Let’s tip our hats to small business as well. The “Black Olives Matter” guy is still doing fine:
The owner of an Italian restaurant in New Mexico, who put up a billboard saying, “Black Olives Matter,” is now expanding his marketing strategy to hats, t-shirts, and Facebook ads after making national headlines.
Rick Camuglia, owner of Paisano’s of Albuquerque, drew fire from critics last month because of how his advertisement mimics the “Black Lives Matter” movement, KOAT News reports.
Camuglia’s reason for putting the slogan on hats and shirts was because restaurant supporters wanted to buy souvenirs from the restaurant.
As a result, business has been booming.
“People have filled the restaurant and told us to leave up the sign,” Camuglia said to KOAT-TV. “That’s great, you know, because a lot of people make a living off working for this restaurant.”

I'll have to eat there if I get over to Albuquerque.
