It didn’t work because Joy Behar wasn’t in charge.

"In many ways, this whole experiment is ultimately a test of humanity," Shaich said in a TEDx talk

It really, is. Probably just not in the way he thinks it is.

I almost wish that one had opened nearby.

...but then again, I don’t think I could bring myself to basically be dishonest.

While Panera Cares billed itself as a "non-profit" restaurant designed to feed low-income people

In a free and rational modern division of labor society. profits are the means and motive of production and economic progress which is necessary for increases in mass prosperity

Socialism always fails

Always and everywhere because it denies and dehumanizes mankind. Its adoption could easily lead to the start of Dark Ages 2.0.

That experiment could provide some valuable data for economists.

Proving once again socialism only works on paper; never in real life real world situations.

And they thought people would pay a fair price out of the goodness of their hearts?

Yeah, right.....

They overestimate the inherent goodness of man.

Who would have guessed that people mobbed what the saw as a a something for nothing offer?

You routinely see financially self sustaining families eating at homeless shelters during the holidays like Thanksgiving, then brag about it.

The world is full of parasites that think the givers are just suckers.

That’s why you’re a conservative. You look at consequences and deal in transactions with your neighbors.

Those who push socialism the hardest are those who think they are more deserving the others and those with the mind of a thief. The mind of a looter. They don’t care what it took to produce that meal or item in the store.

I’d be terrified of the food.
That’s probably unfair, but
I still wouldn’t take the chance.
