Patriarchy, White Supremacy, Capitalism cannot be reformed

It's awful. I would be living comfortably in a villa on a private island in the Caribbean were it not for those scourges.

The bottom line truth can be found at their website:
" … reasons for the closure are increased expenses and the lack of funds …"

So there you have it. Expenses exceed income. Who woulda thunk it!

But it gets more interesting. It seems they expected people to volunteer to work at this business for free. Great business plan. It seems there was a "lack of volunteers" to run the joint. Who woulda thunk it!

But it even gets funnier! Hard to believe, but evidently they had a tie-in with some PBS TV show which actually paid them money, coin of the realm, for being part of some PBS sitcom. But what happened?

Liberals, true to their nature, never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. This female bookstore decided to stop accepting the money because of the patriarchy/capitalist/establishment nature of PBS. LOL!

I'm sure the other reasons include "that time of month" and "my kid's sick". The usual.

But ulitimate insane reason is that their were too many honky females: uber liberal white-as-the-driven-snowflake feminists who weren't "intersectional enough" due to their white skin, European-American genes, patriarchy, straight sexuality, and bourgeois lifestyles. In other words, the customers weren't total freaks, only halfway freaks.

a volunteer-run bookstore


A book store with unpaid employees can’t make a profit?
You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.

How can that be. I thought we were all Neanderthals and couldn’t read.

Free market capitalism at work weeding out the lesser desirable business. This reminds me of the photo of a protestor wearing the sign “$96,000 for a degree in lesbian (or something like that) studies and I can’t find a job!”. If you want to sell something at least assess demand for the product and research demographics for strength of your target market.

““Patriarchy, White Supremacy, Capitalism cannot be reformed and ever serve the people. Abolition is the goal.””

Gee, I wish I could go there!

OPB says she’s “keeping the space free or low cost and open to all-ages, with an eye to anti-capitalist, anti-racist, intersectional work.”

sounds like a description of a communist organization

Books need an affirmative action plan. You must buy at least one unpopular book for every popular book you buy.

Your home is already full of books? You must buy books deemed worthy of being best sellers, even when they are not, until parity is reached.

And your legacy books have been in your house for how long? You are not allowed any books you like until the books you don’t like have been in your house an equal amount of time.

“Which demographic was the most unwelcome in that store?”

probably the ones that had enough money to buy their crappy, over-priced books ...
