for the record, this is increasingly my hypothesis for many a region's economy. This sort of consolidated economic power would explain regional stagnation in wages across more than one industry. KC had this with tech for ~3 decades because of Cerner. I'm not shocked similar happens with services.

there is an essay, along these lines, to be written on the imperial boomerang being mirrored in the patterns produced by lauding the abstract violence of business as progress. I am not yet equipped to write it but I think it would be significant.

What’s comforting in moments like these is knowing that the children of the class of shadowy cabals of segregationist neo-klansmen business owners don’t go on to reproduce the same culture of managerial control in the governments, universities, and businesses that they go on infiltrate and control.

I am genuinely losing my mind. The joke is, prima facie, objectively true.

The reason Westport has continued to suck and decline in quality over the last decade is because it is literally in the death grip of racist petite bourgeoisie

THE COUP: How a Black Restaurateur Lost His Lease in One Week According to court documents, Christopher Lee did everything right. He negotiated for weeks. Flew to California to meet the property owner. Signed a 10-year lease for 4128 Broadway, the former Ale House location in the heart of Westport, on October 21, 2024. Paid a $10,000 deposit two days later. Then his concept, a restaurant and lounge called Euphoric Bar & Lounge, quickly started generating buzz on social media, especially among Black community organizers and promoters. To handle hiring and administrative logistics, Lee used his hospitality and staffing company, Ale House West, to host a recruitment event for Euphoric Bar & Lounge on October 23, 2024. He said the name “Ale House West”— a legacy brand he used solely for business administration — sparked confusion online, as some assumed the defunct “Ale House” bar was reopening. According to filings, Westport CID members seized on that misunderstanding, disregarding Lee’s clarification that Ale House West was merely a hiring service, not the name of the new venue. People talked about jobs. A reopening. The energy you get when a neighborhood is about to see something new. That’s when everything stopped. The keys never came. The landlord, Harold Brody, whose business, 4128 Broadway, LLC, held the lease, allegedly told Lee to change the name, to “target an older crowd,” and to avoid “that young hip-hop crowd.” By the following week, the locks stayed shut. When Lee pointed out Brody was breaching the lease, the owner allegedly responded: “sue me.” What happened between the deposit and the dead bolt? According to the lawsuit: the Westport power structure intervened. Court documents describe a web of phone calls, pressure, and what plaintiffs frame as a shakedown. Brody admitted on a recorded call that Lee wasn’t actually in breach of the lease, stating, “I’m not suggesting that there’s a breach at all it’s just.. it didn’t pan out.” He

That's wild. Kendrick Lamar managed to drop a single with a beat so iconic that four notes have become an audio short-hand for... Well... people likely to show up in the Epstein letters. But like that's how ubiquitous his music is. And he's not even the biggest act on this ban-list.

Being so racist that you believe that banning types of music will keep dancing black people from entering your business district is like 1950s level of racism, I am losing my fucking mind

This is so fucking wild, man. I never thought about how the shitty music was so fucking consistent between bars and restaurants
The receipts described in the complaint are damning. Text messages between Westport community property owners conspiring to strategically “eliminate ‘problematic’ owners in Westport, and for the purpose of preventing ‘problematic’ people from patronizing Westport.” A secret “No Play List“ banning popular Black artists like Beyoncé, Meg the Stallion, Drake, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Migos, and Travis Scott from being played at venues. Landlords admitting on tape that they had no legal grounds to block a Black restaurateur’s lease, but doing it anyway after the CID intervened. And a twelve-member CID board, every single member white, acting as gatekeepers over who gets liquor licenses and who gets “turned in to Regulated Industries,” the city agency that polices alcohol permits.” If Lee’s claims are proven, this is what a modern conspiracy to permeate segregation throughout a community looks like. Not burning crosses. Not explicit laws. But contracts weaponized as cudgels, liquor licenses held hostage, and music turned into evidence of who deserves to belong. Welcome to what can only be described as a new form of Jim Crow in Kansas City.

Not an exaggeration, btw. I’ve lived here nearly 1/2 my life & it’s the same shit from the same commercial lots. It‘s one giant conspiracy by neo-confederate business segregationists. I guarantee you this isn’t unique to Westport. It’s a rare preview into the unspoken law of American small business.

I've always loved eggnog, but now it's coquito for me.

I like this recipe with dark rum and use sweetened condensed coconut milk instead of dairy.
