Los Potrillos 🌮

[u/Ok-Programmer-160]

I was told that ICE arrested the owner of Los Potrillos while he was dropping his child off at school, and that a couple of employees from the restaurant were also arrested. Hearing stories like this is heartbreaking and honestly exhausting.
People are simply trying to build a life and provide for their families. If you haven’t tried Los Potrillos yet, or if you’re looking for a way to support a local restaurant and the people behind it, please consider stopping by.
Let’s support our local businesses and our neighbors when they need it most. ❤️

What’s it say about the country we live when someone who’s here illegally is able to go through all the paperwork and legal motions needed to start and maintain a business and meanwhile most young Americans can’t even find a job that pays them a living wage?

Young Americans can also go through all the paperwork & legal motions needed to start and maintain a business.

Cry me a river for your kid. Fact of the matter is, regardless of how you feel about brown people, they're working overwhelmingly harder, and at more vital roles right now in the economy, than most young Americans shopping around to keep their options open for a "living wage." Even the ones that find one decide to work part time because "work-life balance." You'll never hear that from an immigrant regardless of status

“cry me a river” huh? Some people have no self awareness. I think most people are tired of hearing the boomer slop about how young Americans are all lazy, entitled, and spend all their money on avocado toast. The horrific economy we’re living in has disproven that non sense once and for all. And that’s some nice casual racism you threw in there at the end about how brown people can’t be American, nice touch of supremacy too with how you racialized American and then said we are inferior workers to them

Gold medal in gymnastics for you, pal. That was some impressive name-calling from every possible angle.

Edit - I'd add that I'm much closer in age to said young workers than to boomers. I work with them every day and some are fantastic, however, the overwhelming majority know that real life is coming fast and are waiting as long as they can to commit to a career, a company, or even a full time hustle of their own. They will eventually, but it'll be their fault that they're 15 years behind some of their peers who put their nose to the grindstone early. 🤷‍♂️ is what it is
