What will our generation frown upon, that our grandchildren will find acceptable?

thats pretty acceptable already in some places

Really, where would you go as a group now and not tip when you would have in the past?

the question is where DO you tip?
are you from the UK?

I never tip

Anywhere

I mean I'm not that old or well off but even if I go to a nice resteraunt for a one off nice meal with friend is never tip, and neither does anybody else. I thought that was an American thing.

Yes I am.

I don't unless I'm with a prospective partner or a group.

I tend to round the cost of a taxi or haircut up, and I thought a 10% tip in a restaurant was customary - no?

I've very little doubt that eating meat will be seen as an abomination.

I didn't say it was perfect, or even practical. I was just correcting a misconception.

A. Yes perhaps it would, but surely less of a class system than we see today? This system would ensure that wages are fair, reduce the disparity in wages between professions and encourage people to pursue a profession they would enjoy, rather than purely for monetary gain.

B. Possibly something along those lines, although maybe democratically establishing a sort of formula for wages where wages are decided based on what society views as deserving of higher wages e.g. danger of labour, benefit to society of labour etc.

C. No system thus far has been truly 'Marxist' which is, as far as I know, where this idea stems from.

People would still shoot for the jobs that pay the best, it just would no longer be CEO's of big companies.

That's so impractical, yet another flaw with communism.

If it's such a great idea then why is that the case? Obviously it doesn't have enough support

Some would, some wouldn't. There's still an awful lot of benefits to it.

It's not impractical, it would just take a change in system which is absolutely not impractical.

Perhaps because people are told this system we live is the best and all other systems are utopian. All great ideas start small.

You'd still have the same percentage of people motivated by money when picking a job.

You think it's practical to literally go through every different job that exists in the UK and decide a salary for it by having everyone write a number and then taking an average? Also what then happens 15 years later when a lot of the kids who were too young to vote grow up? You'll have a new segment of the population who didn't get any say in the wages.

Yeah great idea's do smart small but so do awful ones, communism is the latter

I think I've addressed most the points in this post already, so looks like we've hit a stale mate
