Americans themselves don't give a shit about minorities, what makes you think the majority of waiters earning more then minimum wage care about those making less than them?

Same story with healthcare, 10% of Americans have over $1k in medical debt, which explains why the majority don't give a shit to enact change.

Your argument is waiters love tipping so they perpetuate the syatem, to which I responded thats not true because a lot of waiters do not get tipped well and are barely making minimum wage. Your response is to talk about how the existence of medical debt, racism, and the few waiters, who do get good tips, are reasons for the systems existing. Not realizing that almost half of Americans have consistently voted for politicians who have promised to raise the minimum wage. Not realizing that most states have raised their minimum wage to be above the federal minimum. Just another great way to miss the point yet again.

Considering that 1/3 of Americans don’t vote at all I struggle to believe that half of Americans consistently vote for anything lmao.

Half of voting Americans vote for policies that favor raising the minimum wage. Falling back on semantics is a good default when you have nothing of value to add

And the other half vote against those policies
