So what I'm hearing is that one should break in with a balaclava and paint to blackout the cameras. Sell the pizza once, and choose a different pizza shop next time.
This is the future Communists want.
If seizing the means of production gets me extra pepperoni without an upcharge, I fail to see the downside
is this another one of those radical antifa values 🐢
If I were president, this would be allowed. You get to keep all profits until the store manager cares as much as you and gets their ass there to tell you to stop.
Any store. Any business. It'd revitalize this nation overnight.
This would turn Japan into an economic superpower overnight. How tf do you run a bar that's only open 5 hours a week?
Is that a thing? Is it just a property owner keeping a business running the bare minimum to hold into their licenses until they find a buyer or something?
Commercial rent is hilariously cheap in Japan. So a lot of people will start a business as a hobby, and the business breaks even in those few hours its open.
Then there's people who just run a kitchen/shop right out of their home.
The bar in question is in a 3 story building, with the botton 2 floors for customers, so I don't think the guy even lives there.
Theres a lot of foreigners who do something similar just for visa purposes; you run a "business" selling a parking spot or something to a neighbors or bento or w/e, and have an "office" that's a desk in a shed, and congrats on the business visa.
Interesting! I wish it was that easy to start a business in the States. Sucks seeing so many empty store fronts in even high traffic areas, at least in my city. Licensing, rent, and zoning snuff out many businesses before they start.
Yup. My favorite lunch spot, where you could get 2 fish tacos, a good drink, and the best view in the area for 6 bucks closed, and literally has been vacant for a decade because they won't lower rent.
That last part is getting outlawed very soon, though enforcement is a different story
Minimum revenue?
Insane that japan of all places is cracking down on immigrants coming and starting businesses, many of which bring in foreign currency.
They only want foreign workers that work for established Japanese businesses, farms, etc. Or are so wealthy that they can start their own business with large initial investments.
Japanese politics are so cooked.
The country is incredibly resistant to change, which is perfectly on brand considering the Edo Period.
Two reactions:
Who says no one wants to work anymore?
And:
the suspect kept all the money for himself
Labor is entitled to all it creates!
Aren't the people making and delivering the ingredients entitled to something?
True, but so is payroll and he did his own. Along with staff scheduling and floor management. Did he clean up and shit down properly? Idk I'm not reading the article. It probably all evens out.
It's immature of me, but I have to admit I'm amused by that typo.
Little Brutus.
Et two large pepperoni with pineapple
Where was the crime?
Baking a pizza?!?? A succulent Italian pizza??!??
He kept all the money for himself. Wouldn't have been a problem had he rendered unto Caesar what is Caesar's.
I’m still laughing at this comment
But he did the work, not Caesar.
Okay but, Caesars ingredients, building and oven, electricity bills. While I agree, seize the means of production etc... Someone else's labor was involved into making the ingredients, the electricity, the oven. And they also deserve to be compensated for their labor.
Careful, keep this up and some kmart brand reddit hall monitors will repost all of the content you upload and make feud posts complaining about you 3 times a week.
Good point. I just felt like trolling a little bit. Obviously, what he did was wrong. But it was also very funny. And it was basically a victimless crime.
I cannot keep up with this "Pizzagate" scandal, it keeps going off in weird directions and I feel like I missed a story piece.
Bro stole a job lmao

That man does not like wasted capital.
Seized the means of production
"Alright this is my plan. We get jobs as tellers. Work there for 10 to 15 years. Retire, and take those bastards for all they are worth!"
"...Man, that's called getting a job!"
