Only a European could find a way to express their "progessiveism" by stiffing underpaid workers and somehow acting smug and morally superior for it, as if their shit smells like roses.
While the supposed wealthiest country in the world, the USA, is turning into a massive broken MAGA run AmeriKa Last shithole. Your infrastructure is neglected, public transportation (includes high-speed rail) is a big fucking bagel (zero), income distribution is in the shitter, healthcare is a massive dumpster fire, underfunded education system, increasing poverty and there are hungry people. Go piss in the wind and fix your shit.
Great idea! Let's see, step one in "fix our shit" involves uniting workers along a progressive political project. Unfortunately, a bunch of stupid cheap dickheads just stiffed a bunch a workers while trying to pass that off as representing some sort of progressive idea. It's a good thing there isn't any kind of extremely well-funded right-wing political apparatus that will happily use that to promote the idea that progressives are just a bunch of privileged elites out of touch with the actual interests of the working class.
Hey, give the poor tourists a break. Do you really expect them to afford an international trip, tickets to a massive sporting event, and a few $5 tips?
Their mouths say pay workers more, their wallets say build more stadiums.
