I think it's a combination of incentives, tariffs, and market research that claims that Americans prefer big expensive SUVs. I'm sad about it though

This isn't available in the US sadly

It isn't 6 months salary, it is 6 months worth of expenses

That's not true. The minimum wage guarantee is by pay period, not by shift

Listen dude, that's average wage. If you got stiffed one night out of the week, you're SOL that night and you made $2.13 / hour. If you make less than $7.25 hourly in a pay period then you'll be brought up to minimum wage, but in any given night, servers only make $2.13 hourly without tips.

OP is right, and the users on Lemmy are salty. Waiters make $2.13 / hour they survive off tips. If you don't tip, the system doesn't change, you're just an asshole

They are actually following the legal process

Except that walking across the border and surrendering to the border patrol IS the legal way.

Given the current policies of the Biden administration, my understanding is that most immigrants are actually going through the legal process of claiming asylum.

Channel 5 did a little mini documentary about it that I personally enjoyed: https://youtu.be/2dQ4-VNaG3s
