Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate and am understanding so much more unfortunately (because I am learning America sucks!! lol) and since we live here sadly they obviously want to keep us from moving away like we want for their benefit because with our the cogs there’s no “machine”, that’s what I am starting to understand.
But honestly, your comments have opened my eyes and helped me so much with understanding the dynamics of what’s going on and such, so again thank you! 🙏🏼
I honestly am feeling better about the comment from Trump but with my family background you can only expect fear, my Hong Kong family cannot even travel now because “their passports aren’t valid anymore” if they want to travel they have to get a mainland passport and all my family refuses. :/ I miss them…

That’s clearly not where I posted 🤦🏽♀️, I came here for clarity and understanding which you have shown none of… so please unless you have something valid to say… DON’T. Go to those questions and groups to bother them and leave me alone… I didn’t ask for your comments on “how or where I should post” blah blah blah…
I am just trying to survive like everyone else and just wanted to understand which you have nothing valid to contribute so, thank you and have a great night!
Ps. I am a German/Russian/Jew and half Viet… so, clearly I am asking for more and you have no idea… bubble popped! 🙄 but I still have faith because with out faith, I wouldn’t be talking to you… 🤷🏽♀️
Please just move on unless you something VALID to address with my post.

Yeah, the 30 calls I get a day asking me to come “verify my status” is terrifying. I am scared about ICE every time I got into the city and I am legal. I want to cry just thinking about my doctors appointment on Monday in the city.
But I am talking about Trumps dad who dodged the war coming to America for refuge to avoid fighting in the war… not Donnie orange face and his made up bone spurs. His family legit came from Germany to avoid fighting illegally. They came here illegally regardless of what was going on just like many so it’s savage what’s happening.
This is the same reason almost all refugees come to America, to avoid conflicts, wars, and drug cartels… but now we are sending people all over the world paying whatever country to take them (because they are illegals), right? Legit am asking, not sarcasm (internet can’t understand my voice) legit trying to understand.
And I know American politics and the geo politics that are involved make my head spin because I believe they try to justify all their actions and it’s only hurting our economy and country.
I am just so confused and just trying to understand so I appreciate you taking the time to help me because it’s so complicated and that comment Trump posted freaked me out because my family left all that behind to be facing it again, is how I feel…
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Thank you! This was the most informative comment I have received. I think I know the understanding of what’s truly going on with trade, the way Trump is trying to change our country in an authoritative state, and all around got information I truly needed as media is portraying it one way but not the truth just “their truth” and I have learned most media outlets are owned by them. And with Kirk’s death it just terrified me to see the amount of support that came from the GOP and making him into a martyr and that’s what happened before and why my family left.
But seriously, thank you! I appreciate your comment so much!

But didn’t Trump want to privatize the postal service?
And didn’t Trump cut regulations for factories recently? This includes workers rights and safety. He bailed out Argentina and then China bought all their soy beans vs ours? How did that happen?
Cutting funding to rural farmers (USDA) and programs in the rural areas like food stamps, aid, etc.?
And the billionaires are ruling our country now as they do not pay nearly the same as taxes of an individual citizen, ie Amazon… etc. I feel like I am just a cog in a machine and have nothing to show for it due to rising costs on everything but wages.
As a child coming from communism, I know it’s not that bad as it was there and I believe or think the problem here is more about fascism but either way, I think I am just confused???

“Trash mods” on Reddit, who block and ban you for not agreeing with their views… completely different…
I have faith in Lemmy mods, as I am not understanding what’s going on and trying to understand? Hence why I asked this mod thinking I would be NOT be judged FOR ASKING a “stupid” question as most in America agree with Trump as he won the presidency SOME FUCKING HOW, but thanks for making me feel like a POS and how reddit mods are better somehow. Thanks, I am just trying to understand and clearly I asked a “stupid question” by trying to understand.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I know but honestly, if you came from a communist country like China, you wouldn’t think that the comment of “paper tigers” should be ignored.
I still have family in Vietnam, China, and now the ignored conflict over Hong Kong as “reading too much into it”. Did you see what’s happening there? It’s been going on for years and no one cares or knows in the west… but I do and I know, it’s my family over there fighting to protect their passports and pleading to not be apart of the mainland…
So I do not! Think it’s “divorced for how it became”, I know first hand that comments, lead to actions, and lead to WORSE.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Thank you! I am beginning to understand more due to your comment and trying to research but the internet is full of falsehoods and garbage, why I am reaching out to my Lemmy community because I left Reddit due to trash mods. I know here people actually care and try to help other people. So honestly, thank you!
I appreciate you comment because I am over her reeling, my family left all that government because it horrid and came here legally unlike Trump’s family of war dodgers, both him and Elon’s family came here illegally so what he is doing is so savage! I just can’t wrap my head around everything going on.
I get about 30 calls a day asking me, “to come the immigration office and verify my status” the message comes in English then in Mandarin… I speak neither. My dad is from Vietnam came here with a sponsor and became a citizen and I was born here… it’s honestly terrifying. I am legit scared for my safety. ICE is out of control right now.

Hahaha! That just made my night, you are right! I know he’s a puppet for Miller but seriously your comment made my night because yeah the douche can’t even use the bathroom when he needs to. Haha!
You are def right, he has no idea who that even is… but still the fact he said it and I feel like everyone is ignoring is terrifying!
My family came here LEGALLY unlike his family (war dodgers) and even Elon both families came here illegally which is so savage that they are deporting people even citizens left and right while they are hypocrites themselves! My family left because the same shit going on right now… :/

Right!!! Try to “fire me” I work for a mom and pop and they already hate Drumpf so jokes on them! I will never be without my job! So….
BRING IT ON! I am a citizen and paying taxes so try… my numerous lawyer friends would fucking love it they are bored and would love to bring this shit on!!!
Freedom of speak is still a thing as much as the 2nd amendment so guess what, Americans are knowing their rights and taking actions and I am NOT THE ENEMY!
- Comment on Willing to get “fired” 3 weeks ago:
So would the dead children of the mass shootings that’s happening more and more everyday and guess what… no politicians care to change anything but offer prayers and support but that’s garbage compared to changing the real issue… Which is America and the billionaires who are running the country and media! ITS TIME TO THROW OUR OWN “TEA” IN THE OCEAN! We’re sick of being taxed most 30+% while no one else in politics or billionaires PAY ANYTHING!
At least the douche Kirk probably had healthcare when others can’t even afford or lost it…regardless if it helped his dumbass or not, he had it and others don’t…
So the MAGATS can complain all they want and corrupt the news trying to praise this POS, it doesn’t matter if he has a family or not, as an individual he’s a trash human who got what was coming.
Hate = More Hate. And fucking dude GOT IT! This is the war they (MAGATS) THINK they created and they “might” have but realize almost out of all the schools shootings it’s mostly YOUR DAMN OWN … GOP members, Drumpf supporters, etc. and now two of your own down…
It’s actually not my a civil war, it’s a WAR AGAINST BILLIONAIRES IN AMERICA, especially ones who spew hate and worse. I can only assume more are to come vs CHANGING for the people who fucking pay you to protect our rights which at this rate NO POLITICIAN IS DOING! So lose your job and get the fuck out! Bye Felicia!!!
If you didn’t wanna do your damn job then don’t but guess what take public funds and be a public servant, I don’t know be there for the public, which none of them are doing so guess what midterms are coming up bye-bye bye-bye!!!

You do realize that not tipping people will NOT help the problem but only hurt the people trying to work their asses off for tips and such… (you alone cannot change govt - you only hurt fellow citizens). But I agree we need to be paid more but note…
I quit my teaching job to make 3X as much as a server with half the hours… that’s the fucked up problem in America!
Also, how much we are taxes to see no change we threw tea in the ocean but we’re letting the current govt collect like 30+% of our wages as billionaires pay nothing their entire life… THATS THE PROBLEM!
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 3 weeks ago:
I agree, in MN we get paid pretty well as servers but agree some restaurants do this MOSTLY CHAINS, I am in a mom and pop and they haven’t raised prices in 2 years even after the fiasco of egg prices going crazy and then Drumpf saying he’ll bring him down which never happened. We never raise our prices… so people should also make that realization.
But thank you for understanding the fucked up system of tipping, I quit my teaching job because I make almost 3X as much with 1/2 the hours and that’s sickening! And then you have the servers complaining about how other people have better tips, it’s so much drama!
But I thank you for tipping honestly, a lot of people do not understand the importance of take out or serving in a restaurant and if they don’t get it… they need to watch the moving “Waiting”. Not saying I would do anything in that moving but others def will… so basically, don’t fuck with the people who serve you food…
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 4 weeks ago:
I keep getting weird and threating comments/messages and all I have to say to everyone who doesn’t tip…
Watch the moving “Waiting” then get back to me…
You’re a regular ordering $50 worth of food with no tip… lesson, don’t fuck with the people who serve you food. COMMON FUCKING SENSE! Not that I would do that… but it’s clearly an option I have thought about and the more and more he doesn’t tip for service the more and more I am living the movie, “Waiting”…

“ punishing others based on your beliefs”
Said Osama bin Laden when he planned to fly planes into American buildings… and every other Muslim who supported his attack on Americans… (entitlement?)

Wow! I can’t even get into this since you are in Japan and never would understand, even if you wanted to, we can switch lives for a month then you can understand how fucked up the US is with providing for their citizens.
But you would know the most since US fucked your country over the with your surprise attack on Pearl Harbor then we “A bombed” you, (don’t agree) but you out of everyone should know how fucked up America truly is…
Also, PUBLIC SERVIANTS are state owned workers with benefits and pensions… servers have NOTHING of the sort… but I also give them a Christmas gift because I feel bad, but legit get paid more than me so again, not the same! They have state benefits and pensions, we relay on people to be GREAT people to tip for service. If you don’t want that service go thru McDonald’s and fuck off!
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 4 weeks ago:
Don’t live here… never worked in USA food system… no opinion… I would gladly trade a month to month situation like wife swap… it more like American swap… then you will fucking know the shit we deal with! Including getting taxed like 30-40% whole billionaires pay little to nothing. You up for it, we can trade lives for a month!
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 4 weeks ago:
So you living somewhere else you opinion is noted, but you have no idea how we have to live over here… as a teacher I quit to make almost 3X more a month as a server… so unless you live here… . No comment.
That’s like women complaining about childbirth and men coming to try to compare… NO UTERUS NO OPTION… same…
DON’T live in America… no opinion. It’s noted but unless you live a day in our trash ass lives… NOPE!
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 4 weeks ago:
Love you!! You are my perfect customer! But I agree, I always tip 10% and 20% for great service! I always tip even on take out since hosts have to ensure orders and box it up accordingly. But seriously, I agree, I live in MN so us servers are lucky but still, the tipping culture is out of control! You tip for take out and dine in… I shouldn’t have to tip a person during a fast food order which EVERYTHING IS ALREADY FUCKING COOKED! You ain’t doing shit but warming up that shitty food (I don’t eat). Why would anyone fucking tip?! American tipping culture is going to shit since no one is getting paid the wages entitled…
America is trash and can’t even get to 250 years while other countries have 1000s under their belts! It’s fucking embarrassing!

Perfect, then I don’t waste my time, table, and food waiting on someone who won’t tip vs someone who will.
I agree if you don’t like it, don’t go there, stop punishing others based off your beliefs.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 month ago:
If I was your server, I would get you!! Never would be empty! Usually half full is when I ask if they want another.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 month ago:
Yeah, you have never worked the service industry in America so… comment invalid.
Don’t like tipping in the US than don’t go out, or stay in whatever county you are skimming servers out of tips you live in…
My restaurant actually pays us more than the bogus ass fed minimum wage and I don’t have to “kiss ass” of customers they genuinely like me, might be hard for you to comprehend but I get well over 20% on almost every table. I can make $3-4k a month with my wage and shifts like 25hrs a week, that’s what’s wrong in the US. When you make more as a server with half the hours than a full time teacher, something’s got to change…
Bottom line, my restaurant pays me $11.10/hr or $15/hr (asst manager) plus tips so basically tip your servers or do not go out and hit a drive thru instead. Stop punishing us because of what you believe in…
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 month ago:
It common sense, tip off TOTAL bill NOT discounted prices, you got the same service and food so… tip accordingly of TRUE amount. It’s not “misleading” it’s a true fact, tip based of total.
Like I said before, you get $100 worth of drinks with a discount of half off so $50, you do NOT tip off $50. You got $100 worth of drinks and services so tip off that! Don’t like it, don’t go out. Don’t agree, then create a bill and call your govt reps, do not punish fellow humans because you “don’t agree”. We are all just trying to live. If anything, make your own food at home and there you go, NO TIP NEEDED… but no, you came out to get waited on therefore, provide tips accordingly, we are not just at the restaurant for pleasure…
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 month ago:
Thank you!! They didn’t like my responses as a fellow server former teacher! I make more with half the hours as a server than a full time teacher, that’s savage and what’s truly wrong with America! Don’t like the tipping culture than don’t go out, it’s not that fucking hard. Don’t punish servers for your beliefs! I just don’t get people. Why downvote me when I am providing my first hand experiences?
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 month ago:
That’s should be common sense. Tip on the FULL amount not on a discount you received, you didn’t get discounted food or service so tip accordingly. It’s not hard.
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 month ago:
Thank you! After all the comments and being a server I was starting to feel like I was going crazy!
Like you said, tip your servers accordingly and if not then don’t go the f out! Go through a drive thru instead!
And if you hate the tipping culture then try to change it! Don’t punish the servers for your selfish actions and beliefs for a service rendered! You don’t HAVE to be waited on… you chose that! So don’t choose to not tip that’s an asshole move and if you’re a regular even worse!
