If you let people live anywhere they want and ignore the issues they create your children will inherit worse world than we have today.

For example women fought for decades for equal rights in Europe. Now let people from countries who do not believe in equal rights come to Europe and you will see how women situation will become. I know many immigrants who do not allow their wives to work and think women should do home work and take care of children. Worse those people even when they come as immigrants become permanent residents and get citizenship very easily after few years living in my country and will start voting. In my country they no longer do long interviews for citizenship as before. You get asked two or three questions that everybody memorize and that is all.

So try to make good choices too.

I meant it is delusional that it is possible but you can always hope.

You may be living in dream land to think that.

I am answering Op who is in Germany and situation is the same as in my country.

Left parties are also to blame for this. I always vote for the left party but lately I am not OK with about 70% of their agenda.

A rising number of people are concerned about immigration but left parties just ignore that and pushes for more immigration.

Immigration causes lot of issues. You see many immigrants pick pocketers in touristic areas, you hear a lot of crime cases involving immigrants, many prostitutes are immigrants and are exploited. It is maybe few but why adding more crimes when we already have enough of it.

Many immigrants rely on welfare and are eligible as some immigrants do not allow their wives to work and having multiple children is a norm. Left parties always vote against any restrictions.

They push salaries down and causes unemployment. Many do not want to work on underpaid jobs like in restaurants. But immigrants are OK to take those jobs and push salaries down.

So people see that left parties are doing nothing for this, left parties do not want upset their base which contain a lot of people from immigration. So people go to right and far right parties.

If most of your bonus go to taxes and you still have money for a pizza then you are not poor and nothing to complain about.

I used to go to restaurants alone and I the last time I did it the waitress/owner started asking what I do and gave me the impression that she felt sorry for me.

Now it has been a while that I didn’t go. It wasn’t because of her but it I feel like it.

Japanese people do that as trash bins are very rare. It is an education issue and not the lack/full of trash binsy

No I eat garlic but the one they put in the plate has a bizarre odor.

I was in some European city and there is one Chinese restaurant serving hot pot. So I wanted to try it. I ordered and selected the items I want for around 50€. The waitress asked me : “is that all? Do you want the menu?”. So I was wondering if I didn’t order enough. At the end, what I ordered was enough for at least 3 people. I was in a table for 4 people and it was full with all the dishes. The waitress then asked me if she need to bring a bowl of rice!

They brought the sauces and there was garlic on the plate. The odor ruined the whole meal for me. I couldn’t eat most of it and I was disappointed as I don’t like wasting food.

Ah they posting adult content? I didn’t read the article and I thought they were using OF for their music.

Yes I am interested in the details.

The tipping culture is very rooted in Americans. I was at restaurant in Europe and there was a customer (certainly American). He ate during 30 minutes or less, the waiter was nice but he wasn’t doing it for tips and the customer only saw him when he ordered the food and at payment. The prices are high end.

When he paid he was surprised that there was no tipping options (unfortunately we started seeing them in some European countries) and asked him to pay another 10€ as a tip.

If you are paid $15/h that is 20% of $75. Don’t you think that the clients you will serve will pay way more than that during an hour?

Waiters are against it as they may get way more than if they were paid by the owner. Also they automatically get raises when menu prices increases.

What blows my mind is that American do tip everywhere and also give cash to some workers at the end of the year (mail man, garbage man,… Etc).

Should we really import products that are out of season though?

That’s how it works. Imported products will be much expensive and local products will be able to compete and people will buy them instead of the ones coming from China.

That is the theory, but are there local products for the things that the US is importing? I don’t think so. Also local companies may just align their prices with the imported stuff.
