Selling coffee too hard? Or .. Selling coffee too hard!!

They had round-the-clock curfews in both of the cities that had riots.

You forgot to include the source of food riots being because of curfews...

 

[Dawg]

And what is your answer to the crises of segregation and affordable housing?

Work Hard

and not enough cops to enforce curfews

Also you.

More and more Americans turning to second even third jobs

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/getting-a-second-full-time-job-afford-gas-groceries-inflation-2022-7%3famp Inflation it's driving Americans to seek out second and third jobs to make ends meet

So try that and landlords can't evict you any more

 

[Dawg]

I’m not. In fact I have consistently called for forming a labor party.

well, must not be calling for it very hard since you're here majority of your life and not enough leftist here to accomplish that

Why not run for office

Work Hard

Working people, especially people of color, are working harder than ever. But the crises keep getting worse.

The looting speaks for itself.

It is a soul sucking profession Rick, the cyber era equivalent of shining shoes. I hate big corporations any more, so I'm all for these barristas giving Howard Schultz a collective middle finger. Or I guess now it's "Laxman Narasimhan." People should go get their lattes at the locally owned coffee shops (or the nearest convenience store and "prepare it" themselves.

A chosen, self-selected soul-sucking profession. These guys should work somewhere else if they don’t like it. Tens and tens of millions of Americans manage to live lives without working at Starbucks.

I have no affinity for Starbucks, but I don’t support the idea of non-risk-sharing staff dictating business model. No thanks.

In other words..."Take my opinion as truth...because socialism."

Since only two cities saw riots, just list them and I'll see if there's any reports of food riots due to food shortages...

Historical INFLATION

 

[PhilFish]

Your top post deploring a lack of affordable food.

That was a top post regarding inflation.

You ok?

Anyway....food is pricey yet as necessity may dictate still very affordable.


Next deliberate misrepresentation of a tp of mine?

Yeah, it's not that easy Rick. Frankly I'm so sick of Big Government and Big Business (one hand washes the other) that I figure the people who work for megacorps need Big Labor (lets face it, the government isn't going to protect them) or they are going to get effed over every time they turn around. I love seeing companies like Starbucks and Amazon being unionized. Serves them right!

I hate unions. Wouldn’t wish such collectivism on anyone…and I don’t fancy empowering marxists. I agree with you in general about the “big government, big corporations” thoughts though. That garbage is just one more reason all the giant corporations went woke are are pro-DNC. They LOVE the ramping up of regulations and associated compliance costs that Democrats always bring…eliminating the viability of any small business competition.

Me too Rick - I managed to negotiate the only open shop contract District 1199P of the SEIU ever had to agree to, I believe still to this day. I was brought in after the vote and in the 18 months it took to get to the bargaining table we addressed all the issues that drove the employees into the arms of the union, and then some. Our New York City labor lawyer (whom I used to see quoted in the Wall Street Journal at the time) told us not to do anything so we could use the "concessions" at the bargaining table. I talked the CEO into firing him and doing right by the employees. It paid off!

I find that almost every time a company succumbs to a union organizing campaign, they did something (a lot of somethings) to deserve it.

I hear ya. In the cases of these huge corporations, when the unionization thing starts up, it’s like when the Oregon Ducks play Notre Dame. If only there were some way BOTH could lose…

The problem is, marxism never sleeps. Any foothold anywhere dooms us all. It will not and cannot coexist with liberty. Zero tolerance on that from me.

The market is set up so as to induce a certain number of people to work at Starbucks by providing no better opportunities.

I was thinking Portland and Minneapolis since those are where all your examples came from.

Inflation means insufficient supply of goods and services relative to demand. You applied it specifically to food in the linked-to post.

The Democrats are racing the Republicans to see who can deregulate fastest, which is the real reason they are supported by a considerable fraction of the big corporations.

Googled "food riots" for both cities, here's what I found. Minneapolis had one...in 1931. Wanna revise your statement or use this to establish the EatTheRich "fact page"?
