Disintermediation means cutting out the middleman, and that, among many other things, is what Medicare For All does. The post THE PUMP DON’T WORK, ‘CAUSE THE VANDALS TOOK THE HANDLES appeared first on The Moderate Voice.

Fox Backfires Again: Asking Audience About Restaurant Tips	12.10.2019	Crooks Liars
You'd think everyone on Fox News would know better than to continue to ask their audience about anything. Remember the backfire when they asked a live audience to proclaim love for private insurance? It happened again, this time about tipping waitstaff at restaurants.

Syndicated columnist Michelle Singletary wrote a really good column on "tipping 20% no matter what." I highly recommend you go read it. Singletary says she used to feel that as a customer she had a "right" to deduct from a restaurant tip if the service or food was low quality. She's come around to believe that (a) no other worker has their pay deducted when they have a bad day, and (b) that it's the restaurant industry that shifts the burden of wages onto the customer that is at fault. Singletary also had advice for how to deal if you have poor service or a problem with the food. (Short answer: speak ...
