That's 7.3 days. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (8 children) Ah yes but those people love money so much, they are probably devastated.🤪 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Aux@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (7 children) So you wouldn't mind if 2% of your yearly salary after tax would disappear, right? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (4 children) Buff That's a false comparison. Salary after tax is not comparable to profit. Profit is after ALL expenses. So if I did something really really stupid, after being warned about it and repeatedly, and was fined 2% after ALL expenses, I'd say I got off easy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) Really, it's just an asshole tax. Most restaurants these days have extra fees that exceed 2% just because. Hell, once upon a time, a 15% tip was given for great service. Now it seems like 20-22% is often the lowest in the recommended tip section. 2% of extra money is nothing, especially when the fine is less than what was earned from the infraction. It's a lot easier to stomach a 2 billion dollar fine, when you earned 4 billion because of it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] anlumo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Those tip rates are a US thing, because it’s a hidden way to increase prices without having to write it down anywhere. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Aux@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago No, it's not false. permalink fedilink source parent [–] General_Effort@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago Think of some small family owned business, like a ma and pa shop. What they have after all expenses, the profit, is what they live off. That's their "salary". What you have left after all expenses is your savings. In a business, savings would be an investment, which does not count as profit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) 2% of nothing is still nothing 🤷 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Aux@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago I'm glad you will sacrifice your salary for the greater good! permalink fedilink source parent
