A restaurant my wife worked at in the past has been targeted this week. A hard righter got banned for not wearing shoes and harrasing the staff. Wife said this was common for years, but since COVID they dropped the ban hammer. So, some journalist student published an article on some right wing site saying he was banned for wearing a MAGA hat which is not the case.


Anyways, is that grounds for a defamation suit? Seems like a butthurt right wing soyboy journalist. Sends an email at 233 am day of publishing to get the other side.. St Olaf journalism FTW.

restaurant’s rules. they can require you to wear a tye die tank top from the 90s. not wearing shoes or a mask doesn’t make a it discriminatory instance when the restaurant tells you to go away

you’d think someone like this asshat would go eat where he could go barefoot and without a mask. his or his mommy’s kitchen for example is always open

So Goya Foods is facing a boycott due to the CEO praising Trump. Trump launched the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative yesterday:

Quote
Goya CEO Robert Unanue, a grandson of the founders, spoke at a Rose Garden event announcing a “Hispanic Prosperity Initiative” on Thursday.

We all truly blessed, at the same time, to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder,” Unanue said standing at a podium beside Trump.


IMO, this is the problem with America.

Yeah, the usual suspects are trying to cancel Goya beans. So asinine.

Dude pledged to give one million cans of beans to American food pantries. We are lucky to have them.

“why did he have one million cans hoarded in the first place. it is because because the ceo of goya foods is a racist and this is the problem with reich-wing capitalism. BOYCOTT NOW”

-usual suspects

e: ceo is a boss in his response to the angry mob of privileged lefties:

I look forward to contributing to a PaRD Canceling Party. Which one of you is going to be up for the chop? Better clear those post histories.

I don't think it will be particularly active. Hispanics are very diverse so there's not a uniform opinion. In addition to that, they aren't particularly active politically. No abuela is going to stop buying beans because of this haha.

Still though, wtf is the CEO supposed to do? Shit on Trump? Politely decline? At the end of the day, Trump IS president so you kinda want to have a seat at the table...

I'm sure I could piece together the bits of real-world information you've provided and find you. Besides, you should be scared since njaguar has your email address and payment information.

He might email your boss.

How would be have my payment information? I've never paid for FG.

I don't have a facebook or other social media. I don't post online under real names. I work at a hospital but there are several large systems in my city and i work in psych so my last name isn't on anything anyone gets for my own protection. I've deliberate made it hard to look me up.

I've been untrusting of the interwebs way before cancel culture.

Worse thing he could do is give me another six month suspension for "supporting pedophile" again lol. Maybe PaRD would be better when i got back.
