You're probably implying that most HN users live in CA, OR, and WA where tipping wages are not legal.
Hopefully you're not referring to the NYC area. NYC tipping wage is $5/hr less than minimum. NY state is almost $4/hr under. NJ and MA are more than $7/hr under. DE and RI are more than $6/hr under. MD is more than $5/hr under. PA is more than $4/hr under. CT isn't too bad, though, at within $2/hr under.
Somehow I doubt you're implying most HN users live in HI, IA, or ND - the only other states with legal tipping wages within $3/hr of minimum. I also doubt you're implying most HN users live in AK, MN, MT, or NV - the only other states without legal tipping wages.
Not that it matters. Even if the overwhelming majority of HN users lived in a west coast state (maybe it used to be that way, but I'm skeptical of that now), most HN users also probably don't work as restaurant staff. A bad thing isn't less bad just because it doesn't directly affect you.
Do you have an actual point to make against anything I've said?
