  It’s not only legal it’s effectively encouraged. Capitalism is a race to the bottom, regardless of consequences.

      They don’t help, sure, but this shit happens anyway in capitalism. It’s an inevitability.

        Yeah it sucks how money flows to the people who can use it most under capitalism, without anyone having to force it to happen.

      They’re being paid minimum wage. It’s not a great job.

        The minimum wage in the Phillipines is around $10 a day.

  This should result in community violence.

    Resulted in community silence instead

      Why does it seem that the ones who have everything have nothing inside, nothing inside?

  People should just not go there. But it’s america and they probably have 1dollar chicken nuggets or something.

    I would probably just turn around if I saw and understood what I was looking at. Definitely wouldn’t go back a second time.

  I think it is illegal. I thought you had to file a W2 for anyone working in the states.

    They are not physically in the US, and probably work listed as some sort of overseas contractor. Whatever wages they earn are from their employer who contracts for the restaurant.

    That’s probably how it works.
