Woke Massachusetts Bar Lifts Mask Mandate, Gets Canceled by Its Own Customers

A Massachusetts lesbian bar dropped its mask mandate in 2026 and its own woke patrons turned on it. The Last Ditch is socialism in miniature.

In this episode, I break down the Boston Globe story. Three idealistic housemates opened the bar last year, turned no one away for lack of money, and welcomed the poor and unhoused but not the police. Now two of them have left, and the one still standing is reportedly drowning in debt.

I also get into the basic economics, my suggested rebrand (Dire Straits), and the two lessons this bar teaches about woke socialism.
