It was started by two white girls who based their recipes on techniques they learned in Mexico. The shop was shut down after negative media attention surrounding accusations of racism and "cultural appropriation" when the girls shared with a news source that they "peeped" in on older Mexican women making burritos and tried to replicate the recipe in the U.S.They were soon accused of stealing the recipes and thousands of negative Yelp reviews appeared. The business closed up shop shortly after.Was this actually cultural appropriation? Was this tyranny? Was this capitalism and the free market at work? less

When people do wrong and get away with it emboldens them to go out and keep doing bad stuff only the bad stuff gets worse and worse and more and more. Why not? WHY should anyone get away with anything? It is always at someone else's expense. How is THAT fair?

The following is excerpted from his feature on the site he founded and runs:A widely held tenet of the current conventional wisdom is that while President Trump might not be popular overall, he has a high floor on his support. Trump’s sizable and enthusiastic base — perhaps 35 to 40 percent of the country — won’t abandon him any time soon, the theory goes, and they don’t necessarily care about some of the controversies that the “mainstream media” treats as game-changing developments.
