Fair point. And this is why unions are beneficial to the working class, and also why shitty companies like Starbucks try to bust unions.

A higher federal minimum wage would solve this problem. Employers are required by law to make up the difference between the base wage and the federal minimum wage ($7.25/hr) if nobody tips.

But obviously $7.25 isn’t a living wage either, so any tipped employee that actually makes the federal minimum is living almost entirely on tips.

2001 is divisive. I love that movie, but I know so many people that find it insufferably slow.

I think it’s just too “spacious” for lack of a better term. It only presents the bare minimum in plot and focuses almost entirely on the cinematography. But just think about it in the context of 1968. This was during the height of the space race, and the film explores the core concept: what is the destiny of humanity and where did we come from? It’s so fucking massive in scope that the only way to do it justice is to just give the viewer space to digest.

As such it asks a lot from the viewer to fill in the gaps and use the film as more of a meditation than a passive viewing experience.

1. There Will Be Blood
2. The Fabelmans
3. Gangs of New York
4. Memento
5. The Dark Knight

This is an incredibly difficult question for me, so I have to list my runners up:

• The Prestige
• Shawshank Redemption
• Pulp Fiction
• Spirited Away
• 2001: A Space Oddysey
• Dallas Buyers Club

I’m probably an idiot for not including The Godfather but it’s been a long time since I saw it so I probably need to watch it again.

Unfortunately I think MLMs trap plenty of educated people. It’s just a blind spot.

Ah it would seem it’s too late lol

I just hope the capitalist bootlickers stay there. I’m tired of bad faith arguments that try to slow down class solidarity.
