    A truly dogshit list.

    The real story here is that most of the other Amazing Cafe employees disagreed with the strike and that the employees who did strike did not have good reason to do so. Not only that, Mr. Reyes is an unreliable source (liar). He claimed in the Incline article that his wage was $14/hour (he was saying how it's unfair that other employees only make $9). In fact, Mr. Reyes' wage was $20/hour to make wraps and smoothies.

    I hate to put myself out there with an opinion like this but I feel that these striking employees are an embarrassment to our society. They also undermine the campaigns of people with real labor issues in this country (and world).

    If you get paid $20/hour to work at a cafe, and then you go on strike, you should have a trial with the maximum penalty being exile.

    Thanks for the Q&A. I love Chance's social media accounts. This gentleman is workin' hard to keep Pittsburgh dope.

    You rock, Nick. I'm a few weeks behind on my favorite column, and thoroughly enjoying catching up.

    Listen to WTF with Marc Maron episode 715 feat. Louie Anderson.

    The memories that were pulled from Louie in this interview were used in Maron's interview. I've always thought Maron and Sam Leonard were similarly capable interviewers.

    Even gun *owners* who favor more strict gun control laws are responsible? I think you've gone just too far, there.

    Does that include police departments? Fish & Game commissions trying to control wolf populations? Museums that own Civil War muskets? The Secret Service? Sorry for the reductio ad absurdum but I think you need to be extremely careful when entering this argument.

    I love Weird Pittsburgh! How about that story out of Quaker Valley? Those kids have demonstrated comedic mastery. And look how Quaker Valley is actually taking Stalin's advice and providing stickers to censor the Stalin quote! How ironic!?
