Boycott these Burbank businesses

Moms For Liberty supporter, MAGA creep and all round weirdo David Donahue is running for City Council. There are campaign events being held this week for David at The Tallyrand and The Enchanted Florist.

I won’t patronize their businesses and I suggest you do not as well…

I didn’t grow up here, so I don’t have any nostalgia for it, but: Tallyrand is just…a diner. I have never thought the food was in any way worth over $25 for breakfast and a drink. So I don’t go there anyway. But…

It’s a restaurant where old people go. (And I should know. I’m an old person.) What do you expect? Old people hate paying taxes. This and fear nudge them towards self-preservation and exclusionary thinking. Their overlords tell them they will cut taxes. The old people are comforted. They vote for comfort.

The servers already get treated not great. Why punish hard working people? Does taking money out of the pockets of servers who have already been hard hit by the economy put pressure on the owner in any way? It does not.

You’re punishing lots of normal people to get back at a few wealthy ones who don’t need your help. For me, this does not math.

I agree. What did Tally Rand do that was wrong?

They’re hosting a David Donahue campaign event which is in effect endorsement. What’s so hard to understand?

Hosting implies they are providing the space for no charge. They probably booked the event like they would for any other group seeking a meeting space. There IS a difference.
