spent the summer (aust winter) in the states this year with some american work colleagues. Could not believe how low service industry wages were. No tips = no rent for some of people I spoke to.
crazy system. Massive food portions for so cheap. Half the portions, increase wages as a start.
Had some funny conversations in the south with people who didn't support a medicare type system and who hated that obama was pursuing one. Eye opening experience how uninformed about their own nation some of these folks were.
Wouldn't want to get sick or live in the states!
still though - great place to visit.
