They're right though. Australia covers this method (offering rebates for people using it) but in their reviews of it they didn't see it actually having any effect. http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/p

How is this going to affect how often I get asked to tip? I want to see less tipping, not more. Square seems to be one of the primary offenders in introducing bribery to transactions where I don't really want to rate how much I was ple

An unsurprising number of Navy nukes re-enlist from the Persian Gulf. That $60k+ re-enlistment bonus is tax-free if you sign in a war zone. Also, for people who joined the military out of high school, the private sector is frightening.
