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.
