In our defense, corporations ruined the world wide web. It still has so much potential if they weren’t involved.

I don’t believe it, either. The sheriff’s department in my hometown also said that Iranian hackers targeted them here in my home state. Thankfully nobody took it seriously. It’s an obvious set up.

It is $7.25, but U.S. businesses often get away with paying waiters way below minimum wage. They expect their employees to make it up with the tips they recieve from customers. If it is American style tipping, that is exactly what that is.

This certainly also means these businesses are willing to under-pay their employees who do get tips.

I actually use both, depending on the context of the conversation and the people I am speaking with. I do this partially because I understand we are one of three Americas. If I am speaking to someone who isn’t a U.S. citizen, I’ll say U.S. But to other U.S. citizens, I’ll say America because we know the implied meaning when we say it.
