ROTFL! Congratulations hosers!
“SOCIALISM DOES NOT PAY”
We’re they capitalizing on other people’s generosity through “donations” to keep the store afloat for the year?
More proof that socialism works perfectly...Until it runs out of other people’s money.
Were they having a problem with their balance sheet?
owner Gabriel Sims-Fewer:
“It’s been an amazing experience, connecting with so many great community members, sparking desperately needed debate, raising the blood pressure of Conservatives (that includes you, “anarcho-capitalists” and “Libertarians”), fulfilling the dream of most service workers by not having to tolerate the presence of professional class-traitors (pigs and military), and experimenting with living and working in ways that don’t enthusiastically embrace the pure misanthropy of Capitalism,” he continued.
“Fuck the rich. Fuck the police. Fuck the state. Fuck the colonial death camp we call ‘Canada’,” the statement concluded.
“...radical community space...”
They spelled communist wrong
I doubt many conservatives really cared what you did with your own money, so their blood pressure is probably fine. They were making fun of you for charging $5 for an espresso drink, which is very capitalist.
And they were likely just as happy not having to mingle with your like-minded paying customers — as few as they were, at least they were quarantined to your shop in a “part of the city that has seen gentrification and where many unhoused people reside.” If the people are “unhoused,” how can they be considered to “reside” there? By definition, they don’t have a residence.
“Business”
I guess they ran out of someone else’s money.
Wow, that’s a long way to say “I couldn’t find any more people who were willing to throw their money away on my utopian dream.”
Referring to them as being “ethically bankrupt” is a nice, and very typical, liberal ad hominem jab, just for good measure.
IOW I’m a lousy business man. And it’s your fault
Not surprised. About 20 years ago I was at a conference in San Francisco and got dragged into some communist-wannabe cafe in the Mission District. I don’t remember the name of the place, but it had a big picture of Che on the wall. Anyway, the customer service was awful, the food was both late and terrible. But the idiots I was with were gushing about their surroundings the entire time (while I was quietly seething).
Since I don’t even recall the name, not sure if the place when out of business or not (as its SF), but it certainly deserved to.
LOL - leftists aren’t known for being the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Good, I hope all of your customers got a really bad case of Diahh... Just to forever remember you by.
Only a super rich country could enable vain, dead-end experiments like these. And then only briefly.
SWEET!
The Commie owner was only right about one thing..the ruling aristocratic rich families are the single biggest corrupter and danger to all individually freedom loving societies. While the first generation of wealthy people earned their money and have shown tenacity and capabilities to provide for the economy of people and ideas, their inheritors and following generations do not and so begins their paths to consolidate power and wealth rather than reinvesting it back into society. Capitalism is a great and beautiful thing able to provide goods and services the most efficient way possible, but to preserve it we need to rethink the concepts of charity and inheritance. Think about all our problems today and all those members in WEF or other NGOs that play our government officials like puppet strings...imagine a world where those people had to actually earn their money and appreciate their earnings for what it is rather than attempting to steal everyone else’s wealth.
Just like the cafe that told people they could pay the amount they felt it worth for their meal instead of an advertised amount. And, just like the lesbian bakery who spent more time advertising the fact the owners were lesbian rather than the baked goods they produced. Both lasted less than a year.
You cannot operate a business based upon woke slogans and socialist principles. Such a business is designed to fail and will do so each and every time.
