A restaurant where you can't tip the waiters? Seriously?

 
A restaurant has been forced to close a month after it opened following “public attacks”. The toast-centric healthy chain Toastique opened in Kansas City, Kansas, last month, but a series of negative online reviews prompted the owner to close abruptly. 
Franchise owner Jonathan Willis told a local outlet this week that diners had taken issue because he did not allow his employees to receive tips. Willis said this was because his employees were already earning above minimum wage, despite lawmakers working to increase the wages.
Who the fuck is this guy to say somebody can't tip somebody? This place looks like something straight out of bad Woody Allen movie. They're all franchises, and they feature the kind of food they make fun of in sitcoms. Shit like this:
On their franchise information page, you'll find this little quip: "Toastique is where beauty and all-day brunch-y goodness come together to break bread, and smoothies, and coffee, and juices, and… you get it." 
I know. Your unders are soggy just thinking about all that goodly goodliness, right? The only way I'd ever be on a joint like that is if my brakes failed going down hill - if ya get my drift.

This is a slightly cropped version of a photograph titled "Toward Los Angeles" and was taken by Dorothea Lange in March 1937.It documents two men walking along a highway in California during the Great Depression, representing the plight of Dust Bowl refugees.The billboard in the image ironically advertises for the Southern Pacific railroad, urging travelers to "Next Time Try the Train".The photo was commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) to highlight rural poverty and economic hardship during this era.

A new tiny home village in Sacramento, California, has secured $32 million from the state’s Project Homekey+ funding, according to a Thursday press release from the office of Governor Gavin Newsom. The development, which will occupy a vacant lot at the corner of Rio Linda Boulevard and Las Palmas Avenue, will include 100 tiny homes for seniors and homeless veterans age 55 or older.
In addition to the state funding, the project received about $3 million from the city through the state’s Homeless Housing and Prevention grant, according to developer Urban Capital, LLC. The development will require $20.7 million in capital costs to be built, with each unit running about $207,000, according to Urban Capital, LLC’s managing partner, John Vignocchi. The per-unit cost still falls lower than the $600,000 price tag on most new income-restricted affordable housing in Sacramento, according to The Bee.

Map shows which States could benefit most. The clearest winners are concentrated across the South, particularly Florida, Texas and much of the Gulf Coast and Southeast. Florida may gain more than almost any other large state. Supporters argue that later winter sunsets would boost beach visits, outdoor dining, theme parks and retail activity while avoiding some of the severe winter sunrise issues experienced farther north.

Think about this. Bramhall is the chief political cartoonist for the New York Daily News. Never confuse the News with the Post - they are diametrically opposed politically, with the News being ultra liberal and very left-leaning, although they do ocassionaly shine through with some MOR reporting and editorials. This is decidely self-efacing for them to publish. Maybe the light at the end of their tunnel is a bit more clarity. Who knows...

The question I ask almost daily...

This is not bullshit - the headline says it all. The paper dolls, with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery” and “Parker,” have removable internal and external genitals, along with more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, accessories and hairstyles - like a trans Mr./Mrs. Potato Head.
The goal of this lunacy is for kids to “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be,” according to a therapist at the University of Minnesota Medical School, which spent over half a decade developing the controversial project funded by lefty Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
If seeing something like this doesn't convince you that there is genuine danger lurking in the halls of academia these days, nothing will. How absolutely, gut-wrenchingly fucked up is something like this that they want to talk to - basically - fuckin' toddlers about options for their sexuality? God help us all...
