yeah... this prolly sounded good in theory but its not working out that well in practice.
His brother is suing him because he gave away all the profits and now the margin of error is slim to none. New clients have signed on but not nearly enough to cover the cost of doing business. He lost employees because they were upset and felt they were undervalued. They were accused of being selfish and jealous. He also lost clients because they feared Gravity would increase charges to make up for the shortfall.
Now he is selling assets and renting because he is BROKE. So to my OKP bredren who say if you can't afford to pay employees then you can't afford to be in business...well, when you can't afford to be in business what happens to those employees? They go to work for someone who won't pay 70K for you to punch in.
This is why $15 an hour for flipping burgers is laughable. Sure, maybe it works in SF and NYC but in ATL or Kansas City? FOH... they will slash the workforce.

Like, I had an epithany on the train this morning; while the modern conservative movement has married itself to the religious right, ultimately their tenants lie more with satanism then any sort of christianity. Not the 'worship satan' type, but the athiest levey "focus on personal gratification first" since the byline feels to be 'get mine, fuck everyone else' no matter how compassionate they want to come off to be.
and don't subscribe to the Libertarian view of every man for himself. It serves me to treat those around me with respect, and care about my fellow man (even if I don't know him).

1)EPIPHANY 2)ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT THERE'S A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT PEOPLE THINK SATANISM IS (VOODOO SPELLS) AND WHAT MOST PEOPLE MEAN WHEN THEY SAY THEY ARE SATANISTS. I THREW IN THE ATHEIST PART TO CLARIFY MOST SATANISTS DON'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN SATAN, NOT TO SAY THAT ATHEISTS ARE ALL SELF SERVING OR SATANISTS THEMSELVES

> but the athiest levey "
most atheists are also very concerned about our humanity to others. we are more likely to support gravity than the religious nutcases are so uhm no. these fools on they own dont even think the satanists would want them
. http://perspectivesudans.blogspot.com/ i myself would never want to be god,or even like god.Because god got all these human beings on this planet and i most certainly would not want to be responsible for them, or even have the disgrace that i made them.

>He's explaining which type of Satanists he's referring to. >The Church of Satan is largely atheist.
I personally waver between atheist/agnostic..but the second you bring up satanist people start thinking ritual sacrifices and spells so I felt I had to clarify

48. "Strategy is always to pretend it's about small businesses" In response to Reply # 19
that they're looking out for small business owners, and future small business owners so they can compete.
and since a lot of mom and pops do struggle and go under, it's an easier sell for republicans. Your biz is failing because high taxes, regulations, and the govt trying to take more of you money and give it to lazy takers.
Of course small businesses aren't where anyone's bread is buttered, and they actually could give a fuck about them, except to help their narrative, but as long as they can sell it, this will continue to be the strategy.
29. "So let them increase prices a piddly-ass 6-20 percent" In response to Reply # 27
They'r ptobably sell more because poor people would have more disposable income. People think McDonalda and Wal-Mart's prices would have to double in order for them to pay $15/hr, rendering the raises effectively null, but it's nonsense.

23. "In-n-out pays $14 per " In response to Reply # 21
they aren't that high imo iirc they don't have alot of those $1 menu type offerings though so maybe places like mcd's need to keep wages low since xx% of their orders are probably low margin items

... So how is he going broke?
This was actually a really smart move as the goodwill generated from this story apparently had a huge impact on business. Can't wait to see the annual report where we find out the quantifiable impact of this incredibly generous leap of faith.
