Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Oh, it's time to get my Representatives on the Phone, bother them about this brand-new change that will make everyone's lives better! It just sucks that I had to go to the city's website because Abqjournal is blocking anyone who doesn't disable ad-block (in this day and age, it's non-negotiable).
The fuck? They named city after a car?
What does this mean for tip workers and their minimum wage? Will it be 17.50 too?
If they're making a living wage, I personally am no longer tipping.
The cost of this is/will be passed to the consumer, so that's my rationalization.
Tipping is a fucking bullshit scam derived from slavery. Nobody should rely on tips, all jobs should pay livable wages.
I will continue to dream...
Stupid Americans have this idea that tipping is necessary for good service.
They're genuinely too brain-dead to comprehend firing people when they don't do their job properly.
In all honesty, they've just been conditioned to be morons so people richer than them can be even richer.
That's largely true, I've just come to expect poor customer service by default. I'm nice to them but if they are actually competent I'm pleasantly surprised.
I'm pretty sure tip workers still have the lower minimum base wage.
Federally, if they don't earn enough tips to meet the regular minimum wage, the employer has to make up the difference. Not sure if ~~California~~ New Mexico has similar rules in place, though.
This is New Mexico
Oh, duh
That needs to be in the article and made clear, rather sloppy reporting actually. What about gig workers?
Because it's a pretty normal detail to go unmentioned when discussing minimum wage. That detail has always been the case, at least as far as I'm aware.
This is actually the first time I've ever read an article about the minimum wage and it doesn't discuss tipped wages.
Mind you, it's also the first Santa Fe minimum wage news article I've ever seen.
The cost of this is/will be passed to the consumer
Businesses already charge customers the most they're willing and able to pay.
Santa Fe stands out among the major cities.
They also have a law that forbids building past a certain height.
They get my approval.

Hmm, I wonder why they are having issues with available affordable housing. 🤔
