News, March 16: “The Tipping Point”
Against the Tip
Tipping is an outdated and harmful custom: studies from restaurants show it's discriminatory (e.g. black servers earn less), correlated to sexual harassment, and nearly uncorrelated to service quality. Uber has also provided a reference point for its inconvenience, as it's become a selling point for them, reducing friction considerably in a post-cash society.
I hope Uber stands their ground on keeping tipping out of their app.

Food, March 16: “Cravin’ the Maven”
A Mixed Bag
I've always had a mixed lunch experience there. Everyone I go with orders breakfast burritos. I've enjoyed the sandwiches, but their Indian(?) themed soup is terribly flavorless. The tofu scramble is a soggy prank and should be removed. I've had birthday cakes that tasted like Walmart, but tarts that have been quite good.
Mixed bag every time.

Not Every Time
Well, he's wrong, I love having lunch there, and I never order dessert, I'm too full.

Cover, March 9: “Spinning Out”
Covered in Oil
Don't blame New Mexico, many of us have embraced solar (and even wind). Our governor, however, is covered in oil.
Well, I guess that you can blame New Mexico. She was not only elected, but re-elected.

Choice is Better
A lot of people will like to have a choice besides St Vincent's.
