SENATE BILL: Long-term Unemployment Relief Act (Law'd)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Why is it when I PM people and ask them to gether and work out an agreement, I learn latter that nobody fing listend.

I wasn't remembering the need to deal with the tipped employee issue when I messaged Duke and Cinci about the minimum wage. 
Then when I went to write the amendment I remembered you mentioned it and was trying to submit an amendment quickly so the bill wouldn't linger, and wasn't thinking about messaging Duke and Cinci.

I told Duke about the issue and urged him to work out an agreement on that part too.

Does it make the most sense to just raise everyone to the minimum wage immediately, with the understanding that tips are no longer a necessity and prices can be adjusted accordingly?    I mean that thought doesn't give me warm fuzzies inside but if the idea is that an employee shouldn't be relying on tips to get their minimum wage, then maybe let's just make it clear that a gratuity is just that, instead of having this confusing period where prices are rising to cover rising wages but no one knows how much of a tip they need to be giving without ripping someone off.

On the other hand the rise in wages is substantially more than just would be expected from adding the gratuity, given this involves catching up with a few raises in the regular minimum wage, so maybe a sudden rise would be most disruptive to the job market . . . so I'm not sure I really support this.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If this does end up getting rejected, shua, do you still want the amendment you conditionally offered upon this one ending or do you prefer to wait until after this issue with the tipped employees is resolved?

AYE

Hopefully by the time that this is done, Duke will be nearing availability to get a set of numbers for tipped employees that everyone is comfortable with.

[TNF]

NAY

Duke signed off on the original numbers. I'm not sure why we should change them now, given they've yet to take affect.

[Cincinnatus]

NAY

Duke signed off on the original numbers. I'm not sure why we should change them now, given they've yet to take affect.

Wouldn't that be the logical time to change it?..

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Aye.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

NAY

Duke signed off on the original numbers. I'm not sure why we should change them now, given they've yet to take affect.

Is that supposed to be some sort of an explanation for why you are voting nay on a completely different amendment?


It's ridiculous we have to even vote on this since no one has given any actual reason to oppose it but .. AYE
