80% of waitresses have experienced sexual harassment. And 70% of male restaurant workers too.

The statements made by restaurant representatives are examples of the way companies twist language and twist logic. They are not literally false, but they deceive by missing the point.

For instance, it is true that there is no (rigid) limit on what employees can receive as a tip. You might, in theory, get a thousand-dollar tip today, and each day for the coming year, then retire. But how likely is that? In practice, the income of most waiters is quite limited.

It is obvious that tipping makes waitresses more vulnerable, because they need to smile even when uncomfortable to get tips from the (mostly male) paying customers.

I wish that tipping were eliminated entirely and waiters received a decent wage.

The bully has nominated a supporter of gerrymandering to head the Census Bureau.

We can expect him to try to help Republicans in future elections by undercounting poor people. That is easy to do — just don't try to find them.

Papua thugs hit refugees with metal poles to drag them away.

Australia and Papua New Guinea have been keeping journalists and aid workers away from the refugees, trying to cover up this violence. The thugs arrested Behrouz Boochani, the refugee journalist who works as a reporter for foreign media, and took him away, evidently with the same purpose.

Keep in mind that none of these refugees ever sought to enter Papua New Guinea. That country agreed to hold them on Australia's behalf.

"Behrouz Boochani exposed Australia's evil on Manus. The shame will outlive us all."

Boochani writes, Manus police pulled my hair and beat me. 'You've damaged our reputation,' they said.

Protests across the US are aimed at convincing a few Republican senators to reject the SCROTUS tax attacks.

Aside from plenty of dooH niboR, the bill also includes a provision that would effectively ban all abortions.
