The US doesn’t have minimum wage for some jobs, which is why tipping is a thing there. I never tip here because we don’t have that problem.
Which side of the road you drive on doesn’t really make any difference to anyone’s lives. Not properly paying a large section of the population does effect lives. That, and harassing customers for money is no way to run a business I don’t find it an acceptable behaviour.
I agree with you that people should know the customs of the country they are going to, but I think most Europeans especially the continental ones expect America to have the same kind of employee protections that we have as you claim to be the best country ever at everything.
And yes, America is the only current superpower, but it isn’t nearly as important or as powerful as most Americans like to make out. One example of this is the terrible foreign relations, everybody hates you. Britains position in both the Commonwealth, and currently the EU gives it soft powers that America doesn’t have at the moment. It is much easier to travel to most countries with a British passport than an American one, why do you think this is?
The way I imagined this is where wishes would take the path of least resistance, like if you wished to end hunger then it would make it so people can’t eat, rather than making enough food for everyone.
Thats why I wished for money, you could be very specific about how it is generated and you could then use it for an good or bad cause you wished (at the cost of inflation if you spent a lot of it).

In Europe, if employees are not being paid properly, then it’s their responsibility to take up the issue with their employer, it’s not the customers resonsibility to pay them. I don’t understand how this goes unchallenged over there in the US.
Why would you assume that Europeans would know your customs? I think if they are visiting the US, they should be familiar with these things but I don’t think most people do.
$5 is an expensive pint already, they are cheaper than that here in the UK, and we have a higher minimum wage and a much higher tax on alcholol. It sounds like the employer is just profiteering in this example.

So you’re saying we should overthrow Martin’s tyranny?
You can have freedom of speach without democracy.
Where does democracy come into this?
