Stay out of politics if you are a business.

That's what got him in trouble, his studio's hired media team tweeting on Instagram a lighthearted message about recreation during the middle of the George Floyd riots.

they are subverting the justice system, free enterprise, and providence only knows what else, all at once.

also, the covid loan seemed to work about as well as i hope i would have anticipated had i been in the guy’s shoes: a complete disaster, so avoid it and go out of business instead of taking the loan and taking over the risk that business might take forever to come back for reasons effectively beyond ones control.

“Why, exactly, is this happening?”

When a political movement intent on a clandestine takeover is outed they will do one of 2 things. They will turn tail and run or go all in using a scorched earth policy.

Looksvas if wevare seeing #2.

The Babylon Bee couldn’t have written a funnier piece! LMAO!!

I nominate the owner, Harrington, as Cuck Of the Year.

The only thing missing, would have doubled me over, is the article ending with him killing himself.

what exactly is happening is God is allowing hardship for people , so maybe instead of glorifying their business ideals or themselves or such things they will seek HIM? That’s what all life is for and about, chances to seek God, accept Jesus, live filled with The Holy Spirit. Eternity is a really long time. Life and time to get over yourself (each person needs to) and make a wise choice, is very short.

Instead of sitting on a hill wondering what happen to his business, he should be praising God for the redirection and thanking God for another chance to get in line with God’s will instead of his own self made plans.

NOTHING is terrifying if you believe in Jesus.

Read the entire article. It’s well worth it for insight into what is happening.

This was a handful of disgruntled employees led by one angry woman who has bullied her boss into bankruptcy, costing every employee of his businesses their jobs regardless of the color of their skin.

And now that she’s got him out of the way, she plans to open her own business which will of course, focus on POC. She hopes to bankroll it with bullying her ex-boss into paying reparations to his former employees whom she claims he has wronged (with what I don’t know; maybe she doesn’t understand the meaning of bankruptcy). And she’ll do that by an onslaught of phone calls and e-mails from her social media followers (she helpfully published his contact info on her blog).

Bottom line: This is how a Leftist Activist treats a person who was wholly on her side and striving to help her cause. But it wasn’t enough or it wasn’t fast enough to please her or... whatever.

I’m turning deaf to the cries of Racism because I’m seeing more and more of it on the the minority side. And it seems less and less that it’s justice they want and more and more that they’re out for blood.

Don’t walk away from your business for 3+ years. That isn’t a business, it is a hobby.

Berserkers and savages destroy everything and everyone. Their joy is in the destruction and so is their gold. The only way to stop them is to say no and fight back.

Say it is a lie
Say that they want my business.
Say they are unstable.
Throw a cease and desist.
Hire goons.
Protect property and family.
Fight back.

The great irony of this is that he probably would have avoided this problem if he never hired anyone other than white people to work for him in the first place.

Having said that, I'd point out that his business model was a disaster from the start:

The company’s donation-based model meant that all were welcome, regardless of their ability to pay.

The article does say the business was operating in the red even before the COVID-19 fiasco.

Go figure. Nineteen years is a long time to be a "start-up" company.

Something must be done. We must figure out what that is. I haven't seen a good idea yet, sorry to say it.

Read up on Pinochet.

That won't work neither. Silence is Violence!

Don't know what business you're in, but I'm in business - an I don't need/want lefties as clients or around me or my family period. I tell them, to their faces, every day, what PIECES OF SHIT they are whenever I find them on my social media... right in front of their friends and family - and my friends, family, all my clients and customers.

My wife's friends know this about me. So do my neighbors. And I don't give a fk and make plenty of money anyway.

Without a dependable individual or corporate sponsor underwriting it, pay-what-you-can enterprises generally do not work. There are any number of restaurants that have tried this and failed.
