Not only is it ridiculously untrue to say the restaurant owner “does nothing,” this meme is laughably wrong in its socialist fantasy that each employee would earn $78/hr if they took the profits. Just reading the article and applying basic logic definitively disproves this.
▪️The headline is actually misleading here. The owner didn’t just turn over all of the profits they turned over all of the SALES. Which is the wording in the article, whoever wrote the headline for this local news station screwed up by conflating the two.

▪️ And this wasn’t an ordinary day, the restaurant more than doubled its normal sales:
🔹”On a typical Monday, they do about 100 orders. This week, they did 220 orders, which translated to over $6,000 in sales and over $1,000 in tips, all of which went back to the employees.”
▪️Perhaps the increased business was because it was advertised as an employee appreciation day, or maybe it was because it was on July 5, the Monday after a holiday weekend. It’s not clear from the article, but it wasn’t an ordinary amount of sales.
▪️Thus, the employees’ “$78/hr” results from taking all of the sales on a blockbuster day without paying any overhead. No rent, no utilities, no equipment, not even the price of food! It was basically a creative way the owner decided to give his employees a bonus.
▪️This particular bonus was given in gratitude for his employees working throughout the pandemic (the article was from July 2021). This meme twists what appears to be a local feel good news story about a generous owner and happy workers into socialist propaganda.
As with the leftist freak out over “banned books” this is not banning books, it’s still easy to get Harry Potter and bookstores should be able to limit whatever books they want for whatever reason. But not only does it show a double standard, the rationale is far less justifiable than removing certain content from school libraries. At least there the justification was the content of certain books are inappropriate for children, clearly not every book should be available in a school library. Here, there’s no argument about the content they just don’t like the author’s politics!
Because news came out about his letter to the FBI, revealing he was a nutcase. The letter was rambling and incoherent, claiming he was trained by the US military off the books, and that Walz had instructed him to kill Amy Klobuchar so he could run for Senate. None of it made any sense (Walz is not running for Senate) and none of the assassinations made any sense, even in a diabolical way.
Nearly all of his hit list was Democrats (including Walz) and abortion clinics, but he was supposedly working for Walz?! Plus, one of the guys he killed wasn’t even on his list, and others were no longer in office or deceased. None of it makes sense from any coherent angle.
Basically, it appears the guy was mentally ill and neither the left or right can use the incident to push their agendas anymore, so the story was dropped.
This is so dumb. First, this means LA began as Spanish land founded to support Spanish missions (i.e. colonialism). Which contradicts their entire premise. But the reality is that Los Angeles is a quintessential American city.
▪️When the US acquired California in the 1840s, LA was a small town of less than 2,000 people. It was basically nothing. It became large only after the gold rush and the railroads completed in the 1870-80s, which brought thousands of new settlers and a booming commercial center.
▪️But LA had a major issue limiting its growth, no water. It wasn’t until Mulholland found a water source and built an aqueduct down from Northern California that LA had the infrastructure to grow into a major city.
▪️Then, a combination of oil, real estate and the film industry caused it to boom in the early 1900s. Post WWII, industries like aerospace continued its spectacular growth. Calling this “Mexican land” is a brain dead take. Neither the Mexicans, Spanish nor ...
