    “No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.” -FDR

    Also:

    Che wants to see California legislators change their approach towards entrepreneurship.

    “Make that path easier. Make it less expensive, make it more simple, streamline it. Instead of putting roadblocks in front of it, open it up. Guide people,” Che said.

    Do we think this guy got a bunch of free money from the government during COVID?

    Oh look, he did. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it was a good program and good to make use of it. But, his whole attitude during the article of complaining about how difficult it’s going to be to figure out how to use it in such a way where he won’t have to pay it back really smacks of “I have never worked in a dishroom or behind a register even a single day of my life.”

    Be grateful. You fuck. Just like you should be grateful that our economic system gives you a little squad of people to run your business day-to-day for you and you get to keep the profits, instead of complaining that all of a sudden you won’t be able to have them do it exactly the way you want them to, whether or not it can economically produce a living wage for them. With lunch for the fancy people and all. You fuck.

      They got a PPP loan.

      but the question is. Did they use the PPP loan like they were supposed to?

      because so many of those PPP loans just ended up being free money for owners/executives and the bottom rung workers who needed it most didnt see a dime.

        (From memory, so there might be tiny mistakes in the language:)

        “If we could climb the highest steeple
        and then look down on all the people,
        and shoot the ones not wholly good,
        as we, like noble shooters, should,
        Why then there’d be an only worry:
        Who’d be left to bury
        Us?”
            -Walt Kelly
