Yearning For A Capitalist Society

[PoliticalChic]

Perhaps that should be 'yearning for honesty....'

Many actually disclaim that this is a socialist/communist/totalitarian one, administered by Liberal/Democrat apparatchiks....

See, when the government can use regulations to dictate every initiative of a private business endeavor, you can call it a capitalist, profit based business environment....but it ain't.

Case in point:


1. "Restaurant owner blasts city fines over single-gender ads

2. .... a downtown eatery was fined $5,000 fine just for placing an ad for “waitresses” ...

a, Bruno’s Italian eatery, Sistina, was slammed with its own $5,000 fine after a staffer placed an ad on Craigslist for a “hostess.”

b. ... the Windsor, a Greenwich Village sports bar, was fined after a sting by the city Commission on Human Rights caught it trying to hire “waitresses”

3. Gender-specific ads violate city civil-rights law.

4. Sistina, on Second Avenue at East 81st Street, employs a staff of 21 that includes three women.
One of them, Lara Kineavy, 24, said she posted the “hostess” ad on July 28 without giving a second thought to gender.
“I just wrote it as I would write any other ad,” she recalled.

5. Sistina’s e-mail account then received two résumés — one from a man and one from a woman. Both turned out to be “testers” from the commission.

Kineavy says Sistina did not respond to either e-mail. But in its complaint against the restaurant, the commission claimed only one e-mail — the one containing the woman’s résumé — was opened."

Why can't a so-called private business be allowed to make the kind of decisions that it decides benefit its bottom line????



Or, at least, have the political party that informs and enforces these outrageous 'laws' admit that it is no different than the former Soviet Union???

 

[TakeAStepBack]

I agree. A capitalist society would be nice. Question PC, were the fines due to city, state or federal laws in this case?

I agree. A capitalist society would be nice. Question PC, were the fines due to city, state or federal laws in this case?

Looks like the fines go to the coffers of communist mayor de Blasio right here in NYC.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

Well the silver lining then is at least it's just part of this pile of rubble we once called NYC. That man bothers me on levels I can not even begin to describe.

 

[Moonglow]

I was a waiter in OKC in the later 1970's and early 1980's...When I moved to NW Arkanass and tried to get a job as a waiter I was told that only females can wait tables......Most discriminating..... Where I live now, only females can be cashiers in convenient stores run by whites...

Perhaps you shouldn't have appeared for the job with your pants down.

You're as correct in this post as in every other one.
There hasn't been any snow in NYC.

I am, regrettably, old enough to remember when the employment classifieds had separate columns for male help wanted and female help wanted. And it was legal to be so.

Why go back to that?

[Steven_R]

I generally agree that less regulation is better than more regulation...

...but...

...there are any number of historical examples of banks and businesses simply engaging in really bad behaviors with really bad outcomes when there were no regulations. Real abuses of employees including paying in company script and the whole company store syndrome, not caring in the least about safety and the tragedies that followed, environmental abuses due to dumping waste or striping the land after extracting resources, monopolies, monosopies, hiring private detectives (read: legbreakers), and so on. And that's before we even get into all the shenanigans that go along with banks.

So, let's say the premise of regulation is bad and business owners alone should decide what happens in a business. How exactly do we keep the historical problems that came with no real regulation from cropping up again? And don't say the free market will police its own, because we tried that and it doesn't work in practice like it does on paper.

I am, regrettably, old enough to remember when the employment classifieds had separate columns for male help wanted and female help wanted. And it was legal to be so.

Why go back to that?

So.....you have no such an ad that you can link to?

But we both knew that, didn't we, you loser.

 

[BlindBoo]

The fine imposed by New York City seem excessive in light of the fact that simply adding a "/Host" or a "/Waiter" to the ads would have been sufficient to comply with the statute. I think there should be a requirement for written warning too.

The laws were passed by duly elected officials, right? Or was there a Marxist/Commie coup in NY that the Liberal Press ignored?
