Socialism fails yet again
« on: February 14, 2019, 11:58:41 AM »

Panera Bread's Socialist 'Pay What You Want' Experiment Fails Miserably



   Panera Bread has shuttered the last of its ideologically driven "pay what you want" restaurants. The socialist-tinged ventures were called "Panera Cares" and the higher-ups have finally figured out that "caring" is not synonymous with "viable business model." On February 15, the final Panera Cares, located in Boston, will close.

   The chain opened its first donation-based community cafe in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2010. Under the model championed by the company’s founder Ron Shaich, the restaurant operated like a typical Panera, but offered meals at a suggested donation price, with the goal of raising awareness about food insecurity. “In many ways, this whole experiment is ultimately a test of humanity,” Shaich said in a TEDx talk later that year. “Would people pay for it? Would people come in and value it?” It appears the answer is a resounding no.

   You know who's probably suffering from food insecurity? The employees of Panera Cares who are no longer employed and no longer receive paychecks. You can't buy food if you don't have a job, and providing jobs is only assured if companies are focused on making money. If Panera had cared more about making money than promoting a constantly refuted ideology, its employees would still be receiving paychecks. Frighteningly, though, a growing segment of the populace seems to be allergic to common-sense economic principles.

You do understand that "pay what you want" does not equal socialism, right?  No, of course you don't.  You took the 20-second Fox News, "Socialism for the Low IQ Crowd" course.

The thing the low IQ crowd really doesn't understand is that this Panera experiment aligns much more clearly with GHWB's "thousand points of light" BS than it does with any socialist theory.  The idea was that people with money would voluntarily cover the needs of those without.  We can see here in the USA, on a daily basis, just how well that capitalistic philosophy works.

The article likens it to socialism.

And what is it then? Free advertising? PI stunt?
Whatever it was, it failed miserably. JUST LIKE SOCIALISM ALWAYS DOES.
Reminds me of another "social experiment" like that one, here in Brazoo.
Some restaurant put a fridge outside and they would put a couple meals there and encouraged others to do the same, for the "needy".
Well, the needy took all the meals and when nobody was looking, they took away the fridge too.

You fucktards should get a clue once and for all - GIVING SHIT FREE WILL ONLY CREATE MORE LOSERS NEEDING A HANDOUT.

End of story. Socialists should be shot and soon, they will.

The article is absurd.  It's dogwhistling to the low IQ crowd.  It's not socialism.  It's philanthropy.  There's no damn need for philanthropy in a socialistic system that actually works.  DUH.
