What would Dante have written about the end of Canto 6?
By adamg on Tue, 08/02/2016 - 11:00pm
Roving UHub photographer Joseph Laws reports a "For Rent" sign now hangs in the window of Canto 6, while fans of the JP bakery have a clipboard on which to write their thoughts on the loss.

Mordecai?
Is that you?
End of Canto VI
Finds Pluto, the god of wealth and embodiment of greed, waiting at the steps leading down. We have to wait for the next verse for him to speak.
The translation of the beginning of Canto VII (Pape Satàn, pape Satàn aleppe!) is debated, but I propose "This would be a great site for a five story building of million dollar condos."
Sorry we killed your business
How about Sorry we killed your business with 175 health & safety, gender equality, racial anti discrimination, sexual identity, environmental, insurance & liability, workers comp regulations plus four different kinds of taxes.
We were just JP liberals so our intentions were good.
Or ...
How about you really don't know what you're talking about in this case? I don't know the real reason they're closing, but it wasn't JP liberals who did it in.
No, and it wasn't Mordecai either.
He doesn't own that building and I haven't heard anything about a rent increase or development. The owner has been trying to sell the business for a long time with no success--unfortunate but baking is a tough, low margin business and it sounds as if there were personal/family reasons involved. I do wish someone great would take over--too late for Exodus Bagels but come on--anyone? Can Joanne Chang open a Mini-Flour?
Spoken by somebody...
Spoken by somebody who's never lived in an unregulated economy. Give it a try, do. Let us know how you feel about food poisoning, unsafe water supply, buildings that collapse, uninsured people who hit your car, employers who can smile in your face and say, "No Irish need apply", etc.
You benefit from how liberal
You benefit from how liberal Boston and Massachusetts are. Massachusetts has the highest wages in the country and Massachusetts schools have the best test scores in the country. If you want to see what a state being run by republicans looks like go check out a hell hole like Mississippi, where poverty, illiteracy and morbid obesity are the status quo.
yeah sure all that bad stuff, but what about their
FREEEEDOOOOMMM!

JIRA-13401: pattern matching still broken
Found in release: 8/3/16
Priority: P2

Description: Thanks for pushing out a quick fix for the 'unregistered accounts' thing I reported yesterday, but you missed the underlying problem: we can't keep spamming the wrong stuff in unrelated articles. Maybe we can switch the heuristic to pick a better message template based on word frequency counts? Like, the comment thread here would have been an OK candidate for a "LOL, JP hipsters" shitpost, but somehow we judged it to be a good candidate for "liberals are killing small businesses." Like I keep telling you, it just makes us look like unprofessional idiots when we get the wrong comment template--we'd do better to skip the thread if the confidence interval is too low.
Also, can someone reach out to the copy writers about the base text on these? I know they're procedurally generated, but the base template quality feels like it's decaying. "175 regulations"? No one talks like that. This 'EM Painter' guy sounds like he rides a Honda Goldwing and collects swords.
JP is a City State?
It is run by liberals? Makes its own rules for regulating restaurants?
Oh. Well then.
I hear Sudan has some great coffee places unregulated by anything - perhaps you should move?
Evidence?
What evidence do you have that regulations have anything at all to do with why they are closing?
When I was there recently, someone asked a worker why they were closing, and they said it was because the owners are having a baby and wanted to take a break from running a business.
