so the thing about the barber shop is that it's all dead now after the pandemic but it had a Facebook page that went back to like 2018 and the are still pictures posted by others on social media that go back to then. every single picture is exactly the same- those same three guys hanging around near the front of the store

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

this may be frightening to hear, but the truth is that many small business owners have no loving idea what they are doing. the barbershop is strange, confusing, and non-functional because that's exactly how the owner likes it.

I circle around different ideas for the barbershop, but this pretty much has to be the explanation. Owner either relies on the wifes money or family money or some other residual income, this is a low overhead "business" (pretty much just rent/utilities) that gets him out of the house and lets him hang out with his buddies.

Its not set up to make money because it doesnt exist to make money.

Also, if he is married to a sugar momma, this lets them save face, he's not a bum, he's an "entrepreneur"

Either that or it's a front for money laundering that just happened to be next door to a lovely politicians campaign office lol.

Focusing on whether or not the barbershop is "real" isn't even the point really.

The original point of the "all the cool young black voters are gabbing about Warren at the barbershop!" post made by her campaign was to imply she was doing well with that voter demographic. The results conclusively prove she cratered with that demo (as well as basically all others), thus the Warren Barbershop Effect is fake, regardless of the store itself.

This same logic works for the Chinedu saga. Sure, there may exist a Nigerian fan of Pete Buttigieg, but they were using him to imply a groundswell of black voter support that was absolutely not there.

and sorry to t-t-t-triple post but now I just remember that the Pete campaign sent out a thing to a bunch of black politicians that was like "Hey, just by reading this letter you are endorsing me, no take backsies!"

almost everyone else in said band going on to moderately successful careers in music while he went down the 'sad perennial candidate' path

Lol this guy did exist, I ran in a social circle with him in the early 2010s. He was pathologically incapable of describing anything in detail, to the point of absurdity.

"I got a new job."
"Cool, doing what?"
"It's at a place out of town. I go at night."
"... How did you find the job?"
"They said come at night."

"The dish you brought to the potluck was delicious, what's in it?"
"Beans."
"... And what else?"
"Just like some beans."

Just as the chinedu news was breaking in early 2020 I had occasion to hang out with some of that crew again. We talked a lot about how insane it was that he of all people made national news, and how much covid was going to gently caress everything up. Haven't seen most of them again ever since. Good times.
