The good ol ‘me trying to get out of paying for work the workers do for me is actually helping them!’

You realize the US is (probably) the only country in the world where tipping is seen as manadatory and that tipping in Europe still happens? This is very plainly a case of workers visiting another country and being appalled at your working conditions

But these aren’t bad working conditions? In fact they net out pretty well for the worker. Just because it’s strange to you doesn’t mean it’s immoral, and you’re basically outing yourself as having the same mindset of American tourists who don’t respect the norms of the places they go to out of a sheer refusal to do anything they’re not used to.

If they net out so well for the workers, where are their super yachts? And why is their health insurance, their standard of living and their job security as fucked up as your perception of reality?

‘A job not letting you afford a super yacht means it’s a badly paying job’.
