“I bet he’ll still vote Democrat.”
He opened the place 3 years ago, when NY City was a cesspool, and only getting cessier. He’s not just a Democrat, he’s an IDIOT Democrat, and now his family will pay the price...but given his picture, I doubt there’s much of a family.
He was supposed to open a restaurant in New York City to launder money, not to make a profit.
“ The combination of inflation, rising crime”
Stolen elections and illegitimate presidents have consequences.
The restaurant business has always been tough.
Add in high mandated costs such as wages and health care benefits and high food costs caused by fossil fuel-hating fools, and it is increasingly just too much.
Democrat or IDIOT Democrat. Sometimes I wonder if it is now possible to tell a difference.
Along with everything that has been said, I would submit that he NYC restaurant business is make-believe in that the prices they charge would be unsustainable almost anywhere else.
People outside of big cities will usually just eat at home rather than pay $100 for a meal, even if they can afford to.
Opening a restaurant in a city run by Democrats, and complaining about a health care system that has been ruined by Democrats.
But by closing, top politicians won’t get their free meals.
They never learn, do they.
“...when the true value of essential workers and the inequities they faced finally pierced the public consciousness...”
Equity and its evil twin inequity are the root cause of the problem.
I wonder if the diversity of his clientel was limited by his security team. A lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion may have led to his failure.
No Worries! The Hussein/Biden Regime will just take over the restaurant, provide a 0% interest “loan” to the up and coming, fantastic organization that comes with its own security. This organization has been branching out to many countries, many US cities, with a proven business model.
Yes, none other than those darlings from Venezuela.... Tren De Aragua!
Their menu should be very interesting.
Not necessarily. Getting mugged by reality is often the first step that sets Democrats on the road to becoming Republican. Years ago, I met a former SDS member who suddenly became a rabid Republican. He had to drop out of college for several years after his girlfriend became pregnant and he had to get a full time job to support his soon to be wife and infant son. He was shocked by his first paycheck at what the government took in taxes and the lot.
That is where I stopped reading.
Ain’t Communism Wonderful
If the story ended with him saying “...and that’s why I voted for Trump in 2024”, I’d have some respect for him.
Vote Dim, get dim. Live Dim, get dimmer.
“Welcome to the party pal.”
“I had to say goodbye to my talented staff and lifelong dream of owning a restaurant.”
Pick a city in America next time mate,
TLDR: NYTimes trying to justify the murder of the UNH CEO. Again.
The reason we can’t have restaurants is because we don’t have single-payer, government-run healthcare
got it?
