  • I think as individuals, most all of them are opposed to child abuse. Protecting children from “woke groomers” is one of their unifying battle cries.

    Sadly, their tribalism is stronger than their concern for the kids. Once one of their own is accused of child abuse, they rally to their defense. In their mind, they are the good guys, and someone who’s on the “good guy team” could never do something like that. The only reasonable explanation is that they were wrongly accused or there was a terrible misunderstanding, or sigh they deserved/ asked for it.

    Of course, this rabid tribalism attracts MORE predators. As long as they can convince everyone that they are “one of them” they know that they can get away with a few more lies than if they were hanging out with independent thinkers.







  • Here’s some general rules I’ve learned.

    Corporate often has more resources to pay better and offer more benefits, but often have very strict standards that they follow. Every store must run the same. And their nationally known name will bring in enough people to keep you busy.

    Indy stores are much more flexible with how they run things, and the front line employees have the opportunity to participate in the owner’s decisions. Small businesses run a tight budget, and can’t afford the compensation that corporate offers. You won’t see as much traffic, so you will probably pick up additional responsibilities in your downtime.

    Franchises are somewhere in the middle, they can’t afford to pay you, and they won’t listen to you.

    Of course, these are general rules, and there are exceptions. A stubborn small business owner, or a stingy corporation can eliminate any of the positives that I’ve listed above, or a really great business could defy the negatives normally associated with each.
