"The restaurant business is really a people business. Restaurants that think they just sell food and drinks are missing the big picture. You sell memories. You just happen to use food, drink and hospitality as the vehicle."

Your thoughts??

@numbertalker @theobjectivist They have a tight family structure 🤔

@theobjectivist Soooo well said 👏 I cringe every time I see it happen and it’s sad because we need to be better than that!

You can't dehumanize them or call them names. Some people are truly lost as a result of the enormous indoctrination they've been subjected to. That doesn't excuse them, but if you want to persuade them, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt.

How do you reach the ones who are open? You meet them with respect, not contempt. You assume they're honest but mistaken, and you address the error, not the person. You grant what's true in what they say, then show them calmly where the logic breaks. You don't demand they abandon everything at once. You give them one clear idea to think about, and you let reason do the rest. A man humiliated digs in. A man respected reconsiders.

There are some truly evil men, and those you don't engage directly. When I post in response to a politician, my intended audience is their followers, the ones still capable of thought.

And here is why it matters. You are never trying to convert the whole mob. You are looking for the one person who is genuinely listening. Change one mind, and that person may change a few more, and history has always turned on a small number of people who thought clearly and refused to go along. Ideas move the world, but they move it one honest mind at a time. Those are the ones I'm after.

@BillAckman, let me assist. Khanna asks you to address the substance, so here it is, each error laid out fully.

Start with the moral error. "Labor neutrality for federal contractors" sounds procedural, but examine what it does. It uses the taxpayer's money as leverage to force companies into a posture that favors unionization, and it pressures workers into a collective whether or not each individual wants it. That is coercion, no matter how fair the language sounds. A worker's genuine right is the right to act on his own judgment: to negotiate his own terms, to join a union if he chooses, or to refuse and walk away. What Khanna proposes is not the protection of that right. It is the government putting its thumb on the scale with funds seized from others. Real bargaining is two free parties reaching terms. The moment the state forces the outcome, it is no longer bargaining. It is command.

Now the economic error, which is deeper. "Labor's share of income is declining" rests on the fixed-pie fallacy: the assumption that there is a set quantity of wealth, and if capital holds more, labor must hold less. But wealth is not a fixed sum to be divided. It is created. And wages do not rise because someone redistributes the "share." They rise because of productivity, how much value a worker can produce per hour. What raises productivity? Capital investment: the tools, machines, factories, software, and technology that multiply what a single worker can do. A man with a bulldozer moves a hundred times the earth of a man with a shovel, and earns accordingly. That bulldozer exists because someone accumulated capital and risked it.

So Khanna's cure destroys the cause of the thing he wants. Punish capital, tax it, seize a larger "share" for labor by force, and you starve the investment that makes labor more valuable in the first place. You hand workers a bigger slice today and shrink the whole pie tomorrow. Every country that has tried it produced exactly that: a higher labor "share" of a collapsing economy.

And beneath both errors lies a deeper moral error. Khanna speaks of "worker share in profits" as though the worker were owed the returns of an enterprise he did not build, did not own, and did not risk his capital to create. But the worker already received his share: the wage he agreed to, paid whether the company profits or fails. The risk was the owner's. The profit, what remains after everyone is paid, is the reward for that risk. To claim it for those who bore none is not the correction of an injustice. It is the creation of one.

🚨 The Stargate revival may be canceled, but the fight isn't over.

After Amazon reportedly scrapped its planned reboot before production even began, fans aren't letting the franchise disappear quietly. The #SaveStargate campaign has already organized rallies, flown banners, and gathered over 100,000 petition signatures, and now it's taking over Times Square. 🌌

Could one of sci-fi's most passionate fanbases actually convince Amazon to bring Stargate back? https://t.co/GTuYL0WXcn

@MarioNawfal But it never hurts to try!!

[Guy Eats 🏴‍☠️ @Guyeats]

@MarioNawfal Great idea, but they’ve tried doing things like this before and unless the seeds have some sort of a structure to hold onto and keep from blowing in the wind it’s not gonna stick

[Guy Eats 🏴‍☠️ @Guyeats]

@CathieDWood So do you think they’re going to raise the rates next month?

@wtogami @BaronDestructo GREAT IDEA! How can I help?

[Guy Eats 🏴‍☠️ @Guyeats]

Holy cow Batman you just brought back so much immense joy from being able to live in the moment of Stargate again!!

I wish I could read more of it…. Such a sad moment 😢 Is there any way of crowdfunding to buy back the IP or ability to move ahead?? I’ll donate $1000 towards that.
