I think you mean to direct this comment to republican lawmakers who are ACTIVELY making lives worse for LGBTQ+ people. The president does not have legislative powers in this country. What do you expect the president to be able to do when the republican-run legislatures and courts have gone rogue? A proclamation here and there (literally he just did this), or an executive order (which he has signed multiple over the course of the administration). These however are easily undone by the other branches or government or by former president shitbag if he retakes the throne. I’m not sure how you can claim silence from the administration. Frustration with the whole situation, sure, but you can’t pin this on Biden.
Security-wise it’s not a good idea to keep passwords and 2FA codes in the same client as it then becomes a single point of failure. A standalone authenticator app resolves that as long as it’s not unlocked with the same master password. A standalone app also opens a venue for non-BW customers to get on their platform.
People can be fucking ignorant and unfortunately Covid made this all worse. There are simple measures we can take as a society to make everyone’s health better but people succumb to misinformation spread by those who profit from the alternative.
Simply raising prices to cover lack of tips is a non starter from the business perspective. Every restaurateur was against this idea. One of them was openly hostile towards the question. I agree that this would make the most sense but at the expense of shocking consumers and driving business away so I don’t see it happening.
They’re also not going to cut into their margins to fund employee living wages and benefits so it is going to fall on the customer no matter what. Ultimately the correct solution is decoupling “benefits” that are actually necessities from employment, but I digress…
High performing employees are by and large for a traditional tipping model because it means they make more money. Everyone else is just getting by or actively getting screwed by the traditional tipping model. It is not equitable. Those who currently benefit the most need to accept a pay cut to move to one of these mandatory service fee models. Hence pushback and turnover by the highest performers which is hard for businesses to accept.
In a traditional model, I am going to tip 20% on service no matter what so adding it on as a mandatory but transparent fee is fine. My problem is that there is currently no standard so you have to look out wherever you go and adjust your tip accordingly. It’s a consumer nightmare. We need a regulation to standardize how these service fees work for consumers and honestly in a lot of cases we should eliminate the tip line entirely.

I gave away the result of the 2015 NFC championship game to my ex wife who was out of town and planning to watch it recorded later. Still bitter about the game but would gladly ruin it for her again.
Except we all know this is not done in good faith to fix a real problem. Its real intent to further push a transphobic agenda and punish people who are trans.
