Even with tipping and wait staff, where I will tip at 20% usually because I am lazy, and it is easy to figure. It is customary here, I wish I didn't have to tip, except I figure it is the price of going out. Worst case scenario for non-tippers is to be called Mr Pink, and nobody wants to be called Mr Pink. Also beyond the borders, going to the pyramids at Giza, the driver stopped 500m short and asked for an extra dollar to take us closer, and one guy started complaining, and I gave the driver an extra dollar for him and said: "I didn't come thousands of miles to hear someone complain about a dollar!"Helicopter owners as RPG writers is rather irrelevant, as I am almost sure no-one is making that kind of money writing RPG's, but if they are, kudos for them. The idea for organized labor is not to limit the top, except to help the rank and file. Why socialism is feminism, vs capitalist patriarchy in social-economic theory. I can go on with the business theory stuff, I wrote my thesis of "Rise and Fall of the MegaCorp" about IBM, they loved the title, and I didn't have to tell them I ruthlessly stole it from sci-fi/cyberpunk, and did a huge powerpoint project on kickstarter as growth of "creative-funding" mixed with marketing (this was 2013). It was interesting stuff, and I basically went back to school because the economic downturn of 2008, and had already been working in project management as managing engineer in California.Circling back to the labor, creatives, issue; like the wait staff, nobody wants to have to think about tipping so they can make it, mostly people only want to think of what impacts their own pocket. That is ok, nothing wrong with that, except it is also the reason for writers, staff, labor, to organize in order to take care of themselves.</blockquote>
