Philly’s a union town. The local probably is happy they shut down three non-union businesses.
Atlas Shrugged, Twentieth Century Motor Car Corporation..................

Asked and answered.
OCF Cofffee is owned as a sideline by OCF Realty. The owner says the coffee has never really made a profit.
There are a few credit unions that have opened coffee shops as a sideline. Is this some kind of new trend?
Stuned.
"Lake of Regard" has entered the FR Lexicon along with "stuned", "beeber", "Tijuna", and so on.
It was in the Freeper thread pertaining to current level of discourse created by LukeL, where he bemoans the lake of regard on FR, and says he has been called a lair.
One of the later women interviewed said they believed the owners could afford to pay everyone a few more dollars and hour.
Well, I get the owners thought that was not workable.
What was interesting to me was that it wasn’t the union that was the problem, but the added legals costs the union added that pushed it over the cliff, according to the man they interviewed.
Market Distortion: Unions can artificially inflate wages and benefits beyond what a competitive market would naturally determine. This can lead to inefficiencies as businesses might have to increase prices to cover higher labor costs, ultimately harming consumers .
Reduced Flexibility: Unions often impose rigid work rules and resist changes in work practices. This can make it difficult for businesses to adapt quickly to market conditions, innovate, and optimize productivity .
Barrier to Entry: Unionization can increase the cost of entry for new businesses, which can stifle competition and innovation. By raising the labor costs, unions can deter new players from entering the market, leading to less competition and potentially higher prices for consumers .
Individual Freedom: Laissez-faire capitalism emphasizes individual choice and voluntary association. Compulsory union membership or closed shops can infringe on workers' freedom to choose whether or not to join a union, which goes against the principles of personal liberty and voluntary association central to free market ideals .
Economic Inefficiency: By protecting less productive workers and making it difficult to dismiss underperforming employees, unions can contribute to economic inefficiency. This can result in lower overall productivity and economic growth .
These factors together suggest that in a free market laissez-faire capitalist system, opposition to unions is rooted in the desire to maintain market efficiency, flexibility, competition, and individual freedom.
coffee shop employees reportedly making between 9 yo 13 dollars an hour, and then they went union????
they messed their own rug! now, after this video, i dont gthink they will be hired soon.
While unions served a purpose decades ago, they now do nothing more than raise the cost of everything they are associated with while providing little if any positives. They beg the question: “If unions are so great why don’t they establish their own enterprises and show us how great they are?” Unions exist primarily as a money laundering operation for the DNC, and source of largesse for “the connected”.
Hey ya entitled trolls: now you make $0 an hour.
Sweet! And I don’t mean carmel macchiato.
Nice!
They’ve been clearing and sweeping Kensington. It’s an election year.
Natch!
“Lake of Regard “
I thought that was previously determined to be hate speech. Of course, I could be a lair.
