Its probably going to change how tips work though. The IRS is REALLY going to want their cut now. In fact, there isnt a reason to tip a waitress anymore if they are making $15 minimum. The only reason i do tip is because i know how much they rely on those tips, and i am a good tipper because of that, but that will probably change now.To say Im so happy Im nearly speechless is an understatement. Hes gonna forgive student debt. NOW he also says his Covid Rescue Bill will mandate $15/hr minimum wage AND end the tipping exemption!! For those who never worked for tips it means the restaurant/bar owner now will pay us $15 hour (instead of like $2) and most people will still tip anyway!
So end result....so long $250 a month debt payments and HELLO $15 hr wage + $10-$20 an hour more in tips!
Thats $25-30 an hour for waiting tables. No student debt. Truly life changing for many of us.
All the work pushing for Biden/Harris was worth it
