Looks like it’s asshole employer day. > **[A restaurant must pay workers $140,000 after allegedly hiring a fake priest...](https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/20/business/california-restaurant-fake-priest-fine/index.html)** > > A restaurant in California has been ordered to pay $140,000 in back wages and damages to employees after it hired a priest to extract workers’ confessions, in what federal investigators are calling “the most shameless” acts of corruption an employer...

I suspect that what they’re thinking is that people they disagree with are trying to “own” their youth, by teaching them things that their parents disagree with, and need to be stopped from doing so. It may not have occured to them that it’s going to read to others as their being the ones trying to “own” everybody’s youth. Which they are doing, of course; as well as trying to “own” their own children, which they probably think is the right and proper way to parent them. ---
