This is a surprisingly good thing to come from this pos, I’m kinda suspicious about it but hey, I’ll take what I can get???

Good for you, you should be frustrated. The system is broken and is only getting worse

Fair enough, I’m just saying if your goal is to gain a new perspective on wages then this may not be the place, however if you want to spread the discourse by all means continue

My opinion is that servers should be paid above minimum wage across the board, missouris minimum wage just got increased recently which is good, but with inflation it’s still far below the living wage from like the 70s. Fed min wage is a absolute joke. I am surprised missouris is as high as it is though, considering Springfield is very inexpensive to live in (compared to other cities of its size) it sort of works out, but rent is only going up my friend.

To a lesser point, I’ve never been a waiter but my friends who have been definitely had nights that made up for them making UNDER minimum wage because there were tipped so well, but at the same time the working conditions forced them to do the job of the waitstaff, the busser, seating people and a bunch of managerial duties they were in no way compensated for.

Lastly, they should unionize, big chains like Olive Garden first and then generally.

Honestly I don’t think Springfield mo sub is the right place for this, although I do have an opinion,

This is more of a catch all sub for like, vaguely political but certainly local events, people asking about crime, people asking where the cheapest tacos are, and people complaining about driving.

I would suggest maybe asking r/antimoneymemes about servers being paid minimum wage

Yeah, as far as I know development is kinda favoritized and the sequiota thing was no different. I would really like to see some affordable housing get attention in Springfield, I really hoped the enthusiasm for rejecting the sequiota development was rooted in the fact that they were going to be expensive and not just nimbyism

I’d vote for you

Oh, that’s awesome! Do you know why she was against it? I feel pretty conflicted about that whole thing.

Woah, I didn’t know a mayoral election was coming. Is there likely to be any challenge?

That is normal bro, try to have some compassion the state just actively decided it was for removing the homeless at all costs

I think they’ll find that Jesus is even farther down the road, and there’s a ton of billboards for that guy

I think this should be on everyone’s minds going forward in missouri

People go fast everywhere man, and giving people tickets isn’t lowering the amount of traffic deaths we have anytime soon

Really nice beautiful day out = cops trying to make it a bad day for some rando

Maybe if everyone didn’t go 40 downtown

Lol

Because poor

Picklemans downtown

Isn’t there a law going into effect on Jan 1st that makes it illegal to sleep on public lands in missouri? Maybe they’re getting ready for the judge dredd crackdown on the homeless

Do you people seriously just go walk around bass pro for fun? Y’all trippin

That looks fucking metal dude

Not incredible

Yes! It is depressing!

Well, popular internet culture would have me joke that you are the cops trying to bust the homeless camps, but I feel times are too dire for that sort of thing.

So, there’s one off chestnut exp by the railroad tracks you have to turn on to broadway from chestnut to get to it and it’s pretty big,

There’s one by the overpass on glenstone near the Braums, turn into Braums and park in the car dealership to the south of that,

Some people camp out to the west of brick city, but not many usually.

A few in the woods south of the main graveyard on grand (the one by msu)

Hmmm… I’ll update my post if i think of anymore

Edit: there used to be a small camp east of the Walmart on Kearney but I think that is cleared now (?)

Oh, and there’s a fairly sizeable one off Kansas expressway right after the dollar tree and harbor freight and batteries bulbs+ going north, take that road that slopes down and you’ll see it on the left

You want to know where all the homeless camps are?
