We are just finding out about a child sex trafficking ring involving politicians and billionaires, the world’s richest man does a Nazi salute at a political rally, and the President being an adjudicated sex criminal is probably not the worst thing he has done…

Meanwhile I’m standing here in the checkout line feeling guilty about whether or not I should tip a barista

Something is wrong with our collective notion of morality, and my individual understanding (Oh well, here we are)

    We need to advocate for better pay

    Yes.

    and stop taking tipped jobs.

    If people could just “stop taking tipped jobs” you really think they wouldn’t have been doing that already?

    Your post kinda has “have you tried just not being depressed?” energy.

      I stopped taking tipped jobs. I’m homeless and unemployed, and suffer from depression and ADHD.

      They aren’t necessarily linked, but doing one’s best to stop participating in certain parts of a capitalist society is actually a choice. It’s not like depression.
