I totally agree that these people deserve to earn money, but I believe that tipping the mean time exacerbates the issue, and now were seeing these companies go public with makes the societal issues permanent. I would say it's akin to Walmart depending on food stamps to justify their labor economics. Without that unofficial government subsidy Walmart would not be as powerful or be able to offer lower prices, etc... In merit and morality I agree, these are nice, hard working people that choose a profession that cannot meet their financial needs. I don't have an perfect answer for it either, I just see the glaring elephant in the room.
