    Boohoo, a capitalist that owns 4 restaurants is passing the costs of labor on to their customers and is still blaming us for it. Sounds like the playbook of an abuser.

    If paying people what they are worth causes businesses to fail, then that is just Daddy Capitalism working right?

      For sure, record breaking profits never get passed on to the customer, if anything it pushes companies to see how much they can squeeze from nothing.

      But hard times always fall on the customer.

      Greed is evil.

        In fact the opposite is often true, such as when Huggies Diapers recently cut production costs and raised prices several years in a row.

        The older I get the more I think that capitalism is incompatible with a moral society. I dont know what could replace it, but chasing “profit” has caused so much harm to our society.

      Imagine this guy, Marcus Walberg, having the sales volume that comes with operating 4 restaurants in LA and saying “doing business in California has never been more strained” LMFAO.

      Sell the properties cheap, then, I’ll take a loan for that lot no problem! I’d open a Bakery that sells Yeast Donuts and my specialty Meal in a Focaccia (Vegan Options Available).
