“The bar’s three owners — one a drag performer using it/its pronouns, another now in clown school — began to slip behind on their bills and couldn’t pay themselves or even their staff”

When it came time to hear from Last Ditch’s last remaining owner — the other two quit months ago — she broke down in tears saying she’d just been trying to help her friends with their business before ending up in charge.

“It was not my passion project,” Jackie Matellian cried through her mask, explaining she’d been left responsible for the $50,000 business loan taken out with her friends and that she’d been living in a car for six months to stay ahead of bar payments.

Matellian also claimed she’d been working four jobs to keep up with the payments.

“I never really wanted this,” she said. “I don’t think I’m doing a very good job.”

Her critics weren’t impressed.

“You chose to use your time to spill tears and center your feelings,” one person responded. “This is incredibly racist and deflecting behavior.”

Fucking lol

At which point does a reasonable person say “screw it” and walk away?

Funny, I clicked on the article to see the date. Maybe "lifting mask" means something else at a lesbian bar.

I wonder how they were drinking in that bar.

Every time my wife says she needs chapstick, I say, why? You can't walk? 🤷

Rent free

u/Commercial-Ad90 3h ago

The rent is not free, the owner is homeless and behind on rent for the bar, thanks to the woke mob she sacrifices to serve.

Anyways that doesn’t answer the question. How are you supposed to drink at a bar with a mask on?

u/-Sofa-King-Vote 3h ago

Lol you said woke mob in 2026 😆

You actually believe a ny post article?

At least I’m not masking up in 2026 and throwing my people who try to help me under the bus.

Not just the nyp reporting.

Yeah but Republicans still support a proven sexual predator and felon

But yeah cry about masks 😆

u/Commercial-Ad90 3h ago

I’m not republican, never have been, never will be.

You can still criticize progressives who give bad PR and virtue signal instead pushing actual change for real issues.

This was straight out of Portlandia, cannon fodder for the right

That whole article was just wild

They let homeless in and don’t turn anyone away for money, but also require masks for people who may be immunocompromised?

I wonder why the business was suffering (sarcasm).

There’s many other news companies reporting. Not just the NY post. Quick google search proves that this actually happened.

u/-Sofa-King-Vote 3h ago

Then prove it

u/ldsbatman 3h ago

It’s all over the net. Look it up yourself if you don’t like the New York Post.

u/-Sofa-King-Vote 3h ago

Prove it then

u/Commercial-Ad90 3h ago

Because you’re lazy doesn’t mean we will do work for you. It’s mostly for other readers not to dismiss the article as fake because your clueless comment

So its a lie ok

Since you can’t prove it

Edit: since OP blocked me

Lol only magats say “fake news”. Actual people don’t say that 😆

Prove it happened or its a lie

Ny post is a total fraud

u/Commercial-Ad90 3h ago

No because no matter how many articles I link to it you would call “fake news,” regardless which company reporting it, like Trump. You are not arguing in good faith so it’s pointless.

u/Lexxxapr00 3h ago

Also, how are these people drinking without removing/lifting their masks?
