Isn’t reducing staff numbers and/or hours about the only threat that small businesses owners have that they can aim at local government? Reducing jobs is something that the local officials might actually care about. Raising prices (or the threat) isn’t going to get much traction. And everyone knows that the owners crying crocodile tears about earning less money themselves is not going to get any sympathy.

Elem7 posted:You know its one thing when fast food franchisees complain about minimum wage laws, but this idiot is charging $200 for loving haircuts and complaining? He's paying his employees in a low overhead business minimum wage while charging those rates? The lack of shame and self awareness is mind boggling, and the "journalist" who can print that tripe without any challenge should be fired out of a cannon with him.

If you're single and questioning the utility of $200 haircuts maybe its time for some self reflection....

I'm pretty ugly, so I had to increment my haircut costs all the way up to $400 before I started getting dates. God Bless the free market!

tbf, "investable assets" of half a million is a pretty low threshold for wealth these days... and has been for probably decades at this point. it's like people talking about six figure salaries when that's entry level for a lot of industries

With nobody at the helm some "interim" ruler is appointed by the senate as 2024 Caesar and "interim" quickly becomes permament for life. Until the knives come out one day, like Caesar of old.
