How does that align with the narrative that socialism ruined his business, though?
The lesson that its easier to blame an identifiable group than impersonal forces?

Who's narrative is that? Not mine. I just said any situation where your taxes go up 100%-300% is probably a government policy that is bad for business and should be changed. Especially when the city has admitted they erred. I'm not exactly sure how anyone benefits from that. I'd love that explained. Oh and I also said it's idiotic to suggest restaurants fail all the time so every failed restaurant is nothing more than status quo.
I'm more than willing to wait for minimum wage to increase business profitability and for bike lanes to create more customer based business though for sure. Don't pin the anti-socialism badge on me just yet.
Why can't all these guys just go quietly like Janice Beaton and Farm did last week? She just ran out of customers and went down the old fashioned way.
