      Remember to also not tip your delivery driver. I'm not being sarcastic or facetious either. They're already getting paid to bring things from one place to another. There's no reason a customer should then pay the delivery man more money for doing their job successfully.

    One of the most important points to make that is *always* missed by conservatives is that this civilization didn’t just “fall from the sky into Whte people’s laps.” It has to be recreated every single day with OUR blood sweat and tears or it will exist no more. We’ve tried for generations thinking that other peoples would come here, see how we live, and decide to imitate us and become a Westerner like we are but that hasn’t happened and will never happen. I don’t know how many ways we need to be shown that groups of people are not interchangeable and our value systems are not universal before we finally understand that we are unique.

When they have small numbers, they exhibit numerical diffidence, meaning they don’t want to disturb our way of life because they know OUR social norms and expectations for behavior are in effect, so they follow us. But when enough of them are in our home and they know we aren’t fighting for our way of life (because of Whte Gu ilt due to generations of antiwhiteism), they begin to feel numerical courage and no longer feel the need to blend in.

      There were only two other drivers that made a regular job of it. One was a drug dealer who claimed his illegal money as tips to throw off the irs. The other was a single dad who needed a job with adjustable hours and he made a decent bit of cash on the side as an unlicensed legal consultant at a family law firm.

      Same. Why would an underpaid drone at a grocery store care about picking out the best produce for you, either. I've never liked drive-through either, because the food is often poorer quality, wrong, or something's missing because you're miles away by the time you discover the error so there is no incentive to get it right. A friend's son spent double on an order of McDonald's slop just to get it delivered. Didn't connect that with the difficulty saving money to get a car or his own place. Convenience is a killer. I'm too cheap to overpay for poison, and actually do better getting things and cooking things myself.

    If these drivers are receiving free housing, care and feeding, etc. as asylum seekers and whatnot, the government is essentially subsidizing these delivery companies with your taxes. So 5 pounds/hr is fine for them. But for anyone else unfortunate to have to try to make a living at this, it's tragic.

    2) An abortion ban, at least by the 5th or 6th week where a heartbeat is detectable.
    3) An income flat tax system, where all citizens pay their fixed share. This would put an end to the free ride many new-brits have living off of the middle classes forcibly redistributed wages.
    4) A Blind Justice system, where the details of the accused are obscured so that judge bias cannot interfere with the outcome. No more deliberate attempts to reduce the incarceration rates of criminals because they're from a different background. Crime is crime.

I could only get those jobs if I had skills that they couldn't find in the local population. If someone local could do it then, quite rightly, I wouldn't be given the job.

    When I volunteered at the refugee centre, quite a few of them were doing delivery riding (including one of the teenage lads) they obviously hadn't been granted rights to work, so was doing it on someone else's NI Number, the money would be paid to their traffickers, then they'd get given a few quid a week. They also had them doing drug runs to pay off the trafficker a debt, they'll never pay off as it just gets increased until they learn enough English to tell one of us or someone else.

    All these kinds of informal work should be banned, to compel employers to exclude those with no NI number and no history of living in the country.

    I worked with a guy who reckoned he could earn 30-50 for few hours on a weekday and up 100-200 for fridays and weekends. He said he never worked a full day.

    As someone who's worked in all sorts of bars and pubs, I can confirm that pubs where the rich and wealthier visit make next to no tips, while the shitty dirty local pub that real people go to make almost double wages in tips

    I don't know about the UK but in the US, at least in the San Diego and LA area although it's probably true nation wide, a large percentage of Japanese sushi and ramen places are actually Chinese owned.

    Don't use these services. Don't pay for your replacement.

    We have the same thing with door dash here in America, only they are called ghost kitchens, not dark kitchens.
