The more I think about it the more I think @AlexandraErin is right
It's not that it's impossible to keep on feeding people and keep "the economy" going while everyone is out of work
It's that they're terrified of ever admitting that it IS possible

What they're terrified of is the government realizing this is life or death and forcing the coffers of the wealthy open to keep the population alive for three months *without* doing all the bullshit jobs and people realizing "Hey, this actually does work"

"Why don't we do this all the time? Why don't we make it so everyone has a constant level of 'base pay' and tips really are just an extra reward for good service? Why don't we treat service work like what it is - doing you a *favor*, not performing your God ordained function"

They'd really rather risk death than risk that change in attitude, to them their position in society as the generous dispensers of the right to survive in return for haircuts and shoeshines and immediately refilling the bread every time is their whole identity

Just look at how many people claim that self services restaurants are somehow NOT "Real True Restaurants"? Why? If the self employs competent cooks with access to the quality ingredients, the foos will be as good if I have to carry it on a tray or if its brought to my table

No, the value was the experience of having a nice meal and then tipping 20%. Do you just hate restaurants?

Although to be fair, Cali does not have the wretched wage exception for tipped jobs. Waiting tables in Arkansas is a different storyhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage#State_law …

I’m gonna interject here to add that there are people who can’t cook for themselves for one reason or another (people with disabilities, lack of functional/safe equipment, etc). Food service IS a necessity for them. Whether it needs our current setup, idk, but be inclusive.
