The Fed essentially created the RUNNING AWAY inflation train by many years of irresponsible policy of cheap money, ever increasing amounts of unsustainable debt, and creating runaway money supply. Put another way, they removed the brakes from the train and created an economy hopelessly addicted to debt. Now interest rate hikes are their only remaining tool to slow down inflation, but the pain that causes to a nation burdened with out of control debt (paying the interest to service the debt) and consumers addicted to debt is like nothing the Fed has ever had to deal with before. They created the problem and boxed themselves into a place with no good solution. The quickest and easiest way our Government could now help bring inflation under control is to a give up their delusional attempt to rapidly creat a “Green” country/economy and take all necessary measures to return to energy independence. The price of almost everything is directly correlated with the price of oil, diesel, and gas.

All interesting points, good discussion. .
If 50% of the restaurants went out of business here, the going out would be reservation only for dinners, or the line would extend around the block. If the landlord thinks that getting another restaurant in place with the same available market, the same competitive prices, the same employees from the area, the same food costs into the area, and the same food choices, does the landlord think that there are always some other set of people and suppliers who can change the profitability? When worker wages increase due to changes in minimum wages or requirements to hire to staff due to competition or increases in cost of sales which not all can be passed along to the consumer all at once, there are either lower profits or lower management pay to maintain the same level of profitability. The lower pay for management shows up in either lower rent or lower on site management pay. How many people like pay reductions? so the restaurant profitability is the struggle between rent and on site management pay. At some point one or the other either relents or goes under. This is the constant economic struggle to maintain a profitable business in this industry. So patronize them or don't complain when there aren't enough to serve your when you decide to eat out. . |

Just like it's against the law to drive your non-street-legal golf cart 21mph - good luck enforcing it. |

Note that this is not only a civil matter. It is also a criminal matter. In a restaurant, there is a clear delineation between tipped employees and non-tipped employees by IRS rules. If the restaurant is compensating non-tipped employees with tip income, they are commiting two crimes. They are stealing money from the tipped employees, and they are evading taxes by not properly reporting the tip income paid to the non-tipped employees.

Unions are the problem, not the solution. It's been proven throughout history, unions eventually work to the detriment of every business and every worker. |

This is nonsense and has been debunked numerous times by people who actually look at the numbers. I have seen numerous YouTube videos of people interviewing clueless students who claim the same nonsense and then act surprised when the facts are presented to them. The top 10% pay 70% of the taxes with an average tax rate of 20%. Who gets to define what “fair”is? Certainly not you.

The US spends more on HEALTHCARE than most other countries. And has very poor results as in about 30th in the world on healthcare outcomes. As far as education goes, the Scandanavian Countries pay their teachers more and that would be the biggest expense to a school system. Maybe in the US the principals, janitors, cafeteria workers, and football coaches are making too much money?

Why give him the idea? He thinks the govt is the solution to all the problems it has created in the first place.

There is no coherence to anything you say. Feel free, however, to rant on.
