Idk what this means? Minimum wage is not a living wage nor should it be. Minimum wage is meant for jobs that require minimum skills. When you’re going to college and need beer money or retired and want to stay mobile. There are tons of jobs out there that pay above min wage however you have to adhere to a strict 9-5/5 schedule. With service work, you have the flexibility to work different hours but with that flexibility comes the trade off of potentially lower wages. I know a ton of restaurant works who make really good money and they bust their ass for it. Imo if you’re working for min wage in a restaurant you should only be doing so to learn the business and start your own thing…

Where do you want to live?? Downtown or in Columbia?? Downtown neighborhoods to look at would be Mt Vernon Fed Hill Canton. Downtown Columbia is getting pretty built up with a lot of cool new apartment buildings and restaurants

This is my point. There is this huge “Atlas is bad” movement online but it just doesn’t add up with the experiences I’ve ever had and no one can explain it to me. It’s always simply “they just are” I suppose it has a lot to do with their success? Jealousy maybe? The fact that the uncle owns Sinclair? Idk. It’s obviously a thing people hate , I have 11 downvotes on a comment where I’m simply asking a question 😂

“Gaslighting” lol. This is the typical response when this topic comes up. Oh I don’t have time to show you actual evidence but it’s there! And then throw in a term like gaslighting or some other progressive word Du jour. I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, I was just asking for specifics because to date no one has been able to show me a single one.

I mean I wouldn’t put any of their restaurants on my list of faves in the city although I do like Tagliata and Monarque is also pretty good, but I think they put together a good solid experience. If I’m going out to eat I’m going to Prime Rib, Le Comptoir du vin, Magdalena, Alma.. places like that. This city has some amazing chefs that often get lost in the noise but I would say most of those aforementioned places don’t have the vive where you feel like you’re not in Baltimore except for maybe Prime Rib, where you feel like you’re about to get whacked at any given moment.

I honestly could care less. The reason we as a society can’t come together is because if you present an opinion that is contrarian to someone else’s chances are they yell racism or some other ism. I just asked for actual specifics and no one can ever give them to me.

Not sure I understand… there was 1 incident that was blown way out of proportion and turned into a money grab and there was another blow up about a dress code which was ironic because assuming ONLY black people wear jerseys and work boots is the definition of racist… but other than that I’ve not seen any serious concrete evidence.
