How are you defining him a a good man exactly?

Kirk called for journalist Mehdi Hasan to be deported and deplatformed over his views.
Kirk’s TPUSA put professors on a public watchlist, sometimes merely for expressing political opinions.
Kirk advocated using state power to suppress critical-race-related teaching.
He supported speech-related consequences for some non-American students and residents.
He welcomed opponents at his debates, but he was not a consistent free-speech absolutist.

Can I interview both of you guys on this topic on a panel, a respectful conversation about sovereignty and privacy?

I'd like to lose the rhetoric "giving up sovereignty for custodied privacy" and instead discuss trade offs and risks we all make, encouraging people to look into bitcoin, nostr, cashu, Damus, and coinos.

The goal for me is just interviewing a couple of my most technically talented friends, secondary is mass market accessibility to these important topics.

It depends where you're putting your attention of course, but I think most countries suffer from "corporate journalism" (what most people call MSM). I call it corporate media instead, because if profits are the priority, click bait and provocation sells, not objective (as non-biased as possible) research and story telling exploring both/multiple sides of a topic.
We also have a lot of really good journalism here, but it's usually long-form, and that doesn't bode well for keyboard warriors looking for stories that resonate with one's pre-existing confirmation bias.

Although rare, I know many (mostly Canadians, where I live) who identify as journalists who don't pretend not to be personally biased, but as a journalist strive to share both sides and perspectives of an issue.

Although not a professional journalist myself, I try to do this on social media/blogging, and welcome constructive critical debate when I miss a perspective. You shouldn't know a journalist's position if they are a good journalist -- said another way, if you know a writer's bias or position, they're not a (good) journalist.

It does humanity no good in a polarizing world to go extreme with bias even though the result is more clicks, as that just increases polarization. This also erodes critical thought, as we can easily hear listening to keyboard warriors who follow extreme "news" -- I enjoy telling people what they watch/listen to/read when they share their political position, as their lack of critical thinking and dogma demonstrates this.

Don't conflate all employers with some. Many major chains do this, but most mom + pop sized restaurants have razor thin margins ... maybe a happy medium would be based on revenue/profit, like if your restaurant is making over 100k/year, all of your staff need to be paid at least minimum wage.

But really, the countries that accept tips also have an atrocious non-livable minimum wage that doesn't match the inflation from their endless money printing / central bank relationship, but that's for another day :D

_________________________

I would agree philosophically, but in countries that take tips, employers are usually allowed to pay their staff lower than minimum wage, thus allowing the workers to not declare that tip income, getting them closer to a livable income they would not have with just minimum wage rates -- so would require Denmark like restaurant wages, thus Denmark like restaurant prices, to be sustainable, without tips.
