Finally, An App That Splits The Bill So That White Men Pay More

According to the Institute of Women’s Policy Research, women in America won’t be paid as much as men for the same work for another 100 or so years. But thanks to a new app, we can even the playing field soon. That is, when we go out to eat.
The app, called Equitable, is designed to split group restaurant bills based on gender and racial wage gaps. So if you’re a white man brunching with a black woman and a Latina, be prepared to pay a little extra for that avocado toast. Hey, it’s not our fault! It’s the patriarchy.
According to the app’s website, “EquiTable helps you avoid the entrenched discrimination that exists in our society. It doesn’t split the bill equally — it splits it equitably. You pay what you should to balance out the wage gap.”
The app uses Bureau of Labor Statistics data in order to calculate who should pay what at the end of dinner or brunch, ensuring that those with less privilege (anyone whose not white and male, basically) pay less to eat.

Thank you God. I've been needing an app like this to even everything up for my less fortunate friends

Just end it. I'm convinced this type of shite caused the collapse of the Romans.

Don't they count part time jobs in their equations at the BLS? IE a mother who helps at the school but still takes care of the children.

Wonder if it splits the tip at the same time?

Anyone trying to pull that shite is not anyone I would be dining with again.

As a transracial genderqueer, it's about fricking time we get even

Hey this is a huge improvement over what I usually pay when I eat out with my SO (100%)
I'll see what she thinks of it

So That White Men Pay More
I'm pretty sure in every way, white men pay more already.

Why would I go to lunch with a woman that I wouldn't be willing to pick up the tab for?

Wtf is this shite....

White men always use math to manipulate and marginalize, they'll find a way around this.

So does the waiter use the app or the clientele?

This is essentially the basic thought process of a majority of Americans. Fortunately they don't exercise their right to vote in any significant numbers.
