>When immigration enforcement ramped up in Minneapolis earlier this year, owner Dylan Alverson rebranded the restaurant as "Post Modern Times." He took prices off the menu and declared he would feed anyone who walked in the door, whether they could pay or not.>Well, almost anyone. Federal agents were explicitly unwelcome.>For six months, the restaurant operated as a pay-what-you-can (or pay-nothing-at-all) sanctuary in Minneapolis. But as it turns out, people are greedy, and the comrade who pays $10 for a hipster sandwich starts wondering why they are shelling out $10 while someone else pays $1, and the comrade who pays $1 is wondering why others are getting the sandwich for free.>And so, the aptly named Post Modern Times has come to a predictable end.https://notthebee.com/article/minneapolis-restaurant-that-had-no-prices-closes-after-years-of-trying-to-prove-that-communism-works
Hennepin County should be forcibly seceded from the rest of the state. Fuck everything that happens there. 3rd world shithole dragging the rest of a once great state down.Fuck you
Well, was the food any good?
>>544677717I'm even shocked that it lasted 6 months. He must have sold all his belongings to make this absurd money pit run for so long.
>>544678311I am sure your tears can wash that bad old county awayKEK
>>544677717He didn't try socialism hard enough.He should have also forced everyone in line at gunpoint. And only have stale bread rations.
>>544678311checked
>>544677717we've been doing this for decades already>feed starving niggers in africa>starving niggers make more starving niggers>starving niggers produce nothing in return, give nothing back, create nothing, invent nothing>starving niggers exist only to be starving niggersour own post-modern times are coming to a close soon as a result, too
>>544678759get deported lmao
What if you pay what you want, but you get what you paid for?
>>544677717Cool, so he fed homeless people for 6 months. Could have probably done it for longer if he just gave to the homeless and charged everybody else.
communists are just genetically inferior people clawing at anything they can in order to survive and destroying whatever they touch in the process.
>>544678959this, make it "pay what you want" then the size of the plate that comes out is in proportion to what they gave
>>544678794He should have bought a coal mine and locked people in the mine and forced them to bring him coal in exchange for food.
>>544677717Absolutely keked >>544678759>im winning when I lose!Commies truly arent event sentient, what a moron
>>544678959hmmm
>>544678959extremely anti-semitic post
>>544677717He failed because the government didn't give him funding. Now he should protest and burn things down for it
>>544677717Half a year is kinda wild->60% whiteAh
>>544677717it wasnt a real socialism restaurant.that has never been tried really
>>544677717This restaurant closed like 6-7 months ago, I just moved back to the area and was looking forward to going there and ordering a bunch of shit to take home for nothing, but sadly it ended like instantly. My understanding is that the retard had some loan, minor amounts of grants, and a few people paying $100s as donations, but that ended fast.Then he tried to have it so that like half the sandwiches were pay what you could.Then he tried to have a paired down menu of pay what you could.Then he tried to salvage it with like $1 bare bones sandwiches with a cup of black coffee.But restaurant margins are not that big to begin with and he went into mega debt trying to be a fucking commie.
>>544677717>set up corporation.>take out bank loans.>pay yourself >don’t pay landlord >don’t pay suppliers>business fails>declare corporate bankruptcyWalk away free and clear with zero personal liability.capitalism at its finest.
>>544677717As a counterpoint, another Minneaplis restaurant has a similar policy and has been open since 1992. Now they have the advantage of being a vegetarian restaurant so not as popular but they made it work. Their "Cafe Arabica" is fucking delicious.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Times_Cafe>>544678676Had breakfast there with my crazy ex years ago. It was alright. Typical diner fair.
>>544680095Lmao its definitely not 60% white that a big fat lie, its like 30% at this point
>>544680659Oh look, a lying communist. Lmao.
>>544680582What you described is what people who come to the US do, they form a dozen different LLCs for each family member and get loans that require no collateral or credit and aren't tied to anything.It's why you see 6 different Chinese restaurants in the same spot over a decade all run by the same group of people. This guys fucked.
>>544680809"Pay what you can" is different than "free food." If you go there as a NERP and demand a free omelet they'll tell you to fuck off.Tankies are a little more sensible than their more utopian cousins.
>>544680243what a retard
You just know it was all whiteys paying too. Aint no nigga finna pay for free food
>>544680243>he went into mega debt trying to be a fucking commie.A tale as old as Marx.
>>544677717its like when groypercels leave their basement after years of voluntary seclusion and realize women are great and that they have been lied to and exploited by a gay brown mexican midget for years
>>544680582In cases like those they sue and the court will declare that the llc is a de facto sole proprietorship and hold you personally liable.
>>544680995It doesnt say pay what you can it says its cheap. Youre lying again.
>>544680659>Had breakfast there with my crazy ex years ago.i am still in love with you BABYI FUCKING HATE YOUGET BACK TO ME
>>544678910Yeah I don't understand why we perpetuate suffering. It's a never-ending cycle of suffering. They literally should all just be killed off and then the suffering will stop. If your country is constantly starving and it should all just be killed. Feeding it just perpetuates suffering.
that's not how communism works lolthis is like when billion dollar corporations do nothing then ask the regular guy to donate $50 to a jewish charity at checkout lol
>>544681747She wasn't my ex at the time.>>544681716It isn't cheap. Admittedly they have hefty portions but it was still $10 for a cheese omelet back in the early 2000s.Almost like the regular paying customers are subsidizing the homeless non-paying customers...
>>544682301So then why are you saying its pay what you want? This is not true.
>>544682377>>544682301
Is this any different from an honor system stand for produce or eggs? It just doesn't work with a low trust society.
>in minneapolisperhaps try this in Evanston, IL or Bose, Montana next time.
>>544678730no one even knows what his expenses areeven if people were paying $5 for a sandwich that would cost $10 to break even because that's what they thought it was worth, he still would have gone out of business.
>>544678759Are we still winning sister?
>>544677717Look, its real simple.>Sounds great on paperIn practice it doesn't work.
>>544681587No anon don't you get it? It's a jewish trick and they get away with it all the time! I know it in my heart to be true!
>>544682377I'm glad you can type your argument into an AI that's designed to hallucinate answers in the absence of definitive information from a restaurant that doesn't have a website and only accepts cash.That will not, however, erase and replace memories in my wetware from my own lived experience of standing in line and watching clearly homeless people buy a $10 omelet with a handful of pocket change they got while panhandling.
>>544682960Nigger, you lied and lost. Thats what ive come to expect from faggot leftists like you.
>>544683154The funny part is I'm not a leftist. The whole reason I went to Hard Times in the first place is because I am a conservative who wanted to see how this commie nonsense works in practice. I kept going because they were open 24/7 (at the time, no longer) and as stated their Cafe Arabica is fucking incredible.I find it fascinating that you are so incredulous that means-tested charity is actually doable given that is the typical conservative answer to dealing with poverty. Now this probably wouldn't work in a more forgiving climate, but thanks to our brutal winters, the homeless population is relatively low.
>>544677717Irony is that in an all White ethnostate such a thing probably would have worked. My great grandparents owned a little country general store in their rural small town. The kind of place where everyone new each other and it was such a hightrust community that everybody ran a tab on the stuff they needed until payday hit and they were able to pay for everything. The kind of place a corporation like crackerbarrel packages as an experience when in reality if kikemart hadn't taken over that General Store would have been my birthright. My workday would consist of bullshitting with friends and neighbors while farmers wives brought in homemade jams and raw milk and honey to sell instead of working to buy Mr. Schlomo another yacht and paying taxes to Israel. Leftwing socialists just yearn for high trust White society that would make small town socialism possible and the norm.
>>544677717I get their theory, but that sort of thinking only works in a self-sufficient economy that isn't constantly being overstressed by new visitors. A small town where everyone knows each other, not a big city.Or in blunter terms, a high-trust society.
TOTALCOMMIEBANKRUPTCYSOON
>>544678730Again I have to keep telling you chuds, that real socialism/communism has never been tried!
>>544677717How are these people so retarded?I figure this is what happens when you never leave your house and never actually interact with blacks and browns.Everyone else knows they just want infinite free shit.
>>544677717Well you see, in actual SOCIALISM the restaurant wouldn’t have to pay for ingredients or stuff because random faggots and heckin hip black people would just donate those. You lose CHUD
>>544678311Never cede ground to the enemy. Wall the county off while you exterminate all subversive elements then reopen it and let people move in at dirt cheap prices.
>>544677717>Retard turns his restaraunt in to a soup kitchen to feed the homeless.>>544683776not enough people fought for small businesses when wal-marts, home depots, and eagle hardwares were popping up everywhere and putting them out of business.
>>544683535The "early 2000s" was 20 years ago. If you want to compare Hard Times to Modern Times, go to Hard Times and tell us the reality of how they serve people in 2026. Ask them straight-up what happens if a customer says they can't pay.
>>544677717i live here and i didnt even fucking know about it. may as well be not for whites either
>>544684549She wont because shes a disingenuous liar. They all are. This is why fortune 500 companies, which all purport to be left wing socialist communist marxist, do not operate on a pay what you can system/structure.
>>544677717LOLSo many will need to be killed
>>544684549It is entirely possible they've changed their policy, but I doubt it. I should go back for the coffee but I don't find myself in that neighborhood. Maybe one of these days when I finally take some time off work.>>544685333Does my writing come off as feminine? Oof.>fortune 500 companies all purport to be left wing socialist communist marxistThat's a bold claim. Are you going to accuse me of secretly being a member of the John Birch Society if I suggest that might not be true?
>>544678959Someone should try this
>>544678959That might work for soups and salads. Or anything you can weigh that is done like a potato salad or a small slice of something.It would probably be impractical having the cook make tiny burgers or sandwiches, though.
>>544678959Pay what you want/can never works >My game is pay what you want (worth like 5 bucks)>80% pay nothing>15% pay $1>3% pay $5>2% pay $15
>>544677717Minneapolis deserves a nuke.
>>544677717Does this man have a ring in his nose?
>>544677717>Minneapolis'nuff said
>>544687159He identifies as a cow okay ?
>>544687107It could cost 50 bucks. I am going to torrent it.
everyone itt are a bunch of whiny cunts why don't you all shut the fuck up for a change, no one gives a shit about your opinions. your name is Eric and you're from Iowa and don't like hot sauce and you play pickleball on the weekends with your dad Rob who is an insurance salesman and watches the steelers and you'll die and no one will ever know you existed so why don't you fuck right off
>>544684458Capitalism is whomever produces the best goods at the lowest prices wins.
>>544677717I can respect that he put his money where his mouth was, at least
>>544687159A lot of faggots over here do shit like that
>>544677717These faggot marxist retail experiments never survive long-term without a shadowy (((cabal))) of (((private))) (((doners))) bankrolling their entire operations. It's almost like marxoids are rent-seeking genetic waste, worldwide, no matter the time or place lmao
>>544687658Kill all iowegians
>>544678676you get what you pay for :^)
>>544688879Does that include white socialist gibsmedat programs like free healthcare, free education, medicare, medicaid, social security, and social security disability? because it's funny how all the ones that "fail" happen to brown people after they're attacked by whites like in venezuela, libya, lebanon, iraq, iran, and elsewhere
>>544677717>, the U.S. federal government is projected to spend $2.4 trillion on net healthcare subsidies, which amounts to roughly 7.4% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). When factoring in hidden subsidies—such as tax exclusions for employer-sponsored health plans—the total fiscal footprint of federal health support approaches $2.7 trillion annually, accounting for nearly half of all healthcare spending nationwide.Notice how whites never talk about this part while saying "muh communism never works".
