What point did I try to prove? Again, this shop has been in the news, I've seen it in stories well before today. It is owned by divisive militant feminist bigots and they try to push politics through their storefront. They are in the news today for shutting down. That's it, this doesn't prove anything, it is a newsworthy story, this place going out of business, that's all. There is nothing to prove over this, it is simply a news worthy story.
Oh please, you are trying to prove the left is more bigoted than the right. There are literally thousands of stories every bit as newsworthy as this in the world today. There is a reason you chose to discuss this one.

The really funny thing is knowing that if the narrative in this story were reversed politically (ie like a certain bakery that went out of business because it wouldn't serve certain people), Slow would be posting that as a symbol of "leftist hate."

Again, the only reason you even know about this is because billionaires have identified you as a gullible fool they can manipulate into doing their work for them.


No, I do this because I used to lean left but they've jumped the shark as of late. I enjoy expressing my opinion and reading the opinions of others in regards to politics.

To be fair .. on average a woman consumes about 2k cals/day and a man 3k cals/day .. If we are talking some sort of buffet it would make sense
If the wage gap wasn't a myth, businesses would just do nothing but hire women you incompetent retard. Don't go out of your way to observe facts, logic, reasoning - or control for variables. Be a part of the victim culture mentality with no facts - just stupidity.

[

I always thought it was about 10% and mainly attributed to aggressiveness in negotiating and the fact that men dont give birth. I think society should aim to even out the last point, it should make no difference if you are hiring a man or woman age 30 with no children, as of yet. If you sum up earning throughout a career you'll see a much larger delta than just 10 ... or 7%.
Also, its my impression that the pay gap increases as you move towards the top of the food chain.

This is exactly right. Things like 1 year of mandatory paid leave for both parents and government subsidized childcare would go a long way to closing the gap completely. And before some nitwit chimes in to tell us all about what an undue burden those things would place on our businesses, I am pretty sure capitalism is doing just fine in Germany and many other nations with similar policies.

OMG how many times does your own posting history from way back have to be dredged up before you stop repeating this lie?

This is the beautiful side of capitalism. These women alientated a large part of their base. Why would a man even want to shop in a place like this? They said "screw you" and voted with their Australian dollars elsewhere. In turn, this business is now OUT OF BUSINESS. Isn't capitalism great! My parents were small business owners for many years. Very successful as well. It's a hard road. We have a saying "Entrapanures work 80 hours a week so we don't have to work 40." Anyway, maybe they've learned a valuable lesson. Don't alientate your customer base.

sure, that, and also maybe that they were charging $14 for bagel sandwiches.

It isn't a lie. Not sure what more to tell you. My posting history supports exactly what I say here. For most of the last 10 years I definitely leaned left in my politics. I just realized where the real bigots, obstructionists, and dividers were recently, however.

again, your posting history exists as clear and irrefutable evidence against this obvious bullshit claim of yours.

just to clear things up for you: having your own personal definition of "leftist" that no other educated person in the world subscribes to, does not make you a leftist simply for claiming so.

It's pretty funny that you've internalized the shameless lying from Trump. Even when you've had your face rubbed in your lies over and over again you keep repeating them.

Sad to see Trump dragging the morals of his supporters down to his cesspool level.

You're the fool if you think only people on the right benefit billionaires with their actions. You freedom fighter, you!

Well people on the left don't generally raise taxes on the middle class to shower $1.2 trillion on the rich. Some people are stupid enough to support that, but you can't expect the average person not to have noticed the right picking the country's pocket.

It's a flat out lie, proven over and over again.
But an actual truth is that I used to be more to the conservative side of this board. And my politics haven't really changed, although I did stop voting Republican after Bush started the Iraq war.

States have brought in higher tax revenue, the federal government brought in higher taxes year over year, consumer confidence is high, unemployment low, the good economy your type have been saying was going to crash for the last two year hasn't happened... all of this was helped along by the tax cuts. The Trump tax cuts have benefited all of us.

Do we have to repeat this, per another thread where you made this claim nothing could be found about you being more “left” in the past infact the exact opposite was shown.
You did say you cast at least one vote for a local democratic politician around the early to mid 90s if I remember correctly.


Sort of like me saying I used to be a conservative because I voted for Bill Weld around 25 years ago.

Empirical research disagrees with you. In addition, regular people know you and Trump are full of shit. That's why Trump's tax cuts are so insanely unpopular. Everyone hates them because they were designed to pick the pocket of regular people to give money to the rich.

Those rich people are laughing at useful idiots like you who cheer them on as they loot the country. I'm sure they marvel at how the very people they are screwing cheer them on as they do it.

They dont marvel. This is 30 years of rich vs poor psy ops.

damn somebody got triggered!!!

I know! How much of a snowflake does someone have to be to get triggered by a restaurant on a different continent? That's why I keep telling him and other conservatives that you guys really need to grow a thicker skin.

I've voted for both Democrats and Republicans as recently as 2016. It was some time during GWB's presidency that I soured on the direction of the right, hated how crazy they got when Obama was in office (he's a communist muslim dictator that won't cede power after his terms, ya know). I was anti-Trump (and not crazy about Hillary either) up to the 2016 election. After Trump won, the left has gone full retard, we see today them sprinting left in response to Trump, and I no longer agree with them in many areas. I also think they've become the real dividers in this country, the real racists today. They will inject and manufacture racism regularly to push their narrative. Trump has won me over with his pro-American push. The left has pushed me away with their division and hate.
