WHAT NEXT TBD
Just Heard on the News: “The IRS goes after the workers who are in poverty, lower class income and middle class, because it’s easier.” “But, they rarely go after the very wealthy.” “If you make $200,000 to a zillion annually, the paperwork is too much and too difficult thus they’re okay if anything goes wrong, deliberately or not.” “If you make $27,000 annually, then you are basically screwed if you’ve made an error.” *** *** How much of that is the truth? The Tipping Episode My thoughts: Always Tip your beauticians, Food and/or Beverage Cocktail servers, Casino Dealers etc. Oh, Is it 15%/20% of the gross or the net? About each State/Store/Restaurant etc have different requirements or policies regarding how much money the employees are paid especially when they receive tips or tokes. I AM GLAD I LIVE WHERE I DO, BECAUSE SOME OTHER STATES ARE GOOFY. The Federal minimum wage for a tipped employee is $2.13 an hour or less in some states. States / Places may boost it up but then some don’t. It’s been $2.13 for how long? Exactly. Minimum Wage including tips isn’t a much of a living. And it gets worse: Lowering the OVERHEAD by extracting employees to make the executives proud 💴 . Why? “””Manipulation, Greed and that’s how its always been done.””” ie., “”Unfortunately people had to be laid off due to some positive changes via corporate or whatever.”” ie., in a restaurant, The Manager says to the staff during a “FREE LUNCH Meeting.” after the terminations, “It’s a sad day for them but let’s think positive — Having the best servers in the restaurant YEAH YEH, YES, BRAVO, CONGRATULATIONS etc., and the best can handle taking 8 tables in lieu of 4. To basically double tips. Does not work that way. Going home tired and sore. It’s crazy. That’s some hypothetical scenarios of what happens. I need to get off the phone. Crazy

The new format is great and the content is exactly what I want to hear. I’ve started replacing my New York Times morning with What’s Next.

This was a simple, spare, elegant piece of analysis that covered a highly emotional subject with respect for those involved.
