this should be straight up illegal.

It's not only legal it's effectively encouraged. Capitalism is a race to the bottom, regardless of consequences.

When the supreme Court has their finger in the scale it makes everything feel fuckin hopeless

They don't help, sure, but this shit happens anyway in capitalism. It's an inevitability.

Yeah it sucks how money flows to the people who can use it most under capitalism, without anyone having to force it to happen.

Is this how you think capitalism works? Yikes.

Capitalism is not a meritocracy the second someone fies and passes on their money

The person in the Philippines gets a good job out of this

They're being paid minimum wage. It's not a great job.
Edit: And apparently they split their tips with the people working in the restaurant too, so I really feel like this is just exploitation.

The minimum wage in the Phillipines is around $10 a day.
-
If this is right:
Looks like the absolute max is less than $10, and the absolute minimum is less than six dollars.
- $5.24 (306 PHP)
to - $9.76 (570 PHP)
How come agricultural laborers get shafted? An immediate guess is the government trying to keep food costs down.

People should just not go there. But it's america and they probably have 1dollar chicken nuggets or something.

I would probably just turn around if I saw and understood what I was looking at. Definitely wouldn't go back a second time.
