Baristas demanded the owner of Cherry Street Coffee shop expressing concern over the minimum wage hike next year. Now, they're out of jobs.
Progressive activists, alongside Cherry Street Coffee employees, staged a walkout on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Why? Because the business owner had the audacity to explain to the city council that the upcoming minimum wage hike is unsustainable. Thanks to their activism, the store is now permanently closed and they’re out of jobs. It’s what they deserve.
Ali Ghambari, owner of Cherry Street Coffee, tried to sound the alarm at a recent Seattle City Council meeting, pleading for relief. His business couldn’t absorb the blow. But his employees, showing just how little they understand about running a business, objected. They teamed up with socialist agitators, led by none other than former Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant, and organized a walkout. They thought they could hold him hostage.
Activists will probably see Ghambari’s closure as a win. He wasn’t progressive enough for their little echo chamber, so naturally, he doesn’t belong. The irony, of course, is that they’re celebrating the shutdown of a minority-owned business they’d typically pretend to champion. But facts don’t matter when you’re on a crusade.
