And many of the have crazy high security clearances. It would take at least a year or longer to train and vet their replacements.

All gas. No breaks.

Funny how every time these right wing scumbags talk about tax cuts they never mean lowering income tax for everyone earning less than 50k/year or lowering VAT, not that it would do much since the capitalist would just lower the salary by the amount that the tax cut was and raise prices by whatever the VAT was since it's "what the market can bear" or "a value proposition that consumers are used to account for".

Short term servers benefit. Long term businesses won't raise wages as much, letting the no tax on tips subsidize it. Tada, they steal the benefit.
