Geniuses at work. Zero clue about business or free markets. They are serving coffee for a reason....they have no other job prospects. Dim and dimmer.

There is so much stupid among the population. I am surprised they can even get through their day without someone guiding them. Econ 101 obviously is no longer being offered in high schools. Since Gavin has determined that french frying potatoes is a $20 an hour job everyone thinks they should get a cut. Yeah, at least 10,000 have lost their jobs. All honest work should be respected but not all work is worth the same. You are not going to buy a house serving up a cup of coffee. You are not "owed" a living wage. That is just nonsense.

Property seems to be available now, complete with equipment. The workers should unite and get a lease and start it up again, pay themselves $20/hr or whatever is "living" or "fair." Don't forget full medical insurance, 6 weeks time off, 2 weeks sick leave, 6 months parental leave, educational benefits, 401K contributions , time off for protests, time off for "transitions" and have at selling that $15 coffee if there is actually anyone who shows up to work outside all their fringe bennies.

The female in the picture with the tablecloth shawl makes me wonder if she'd be a lot happier on a pancake mix box. She made a point, but I wonder if that's what she intended.

It's heart breaking to see how ignorant these people are. But it's like I told my kids . . . There are things in life that you will learn. You can learn them from people who love you, or you will learn them from people who do not. But, you will learn them!

Al Gore, who as a toddler memorized the union hymnal, would be sympathetic the barristas' desire to organize, bring the mafia in to bargain with management, pay union dues, subsidize Democrats, strike for $30 an hour, do minimal work, and hit the unemployment line when their workplaces get shut down after a week. But it's a basic human want. These barristas want freedom from want. And they'll have you that they're union, and they're proud! Parenthetically, would you patronize a coffee shop where the employees wore Islamist garb? Do what I do: Brew the espresso at home. The apparatus isn't too costly unless you have to have a full size Starbuck's professional store model which can serve hundreds of customers per day.

It's delightful that this happened before they became unionized. They have no representation and no money for legal work. By actually closing the shop, the owner has made himself legally immune. Only stupid employees think they can get away with this idiocy. Ask auto workers what happened when they were unionized and demanded unearned pay increases. The companies, over time, brought in robots and got more reliable "workers" that show up on time, don't whine, and rarely get sick (broken down). If they do, they quickly swap in another robot that can do the job just as well with no training. Neither will these robots quit or retire or complain when a better model robot replaces them. In the coffee shop case, the workers were not even that skilled. It didn't matter that the auto workers were, they were out performed by the robots. If I were the owner of the coffee shop, I would look into coffee serving robots and reopen automated. The hamburger shops are pursuing robots for their places. Low skilled workers are dinosaurs. As tech gets smarter, there will be so much more "robots" can do. Beyond that, liberal experimentation with buying votes by forcing higher pay on business is blowing up in their faces. These kinds of government actions will lose favor as people are laid off and businesses close because they are forced into paying unjustified wages. People go to fast food places because they are cheap. High wages make them not cheap and make it more likely to go to a better restaurant given roughly equivalent costs for a meal. Further, low skilled workers will have less entry points into the economy. No one will want to take on an unskilled worker at high wages and the places to learn the needed skills will dwindle.

Argentina Logs First Week with No Inflation

For the first time in 30 years, Argentina experienced a zero-percent increase in the inflation rates of food and drinks during the third week of June, President Javier Milei confirmed on Monday morning. A study published on Sunday by Econométrica, a private Argentine consulting firm, first reported the no-inflation week. In its study, Econométrica analyzed 8,000 prices in local online supermarkets and found no change when compared to the preceding week — something that has not happened in Argentina in three decades. In addition to the lack of variation in prices in one week,

True peace, one that sees people of good will living in harmony with each other despite differing attitudes on some issues, is a wonderful thing. I’d certainly like to see a world like that, although faith tells us it won’t happen without divine intervention. In the real world, there are bad actors, but some once-naïve peace activists—including one former Israeli hostage—are giving up on their Utopian dreams and finally facing reality. To understand the lunatic nature of leftist peace activists, let’s take a walk through the animal kingdom. Porcupines speak softly and carry big stickers (pun intended). Skunks speak softly and carry bit stinks.

Back in the last century (the 1990s), we “old-timers” in the armed forces wore uniforms of blue, green, khaki, or white slacks, skirts (for women only) and pressed shirts, complete with jackets and ties. Most of us worked side by side with civilian office workers, especially at the Pentagon. Some of us worked with equipment, or in labs, or in environments that required physical labor and had to get permission to wear utility or battle dress uniforms (BDUs) and boots. Camouflage often drew questioning looks, as if we were deliberately flouting the prescribed professional office attire.

Buckner first pointed to the economic realities that Americans know all too well. “Bidennomics and gas being over $3 a gallon, that means many folks are working just to put gas in their car.

The Environmental Integrity Project just published the results of a new study, which reportedly found that the “biofuel” industry pollutes the air just as much as, and oftentimes more than traditional oil refineries, putting out a “significantly” higher amount of particular “dangerous pollutants” not limited to but including, formaldehyde.

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, also known as the New World’s Pravda, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has signed a law prohibiting training for licensed police officers on “excited delirium.” You may well be asking yourself, “Say what?” Star Tribune: “Excited delirium usually refers to a person possessed by a potentially deadly form of agitation, sometimes abetted by drug abuse, and displaying aggressive behavior, profuse sweating, public nudity, mouth foaming and superhuman strength.” Well, just because a perp is on drugs, foaming at the mouth, possibly nude, displaying aggressive behavior and deadly agitation while exhibiting superhuman strength, that’s no reason for law enforcement personnel to use force against that person!

Despite being reportedly worth upwards of $10 million, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have refinanced their Delaware home multiple times over the last few years. The constant refinancing has raised questions about the fast cash provided by the renegotiated loans on the Delaware properties which the Daily Mail noted occurred “an astonishing 35 times.” Since 1975, the Bidens have lived in two houses in Delaware with their first property in Wilmington being sold in the 1990s. The couple reportedly secured a “new mortgage or credit deal on both homes every 17 months,” according to the outlet.

With Thursday's presidential debate looming, the Biden campaign has settled on a strategy: Attempt to exceed expectations. Oddly enough, that doesn't have anything to do with policy. Instead, the president's handlers are setting the stage for an "energized" Biden who can put down all the talk about his ongoing struggle with senility. More oddly, they seem rather confident he can pull it off. They're playing with fire, though.

Melania Trump is unlikely to move into the White House if Donald wins another term in November, analysts say. Those close to the former first lady believe she will likely split her time between Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City – especially with Barron, 18, tipped to attend New York University. Melania would instead only travel to Washington, D.C. for ceremonial responsibilities like state dinners and other special events. The decision not to live with in Washington is an unprecedented move for a first lady and a break in two-and-a-half centuries of tradition.

On Sunday's "This Week," Martha Raddatz had a panel discussion with three "experts" on the upcoming presidential debate. The panel included Frank Luntz, and what he offered up made little sense. Luntz claims that the last two presidential campaigns, beginning with Trump versus Clinton in 2016 and then Trump versus Biden in 2020, were the beginning of the end of democracy. It seems everything in politics is “the end of democracy.” Luntz claimed that personal invectives and insults are too debasing and, apparently, a sign of the end of democracy. Luntz is a pollster, not a historian. Maybe he’s unaware of the long history of politicians insulting each other.
