We all should know the phrase "go woke, go broke". But there is a corollary "start woke, go broke faster".
There's oodles of nonsense in this story but the bottom line is that the two queer operators did not know how to manage the bottom line. As the building owner (the mother of one of the two operators) said in the article, the business had been failing for a while and she had been subsidizing it.
The uber-woke employees (sounds mostly black) recently piled on making insane demands including the operators "redistributing" the business to them to fight gentrification or sumthin'.
It's hard enough to run a successful restaurant. It's nearly impossible when you're trying to make social justice your top-selling product.

If I had a nickel for every workers’ collective that has gone broke since the 70’s I’d be...a capitalist...

Did it have all women employees? That would be the kiss of death as well.

Some of the workers have started a GoFundMe page to try to raise money to buy the building where the cafe is located... They're almost a month in and they've raised about $11,000 of their goal of $200,000. Looks like the collective is going to lose.

Mina's employees got uppity. Now they don't have jobs. No more free coffee either.
