You're paying extra for labor, since they have to open each item and toss out anything not advertised (manuals, inserts, instructions, etc.).

The tax varies states by state. You could theoretically walk across an imaginary line and pay less for something. There's a big stink going on over goods purchased online right now for this reason.

>>380617417
You dont tip on products, you tip on services, plus U.S. sales tax is like 7.5%, so right off the bat you've got your math wrong. Lastly, nobody in the US uses cash other than the brokest of the broke.

>>380617614

Stop getting cucked by your employer that pay you less than minimum so you have to make up for the rest with tips.

Don't act like it's how things should be.

>>380618475
No one asks you to tip though, it's a courtesy thing to do.
Muslims and niggers are just poor and rude so they don't tip. Simple as that. Whenever I see an American on /v/ that says they don't tip I assume they're a nigger.

Prima does alright and they go out of their way to make their guides look and feel very nice.

I don't buy them for much but they are helpful and nice for some JRPG. I know Ni No Kuni would have been a bitch to find everything without it and it was a really nice guide.

I think there will always be a market for it but it will probably be niche.

Why should I go get a job where I'd make less? That's illogical.
Tipping your servers is basic capitalism. It's rating their performance on the job.

I go above and beyond for my regulars that tip. I give the bare minimum for the ones that stiff every time, because that's all they want. You get what you pay for :^)

>>380615761

Brick and mortar stores always do this the 1st year a successful console is released and the demand of it is higher than the supplies, I remember I had to go around half New York back in 2001 asking in every toys store if they had PS2 units available, and I had to buy one for $600 bundled with some Sports games and some accessories in a mom and pops toy store

No, it's not, only when they perform a service worthy of a tip, when they do their normal fucking job normally they deserve fucking nothing, and you want to work hard to retain partronage not beg for scraps.

>I go above and beyond
Somehow I doubt that, I hear every other lad in the service industry claim then when they're just barely doing their fucking job properly, you'll need more than a hollow claim to convince people otherwise

>I don't do my job properly unless I'm paid extra
Disgusting.

>>380619160
Or how about your rating on performance is the reason you even have a job? Tips, in real life unaffected by political bullshit, are meant for someone who does something above and beyond that you found of such value that you wanted to reward them for it.

Bringing me my food like you're fucking obligated to do is not tip worthy you dumb faggot. Filling my water when it's empty in a timely fashion is not tip worthy you faggot. These are all basics of the job.

Because the literal rest of the world used to live off of WWI reparations that your country paid. Then your country got pissed and elected Hitler, and we felt somewhat responsible. So we wrecked your shit again, but we didn't saddle you with the debt like we should have.

This led to a hyperdependence on the Military industrial complex, and then supporting the cold war, proxy wars like Vietnam/Everything in the middle east ever to justify expanding that complex, which diverted huge chunks of the federal budget to defense at the expense of every other sector and creating an unsustainable rate of spending.

>>380620265
>It's an expression
And like the rest of what you've been saying it's fucking stupid.
Don't be so fucking dishonest, you only go the full 100% for people that pay extra, and slack off when people pay less, you're trying to present working hard as some extra effort which is just incredibly dishonest, trying to further obfuscate that by hiding behind the claim of "it's an expression" is just asinine. Yes, it's an expression, one that you're abusing to try and cover for your misconduct.

>>380620498
I get fair compensation though, you communist niggers never seem to get that.
I make 9.50 an hour from my employer.
I make another .30 per mile I drive
Then I make an average of $10-$15 an hour off tips.
I make quite a good amount of money. The only reason you're triggered is because I stated a fact. Most niggers and Muslims do not tip, and any server will tell you the same. White people usually tip the best, Asians are off and on but usually tip, and niggers almost never tip.

I'm glad the average American thinks I'm making $5/hr, it's what makes service jobs one of the best forms of capitalism in the country and I love it. It encourages me to give my all on the job and it's why everyone I work with is white.
You have no idea how great it is when every single fellow employee is white. It's magical.

>>380621146
So it sounds like you normally give a comfortable 90%, and pull out the extra 10 for those that provide extra compensation. That's fine, what's unacceptable is the claim that you slack off when people don't tip you, especially since you already claim to get fair compensation, unless that's someone else.

>>380622954
Again, you're simplifying far, far too much to have any meaningful discourse on the subject.

Yes, cooking and heat are inseparable but that doesn't mean you can't do anything but cook with heat, or that those are the two factors that determine everything.

No, saying that economic policy can exist in a vacuum is oversimplifying. Your argument is that an economic system should be centralized to be at it's most effective. Using your analogy that's like saying "You can only cook with heat, with the coal rations that the government gives you."

No, but pointing towards China and saying "hurrr centralism failed durrr" when the economic system itself is probably the least of the factors involved in the mess that is China is just completely ridiculous.

The argument that "x happened, y was involved, therefor y caused x" is absurd, shortsighted and far too simplified.

>>380622101

Gee, anon, maybe you should take a simple look at basic economics. You're fine with stating "economies of scale apply but I won't explain why" but demand further argument when someone points out that you forgot the entire rest of the theory?

Texas does this too. I'm on board with this.

>>380623698
>the economic system itself is probably the least of the factors involved in the mess that is China is
The economic system China has is the cause of their problems.

I'm willing to elaborate if questioned, anon, you're comparison is completely flat, you're not trying to have a discussion here you're just trying to be right.

Again, why bother? Why did you come here, why are you posting? You want a pat on the back and some attention from your peers, is that it? Come on lad, either have this discussion or fuck off, this pussyfooting about is pathetic.

>>380623698
Then what do you mean by centralized? A demagogue? A single party? The second you start diversifying from one entity, however you define it, that has the onus of power, you are by definition decentralizing.

Name a successful centralized system that didn't have the same problems of the 4 examples I gave leading to its collapse, and explain why a now basically capitalist in all but name China and the so capitalist they never shut up about it US are the major economic players.

>>380622187

>>380624457
Funny that America, China and even the EU are only major economic powers due to centralization, uniting the states of America, the countries of Europe and the provinces of China under centralized rule.

You really think America would be remotely relevant without the federal government?

I hate the people.
I've lived in a shit neighborhood for the last 5 years surrounded by ghetto people that screech and holler at each other at all hours of the night outside my apartment and blast their bass destroying music from their fucking low-rider cars every fucking hour 24/17.

My name is not important, what is important is what I'm going to do if I have to keep living here much longer.

>>380624865
If your argument is that the articles of confederation were a bad idea, then no shit. Having no power at all isn't even a government. But you just got done saying that the economic system and government were separate entities. The whole fucking point of the US system is that they recognize overcentralization is no better than having totally self-interested small groups. It's a middle ground.

Generally when people say that centralized government would be better (like you said about the US) they are talking about the more extreme centralization, like the examples I listed. If you're saying the opposite extreme is bad, as in I shouldn't have my own currency that is different from the guy next door to me, I agree. That's basically truism.

>>380625112
that's not a solution, that's suggesting what we shouldn't do. What's your solution?

>>380625387
I'm not talking about uniting government, the EU is not a united government (the EU has fuck all to say about sovereign nations, despite how quickly those same nations will point to the EU as a scapegoat if something goes wrong under their own authority) I'm talking about centralizing economic resources.

Again, politics and economics are separate here, not sure why you'd suddenly assume I'd be saying something opposite to what I've been saying all this damn time.

IT. IS. OKAY.

>>380624372
>I'm willing to elaborate if questioned, anon

All I'm seeing is a man who's willing to post "Americans are stupid for not knowing economic theory X" and then gets insulted when someone points out that he doesn't know economic theory Y. He then asks me to explain what Y is when anyone who knows X should know Y by definition if he wasn't taught by an imbecile.

Or in other words, don't get mad at me for doing the exact same thing as you: calling someone economically illiterate with no further explanation.

What problem are you trying to solve? The problem I brought up was the exploitation of the mentally deficient, so what problem are you asking a solution to? The problem of not getting enough tax income?

Because if that's the case the solution is exceedingly simple; raise taxes, it's not a pretty solution, and imbeciles especially love to whine about it, but it's better than the alternative.

>>380625179
I used to live in felony flats off of 82nd. Life is so much better on the west side

Because the EU is not a united government, people can fuck off from it on a retarded uneducated whim because they don't think the economic alliance favors them as much as the other countries. It's already happening.

>>380625687
>Points out he doesn't know
Except you suggested it, that's not the same as pointing it out, furthermore I asked you how it applies, not to explain the concept itself.

Maybe try actually reading the things people say to you anon, because this is a fucking waste of time.

>Don't get mad at me for doing the same as you
First off, I'm not, if anything I'm exacerbating that you refuse to explain yourself when questioned, which I ALREADY explained to you is not the same thing as you're suggesting.

Are you an idiot or just plain dishonest?

>>380621198

which taxes? Flat taxes? Because those discriminate against those with less money.

Income taxes? Because those drive the wealthiest to do their business overseas.

Property taxes? Because those make it difficult for the middle class to own property.

Somebody gets fucked no matter what, is my point.

Sales taxes, since those are based off of what you can buy, rather than what you have

There is no such thing as a perfect solution though, even sales tax would just promote people to buy less goods (though at this point that might even be good thing, maybe get back to a bit more quality over quantity in our purchases) but you're correct, there is no way to solve the issue without someone getting fucked.
