I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS

Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark

Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap

The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name

He did this six times

Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

"Tuesday’s results only bolster an already-clear truth: transgender people’s inclusion in the Democratic tent is not the cause of the party’s woes. Nor will throwing us overboard alleviate them." www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Democrats Can't Blame Trans People for Their Own Failures

Despite the attempts by so many in the party's establishment to paint trans rights as a toxic issue, transphobia was soundly rejected across the country this week.

We saw the early stages of this during the "Critical Race Theory" panic in '21 when they began pushing those smears during the VA state elections.

The fact that legacy press breathlessly amplified it and even offered their own sanitized spin demonstrated how eager they were to play along.

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.

“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”

then 4 years later they're back failing to run the country again

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

Far Side cartoon with image of a man holding a paint brush. Everything around him has been labeled in large words: "The Tree," "The House," The Dog," "The Cat," "The Door," "Garbage Can," even his own clothing reads "Shirt," and "Pants." The caption to the comic reads "Now! That should clear up a few things around here!"
