In the news, the restaurateur Danny Meyer recently sat down, of, of, of Shake Shack and other restaurants, to, uh, was interviewed by the Firing Line's Margaret Hoover, and he talked about including the tip, the European style versus the American style, where we tip, um, as we will.

And he experimented in one of his restaurants for quite some time by including the tip, adding it to the tab, and then sharing it with the employees, and he basically said it didn't work out, that Americans enjoy tipping, and that...

So for him, he went back to the old system where tipping is expected and allowed.

I got into the show Firing Line, and one of the last episodes I watched, the host, Margaret Hoover, interviewed Nebula founder Dave Wittkus, and they ended up talking about how conservative influencers have more traction than liberals, so I thought perfect inspo for an episode to give my take.

I'll back up and say how I went from lib to independent.

That simple philosophy has carried Danny Meyer to dizzying heights since he opened his first restaurant, Union Square Cafe, in Manhattan when he was just 27.
