for the waiters and waitresses. However, the money is excellent and you meet some great people and that's the reason most of us did it. I also worked construction. The money was good, in fact, it was excellent. However, it wasn't glamorous. It's dirty, hot one day, freezing the next, wet the day after. It's backbreaking at times and the hours are long and customers will treat you like crap and try to take advantage of you. But, the money's good and there is a satisfaction in creating a product that customers find value in. Glamorous jobs are the myth of TV movies and romance novels. Reality is a lot different.

  28.  @diamondsfurez7456  I'm a bartender right now and I'm going to Costa Rica in January. I'm being accompanied 3 other waiting staff. I don't own my own home but they all do. I worked with a guy that bought a beautiful waterfront home which was paid off when he retired. If you work at a moderately successful business and get in 30 hours a week, you'll do just fine and as well as any factory worker. I've worked a 7 hour Friday night shift and have taken home almost 400 dollars in tips. Right now, I make minimum wage. If you upped my hourly to minimum wage, I wouldn't make 1 cent more and if that were to take the place of tips, I would take a huge cut in pay. The biggest issue waiting staff have isn't how much they make while working but how owners won't give them enough hours. Most waiting staff are always moving around in attempts to get more hours. I could get by on a 25 hr workweek but anything over 30 is great. I don't think I know any waiting staff that get 40 hours a week which is the norm in manufacturing and construction. Hours are a constant complaint and owners use them to discipline workers or give them shifts that aren't as busy. Exchanging 8 hours of good hours for 8 hours of bad ones could cost you well over 100 dollars. This whole tip thing is just another way for champagne liberals to feel good about themselves without even having to talk to staff any more than they have to. There's a saying among waiting staff. "The size of the tip is directly proportional to the cut of the customer's clothes". What they mean is that the more expensive their clothes, the worse the tip you can expect to receive. Blue collar workers tip the best. Business types are stingy and rude.

  29. I've worked as a bartender for years. Every time I hear the claim that we need to live only on an hourly salary, I lose it....and so does every other server. We do very well, financially, thanks to the customers and we like it that way. It's an incentive to do a good job and to have a friendly rapport with the customers and it's reflected in how well we do in tips. This woman is out of her mind.

  31.  @FlipperRex  They're putting people in jail for memes and cartoons. Why bother with books, which don't have the reach that they did in the thirties, when memes are the way socio-political statements are made today? They're metaphorically burning those memes AND those who post them online. You're ignorant on how to assess the way that history can repeat itself. History repeating itself isn't a point by point replication of the past. It's recognising how new political and cultural conventions can cause people to behave in the same way others did in the history. Nazis burned books. The German government now arrests those spreading memes. Both ways are to control speech and thought through the most important communication methods of the time. So yes....Germans are so afraid of Hitler and Nazism that they're bringing back the Reich.

  32. gwanael34 What the owner of the business I work at makes is NONE of my business. It's his business and I don't get to spend his money or live in his house. I made an agreement with him when I took the job. How much money he made never came up and it doesn't matter anyway. My agreement was that I worked for a certain amount of money and tips and that's what I do. Envy is a vice I try to avoid. In fact, I hope he does make money. It ensures that the business will stay open and I will keep a job I like.

  34. gwanael34 I make, on average about 25 bucks an hour, including tips. I'd never make that much working for a wage in the small pub that I work in. The place would go out of business. So, yes I do care if I make more money. No job, no money. The logic is impeccable, here. I can guarantee you that everyone that I know that works in my field, will tell you the same thing. "Leave the system alone". It's you. You don't want to make the decision on whether to tip or not or how much to tip. In reality, you think that it will lower the cost of going out to eat. You're masking it with a phoney concern for the worker but it's all about you. I'm in the field and have been for years. Don't tell me what I and my colleagues would prefer. We know. You're being stubborn and disingenuous with your attitude and I'm sure it has nothing to do with how much money I make. It's that you don't want to spend it.

  35. gwanael34 Now, you're assuming that I'm using guilt to procure tips. As far as I know I've never served you so how could you know that. Your making assumptions about me and all my colleagues without any knowledge of who we are. You're trying to force an idea on me and telling me that it's for my own good. Well, I like the system as it is now and I've worked under that system since 1989. I think I have a firm grasp on what my working conditions entail. I'll decide what's for my own good. I don't need someone else to tell me. "God protect me from those with good intentions." If you're "good intentions" are unsolicited and unwanted, they're not good intentions.

  39. gwanael34 I know of places where they get no wages at all and people would do anything to work there but no one ever quits. I work as a bartender right now and get paid 12.50 and hour and that's not bad but it's not a living wage where I live. I more than double that most nights and would't be able to live if it weren't for the tips. What small business owner is going to pay 30 bucks an hour for help. These aren't all big conglomerates. I work for a small, hole in the wall pub, owned by a married couple, and it's not a gold mine by any stretch of the imagination. Even at 3 bucks an hour wage, I'd still be approaching at least 18 to 20 bucks an hour on average. Not great but not bad. Like it or not, take away tipping and we WOULD be making sweat shop wages. Anyone that would guilt trip to get tips is a lousy server. A busy establishment attracts customers and we will make up your decision to not tip over the evening. I tip cabbies quite generously as well. I live on a long driveway and this one cabbie would drop me off on the street, even when it was raining. I never tipped him. He told his fellow cabbies I was a cheap SOB and they all laughed at him and told him that it was him that was the lazy SOB and I always tipped them. Next time I drew him as a cabbie, he drove me to my door and I tipped him. I didn't know that he'd been told yet and was informed a couple of weeks later. You get what you pay for and you pay for what you get. You just don't like parting with your money.

  40. Prophet seven I'd say, by reading your comment, that you've never worked in the service industry for a living. I have 14 years in and I'm still there, right now and I'm leaving for my bartending job in 20 minutes. I guarantee you that everyone that I've ever worked with will tell you the same. Leave the system alone. We're doing very well with it the way it is. Notice how it's multi-millionaires, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, that are speaking on our behalf. I never asked them to and I don't want it, either. I work in a small pub and if the owners had to pay me what I make now in wages and tips, they'd be forced to, either lay me off, or shut it down. There's no way they could afford it. I'm no idiot. I see the ring offs at the end of the day and I know, approximately how much they make and they just couldn't do it. All you're doing is shutting down another business and it helps no one.

  41. City folk perception on farming. You put some seeds in the ground, wait for the rain and then collect the big money. Easy stuff and you get to sit outside to watch the crops grow. I forgot. Lots of illegal migrants to pick the crops and rock bottom wages. You can sit and watch them pick tomatoes and cucumbers and sing folk songs. It brings a tear to my eye to think of those traditional values.

Nothing but silence. I'm Canadian. I've read this bill and I'll bet that Sleepy Joe hasn't. Either that or he's just lying.

  43.  @pavango3812  Which would mean that have proper ID to vote would simplify any investigations, if necessary. If would also limit the opportunities for voter fraud. That's what we want. If ID is used, you can't have a political party claiming that certain people, Russians as an example, are walking in and voting and never having to prove who they are. Russians could go to a precinct, pay a heroin addicts money to not vote and then vote in their places and get away with it because he doesn't have to prove who they are.....and then DONALD TRUMP WINS. Much joy and celebrations in all KKK meetings. Champagne for all, that is, if they have ID to prove they're old enough to drink. You're making a ridiculous argument.

  44.  @pavango3812  Canada has ID requirements to vote. No one in Canada complains about it. They take it for granted because they believe that their vote is sacred enough to have that requirement attached to it. Canada isn't the only country. Mexico has the same requirement. The Netherlands requires ID and a voting pass. In Belgium you need voter ID and a letter from municipal administration calling you to vote. France requires a voting card, ID card or passport. This isn't unprecedented. In fact, most countries require them. Mexico has a voting ID card system that have unique security capabilities. https://www.gi-de.com/en/spotlight/identities/voting-id-cards-mexico This is in a country that is poorer than the US and is the number one source of immigrants to the US but every citizen has one. Every citizen that wants to vote, even those living abroad, has this voting card. You're going to have to come up with one hell of a video to explain it to me so it would make sense. I don't see it happening.
