Hot take: Tipping culture is quintessential market failure & capitulation to pay for work fairly and adequately, shifting the burden & part of the blame to the consumer, in search of profit & tax-optimization. Tipping is corrosive & furthers exploitation by providing a safety net of "with tips I can make it"

I'm a "french revolution" purist. I view the politcal spectrum as intended by the ushers of 89s national assembly, whereas right = uphold the known and practiced, left = change into the unknown, hopefully progress for all. Cypher-Punk crypto is purist left in my mind. Hyper-financialized crypto of today is right, as it's carbon-copying with heroic enthusiasm a system (including each building block and feedback loop) that existed before and that brought itself to an inflection point spawning a systemic alternative. There's a reason why the right has an easier time picking up crypto now as it turned into a "commodity with huge potential upside" that is compatible with and milked by an existing setup of wealth concentration. Celebrating ETH and BTC etfs that benefit capitalist gargantuans only is a good example. Ironic, cynical or simpleton-reductionist AF, you decide.
