Where do you think most HN posters live?
- CivBase 6y agoFrom what I have seen, all over the world. You're probably implying that most HN users live in CA, OR, and WA where tipping wages are not legal. Hopefully you're not referring to the NYC area. NYC tipping wage is $5/hr less than minimum. NY state is almost $4/hr under. NJ and MA are more than $7/hr under. DE and RI are more than $6/hr under. MD is more than $5/hr under. PA is more than $4/hr under. CT isn't too bad, though, at within $2/hr under. Somehow I doubt you're implying most HN users live in HI, IA, or ND - the only other states with legal tipping wages within $3/hr of minimum. I also doubt you're implying most HN users live in AK, MN, MT, or NV - the only other states without legal tipping wages. Not that it matters. Even if the overwhelming majority of HN users lived in a west coast state (maybe it used to be that way, but I'm skeptical of that now), most HN users also probably don't work as restaurant staff. A bad thing isn't less bad just because it doesn't directly affect you. Do you have an actual point to make against anything I've said?
