President Donald Trump has promised to eliminate taxes on tips, a key campaign pledge aimed at benefiting the hospitality industry. Speaking in Las Vegas at the circa resort and casino, Trump emphasized that service workers’ tips should be entirely tax-free. He also remarked, 'America's decline is over.'

Donald Trump pledges to end tax on tips in Las Vegas

Former United States president and presumptive Republican nominee&nbsp;Donald Trump, while addressing a Las Vegas campaign rally amid sweltering heat on Sunday (June 9), said to the crowd that he will end taxation of income from tips.

This vow of ending taxation seemed to be a direct appeal to the service workers in the state of Nevada which apparently, seems to already be leaning in favour of the Republican leader.&nbsp;

With this announcement, Trump added another point to his vague tax plan which has so far included tax relief to small businesses and middle-income workers. As per the current law, the tipped employees needed to report those tips as income.

“So this is the first time I’ve said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips people [are] making,” said the former president, while addressing thousands of those who had gathered in&nbsp;Nevada.

Trump added that he would “do that right away, first thing in office”, and emphasised in prepared remarks that he will seek legislation in Congress for making the change.

“You do a great job of service, you take care of people and I think it’s going to be something that really is deserved," he added.

<h2>Trump&nbsp;appears irritated at teleprompters not working, says 'sweating like a dog'&nbsp;</h2>

During the rally, Trump appeared irritated as he complained that the teleprompters were not working.

In the campaign rally, extra medics were hired, fans and water bottles were loaded and supporters were allowed to carry umbrellas during the outdoor rally as temperatures soared above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius).&nbsp;

“I don’t want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don’t care about you. I just want your vote,” Trump said, and later added that he was joking. &nbsp;

“They never mentioned me. I’m up here sweating like a dog. This is hard work," the former president said.

Trump came back to&nbsp;Nevada, which is one of the top battleground states in the November election, days after he was found guilty&nbsp;in a hush-money scandal.

NAPLAN is an acronym that stands for National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy. It is an annual standardised test given to students in grades 3, 5, 7, and 9 in Australia. NAPLAN is designed to assess students' literacy and numeracy skills and provide data that can be used to improve teaching and learning in these areas. The NAPLAN examination is divided into four sections: reading, writing, language conventions (spelling, grammar, and punctuation), and numeracy. NAPLAN has sparked debate, with some educators and parents questioning the value of standardised testing and the stress it places on students and teachers. Proponents of the test, on the other hand, argue that it provides valuable information about students' skills and aids in identifying areas where additional support may be required.

Plan your response: Before you begin writing, take a few minutes to plan your response. This will assist you in organising your thoughts and ensuring that you address all of the important points in your response. Make use of effective writing techniques, such as clear and concise sentences, varied sentence structure, and appropriate vocabulary. Avoid using overly complicated or slang language. Keep it on the topic: Make certain that your writing is topic-focused and that you address all of the key points in your response. Avoid deviating from the topic or including irrelevant information.

NAPLAN Practice Test: 2023 Schedule, Tips for Reading & Writing and How to Prepare for Grade (Year) 3,5,7 & 9

The District of Columbia in the US said on Wednesday (December 6) that it is suing e-commerce giant Amazon for allegedly stealing tips from Flex service delivery drivers in order to boost profits and reduce costs.

The lawsuit says that Amazon was breaking local law on deceptive trade practices.

"When a company is caught stealing from its workers, it is not enough for the company to repay the amount stolen," Karl Racine, attorney general of the local Washington, DC government, argued in the suit.

"Stealing from workers is theft, and significant penalties are necessary to strongly disincentivize this unlawful conduct."

The lawsuit is aimed at Amazon.com and Amazon logistics. It contends that from late 2016 to mid-2019, Amazon tricked consumers who thought that the tip money was being paid to Flex service drivers while in reality, it was being used for reducing operating costs.

"Amazon, one of the world's wealthiest companies, certainly does not need to take tips that belong to workers," Racine said in a release.

"Amazon can and should do better."

Amazon launched Flex in 2015, offering drivers the opportunity to earn from $18 to $25 hourly, plus tips, for using their own vehicles to deliver groceries or packages for the company.

"Nothing is more important to us than customer trust," Amazon spokesperson Maria Boschetti said in response to an AFP inquiry.

"This lawsuit involves a practice we changed three years ago and is without merit - all of the customer tips at issue were already paid to drivers as part of a settlement last year with the FTC."

Amazon sued and accused of 'stealing' tips given to delivery drivers

While we should raise awareness about the perils of pollution, global warming, and climate change every day, we must take extra measures and put extra effort to warn mankind about the many dangers that threaten the planet on World Environment Day.&nbsp;

June 5 marks World Environment Day every year. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme in 1973. The day aims to encourage people to shift to a greener, cleaner, and more sustainable lifestyle to protect humankind and the planet.

On this day, experts share easy tips and tricks to&nbsp;lead a sustainable and eco-friendly life. If you, too, are planning to make the amazing switch, take note of the following.

It's not a difficult or unachievable task to go green without amping up your expenses. All you need is some dedication and awareness.

By making simple lifestyle changes, you can help save the environment and humankind. Here're a few!

Environment-friendly energy sources

Experts suggest that we must switch to environment-friendly energy sources and stop burning fuels that emit harmful gases. Replacing your petrol or diesel car with an electric vehicle can be a good start. You can also drive a vehicle that runs on&nbsp;compressed natural gas, also known as CNG. Health-conscious people can also switch to cycles for short commutes.

Advocate the 5R rule

5R refers to refuse, reduce, reuse, renew and recycle. In your everyday life, adopt this concept and change the way you live.

Sustainable clothing options

Buy clothes from brands that have a sustainable manufacturing approach. Go thrift shopping, donate your clothes and upcycle to create new looks.

<img alt="reusable items" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f3dc536b-ece3-4d17-b575-6dad0117c5f0" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Reusable%20items.jpg" />

Limit plastic usage

All of us know that single-use plastic is harmful to Earth so why don't you switch to reusable cups, bags, and other items? It’s best to avoid using plastic on a day-to-day basis. And, for that, you must consider removing single-use plastic items from your house.

Limit dairy and meat consumption

Did you know that you can protect the environment by simply limiting your dairy and meat consumption? Well, scientists suggest that the meat and dairy industry makes several billions tons of CO2, nitrous oxide, and methane gases that are harmful to nature. So, instead of eating packaged meat products and dairy products, eat organically grown vegetables and fruits.

The Indian government has asked restaurants to not include the service charge in the final bill.

Drop service charge from food bills, Indian govt tells restaurants

You may have unconditional love for your partner, but you don&rsquo;t need to put all of that out on display to the world. And before you mistake us for an anti-PDA (Public Display of Affection) brigade, let us clear that out. We are neither intending to celebrate Valentine&rsquo;s Day by preaching healthy relationships nor we expect you to abstain yourself from expressing feelings to your partner in public. In fact, the idea here is to remind couples of tech etiquette, which is usually found missing in modern-day relationships. And what other day could be better than Valentine&rsquo;s Day to put together such dos and don&rsquo;ts?

1. We understand that you want to be up to date with what&rsquo;s happening in your partner&rsquo;s life, but it&rsquo;s not a good idea to snoop on his online activities.&nbsp; Because you have passwords to all his accounts, doesn&rsquo;t mean you should log in to them every now and then. Believe it or not, it could prove to be unhealthy for relationships in a long run.

2. No one is going to come and tell you that you need to cut down on your lovey-dovey posts and mushy pictures on social networks. It&rsquo;s you who need to understand that everything between a couple doesn&rsquo;t need to go out. Of course, it&rsquo;s your account and you are free to use it the way you want, but don&rsquo;t forget, it&rsquo;s a public platform too. Do you really want to take people to your bedroom?

3. A healthy sign of a successful relationship is the respect for each other&rsquo;s personal space. You must be an understanding partner and giving your better half the much-needed space in life. But have you ever thought about digital space? With most of us spending a lot of time online, it&rsquo;s imperative to understand that the space in digital life matters as much as the space in real life. 
 
For instance, you don&rsquo;t need to know all online activities of your partner on social networks. A lot of inside jokes go into conversations with friends and colleagues on social platforms and you may not understand all of them. So, it&rsquo;s better that you don&rsquo;t bother yourself and annoy your partner with unnecessary questions.

4. PDA on social networks is fine, but its overdose isn&rsquo;t. A carefree person like you might not mind people talking about you getting into excessive PDA, but make sure that you are not spamming their news feeds with things not of their interest. So, it&rsquo;s better that you keep an eye on when you go overboard with things on public platforms. In fact, it makes more sense to have personal conversations in a private space. And for that matter, you can keep them limited to instant messengers. After all, that is what messengers are for. 
 
5. No matter how vindictive you feel, we suggest that you don&rsquo;t send messages to your ex or your partner&rsquo;s ex. You have no idea what all it could snowball into and how badly it could backfire you. &nbsp; 
 
6. We don&rsquo;t encourage your habit of peeping into your partner&rsquo;s screen. You are a companion and not an FBI agent assigned with a task to keep a track of someone&rsquo;s movements. Your partner might not object to it explicitly, but it could be uncomfortable for the other person to be monitored all the time. Or what if she is planning a surprise for you? We are sure you wouldn&rsquo;t want it to be ruined. 
 
7. Most importantly, if you can&rsquo;t keep yourself from going overboard with your love life on social media, make sure you share the post breakup scenario too. You can&rsquo;t leave your audience hanging. After showing us the entire movie, you can&rsquo;t keep us away from the climax. So isn&rsquo;t it better to be in control of your moves from the beginning?

And before you mistake us for an anti-PDA (Public Display of Affection) brigade, let us clear that out. We are neither intending to celebrate Valentine’s Day by preaching healthy relationships nor we expect you to abstain yourself from expressing feelings to your partner in public. In fact, the idea here is to remind couples of tech etiquette, which is usually found missing in modern-day relationships. And what other day could be better than Valentine’s Day to put together such dos and don’ts? 1. We understand that you want to be up to date with what’s happening in your partner’s life, but it’s not a good idea to snoop on his online activities. Because you have passwords to all his accounts, doesn’t mean you should log in to them every now and then. Believe it or not, it could prove to be unhealthy for relationships in a long run. 2. No one is going to come and tell you that you need to cut down on your lovey-dovey posts and mushy pictures on social networks. It’s you who need to understand that everything between a couple doesn’t need to go out. Of course, it’s your account and you are free to use it the way you want, but don’t forget, it’s a public platform too. Do you really want to take people to your bedroom? 3. A healthy sign of a successful relationship is the respect for each other’s personal space. You must be an understanding partner and giving your better half the much-needed space in life. But have you ever thought about digital space? With most of us spending a lot of time online, it’s imperative to understand that the space in digital life matters as much as the space in real life. For instance, you don’t need to know all online activities of your partner on social networks. A lot of inside jokes go into conversations with friends and colleagues on social platforms and you may not understand all of them. So, it’s better that you don’t bother yourself and annoy your partner with unnecessary questions. 4. PDA on social networks is fine, but its overdose isn’t. A carefree person like you might not mind people talking about you getting into excessive PDA, but make sure that you are not spamming their news feeds with things not of their interest. So, it’s better that you keep an eye on when you go overboard with things on public platforms. In fact, it makes more sense to have personal conversations in a private space. And for that matter, you can keep them limited to instant messengers. After all, that is what messengers are for. 5. No matter how vindictive you feel, we suggest that you don’t send messages to your ex or your partner’s ex. You have no idea what all it could snowball into and how badly it could backfire you. 6. We don’t encourage your habit of peeping into your partner’s screen. You are a companion and not an FBI agent assigned with a task to keep a track of someone’s movements. Your partner might not object to it explicitly, but it could be uncomfortable for the other person to be monitored all the time. Or what if she is planning a surprise for you? We are sure you wouldn’t want it to be ruined. 7. Most importantly, if you can’t keep yourself from going overboard with your love life on social media, make sure you share the post breakup scenario too. You can’t leave your audience hanging. After showing us the entire movie, you can’t keep us away from the climax. So isn’t it better to be in control of your moves from the beginning? (WION)
