Conservatives believe that illegal aliens are taking their jobs because they hire illegal aliens to take jobs.

Smith, the wealthy owner of Broadway establishments including Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and Rippy’s, has been a public conservative presence in Nashville, notably mounting local opposition to COVID-related restrictions on public gatherings. He's also a Trump supporter and donor. Recent panic at his restaurants indicates that his own Broadway empire — and the wealth it has generated — relies directly on employing immigrants not authorized to work in the United States.

Hmm, how turn tables

There's always a bigger leopard

Nashville musician here. Steve Smith is also widely considered to be the biggest piece of shit in the state. He fancies himself a confederate Tony Soprano of sorts. Really he’s just burnt-out coke head like his buddy Kid Rock.

Honestly, yes I think Steve Smith would be a worse governor than Bill Lee. Now, Marsha Blackburn on the other hand… also worse but also probably smarter than both. And I would feel bad punching her in the face but Kid, Steve, and Bill not so much.

It's easy to be haha kid rock. But his life ain't affected by this. The hard working people in those kitchens are gonna miss a paycheck or worse.

They knew they were working for a moron

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

They were working where they could get work. The important part is they were contributing to society. Now they are not.

I didn't get any pop up to disable my adblock. I don't know what you are using.

Running uBlock and Pihole. If your Adblock isn't configured to ignore adblocker warnings you'll probably see it. I find I get them more on my phone than my PC

Brave browser blocks ads on my phone, and i never got the adblocker warning.

Yeah, I'm avoiding Chromium based browsers as best I can. I'm running Firefox with uBlock Origin and Pihole on my network itself.
