…hurting the ones she professes to believe to be oppressed and MUST be set free by Government Decree (emphasis mine):

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker recently held a gala to raise funds for the One Fair Wage campaign which is designed to raise wages for those in the restaurant industry.  Some tickets went for $50,000 and each dinner cost $500. This is did not sit well with many who happen to work in the restaurant business. Many within that industry fear that an increase in the minimum wage will result in job losses.

For heaven’s sake, that’s NEVER happened before!  Just ask those in San Francisco and Seattle and other places where they’ve “lifted up the oppressed by making SURE they earn more”.

In fact, Joshua Chiasson, a representative for the Restaurant Workers of America, had this take on the gala:

I’ve been contacted by dozens of servers who were interested in protesting this event.  They were particularly furious about a $50,000-per-table fundraiser to harm our industry, attended by people who don’t work in our industry.

That’s par for the course for your average social justice warrior, but rest assured Parker surely feels virtuous in her misguided venture.

But, but, but – Virtue Signaling heals all ills, right?  Just like waging war by hashtags.

A question for Sarah Jessica Parker: are you willing to work at the same wage as the lowest paid staffer on your shows / productions?  Hey, one wage, right?

I dunno about you but I’m getting tired of other people telling those that employ others how to run their businesses.  If they’re so dang determined to see that the “right thing” is done, put your money where your mouth is and start your own (in this case) restaurant and put in the same economic strictures upon it you insist that others must do.
