The Vancouver Sun is one of the two major mainstream rags in British Columbia, an oracle for the official narrative, so one might not expect a lot from it. Of course, I don’t read this journalistic miracle (it’s a miracle that people are paying for it), but I got tipped off about one of its recent articles that might serve as a sign for what’s coming. The author of the article is probably not posing as the Great Prognosticator, but sometimes little stories give away unpublicized plans for the future. Something similar happened during the truckers’ protest, when the rulers showed that the non-compliant would have no access to their own bank account. Considering all this, the next report might generate a moment of epiphany without the slightest intent by the author, Josh Freed:
So, according to the article, you are extorted in stores and by services to “tip” the worker for something that had never required a tip before. Your money will support whoever (where do the “tips” end up?), while paying the employees would still be the employer’s responsibility. Consider garages and plumbers, who have ripped you off, anyway, with no guarantee that their work would be worth a penny and they wouldn’t cheat you. How about the used car salesman, who sells you a piece of crap with no warranty, but graciously extorting at least a 15% “tip”?
IN a grocery store, the writer was given the option of “tipping” at 15, 20, or 25%, forcing him into a lose-lose double bind. I was somewhat sorry for him, because he elected to pay 15% only because he didn’t have his reader’s glasses at hand and did not want to keep the line waiting. In his stead, I would have loudly announced the ruse to everyone, demanded a “no tip” option and, if that not granted, walked out of the store. He complied as someone, who must have been used to wearing a muzzle for well over a year, allowed a poker in his nose twice a month and received at least one, if not two “boosters.”
Notice that the whole scam is based on cash not being accepted, which is the next chapter in the globalists’ book.
So, when it comes to the freedom of choice, George Carlin is becoming more right than ever:

* Could it be that this way, inflation might slow down to a less spectacular level? After all, more money is in circulation, but more money is used, too.
Inflation is kept in check through taxation. That is the only function of the income tax.
I paid exact change at a dive through window yesterday and the teller was surprised.
