Cancer is not a virus so your not going to get a vaccine against it, it's a genetic mutation in DNA now you could treat against things that increase the risk of ovarian cancer HPV which is a Virus.

Nobody gives a F anymore, Covid got replaced with War, and Ukraine.

A business has to turn a profit, first no profit no business no employees most people that do own restaurants are not wealthy, you have to consider all perspectives not just one.

Pretty sure europe is more expensive and has a much smaller population and not as much competition.

I can tell you atleast in Florida the employees would much rather have Tips then a standard $15 wage.

Your country also isn't the United States with 320 Million people, the circumstances are different here, Low Skilled Labor Jobs are Competitive, a Waiter Or Waitress makes the most because of Tips also you have to understand here Higher Wages have hidden costs what employees makes the employer also has to pay more to Insure, Higher Unemployment Tax, Higher Fico Taxes an Employer pays 7.5% of Wages as a social security and Medicare tax as the Other 7.5% is payed by the employee. Restaurants are extremely competitive, so very low margins that's why fast food is so popular here lower operating costs because of large scale distribution centers.

Tips go largely unreported as taxes, which allows people to afford to live 30% of your income when your poor is the difference between poverty and the ability to improve your life and gain higher skill quality.

Food Prices increase as costs increase most people running Restaurants are not wealthy your probably lucky to gross 60 or 70k with one location unless you sell upscale food in a highly urban area, most of the United States is Suburban or Rural, and the Tips mostly come into play in Rural Small towns, your local diner is a primary employer.

We have regulated standard prices in the fast Food Industry and they are the lowest payed employees in the Food Service Sector. Your McDonald's Chipotle Taco Bell Wendy's etc etc.....

It's customer service they deserve it, I personally tip 20%+ of the sale, restaurants have to operate and crazy low margins unless they are upscale it allows the food to be competitively priced, Tipping allows skilled staff to get ahead in life without a ridiculous tax burden as well as have flexible hours that allow them to complete degrees to go into a higher paying workforce generateing more taxes. It's fair and it's works, regulating restaurants in the US would just drive up costs and the places would close people have to be able to afford the food they want to purchase.

You could regulate it like a normal job but that $10 burger now becomes $20 and that's going to prevent lower income people from going out at all, aswell as reducing pay for wait staff that on good days can make over $25-$30 per hour of work to $15 that won't pay rent.

You tip for the service, unlike buying a product a good service means a good tip, that rewards people good at there Job and punishes people doing the bare minimum.

It also allows people a job with relatively low skill to earn a decent rate of income.
