Are they calling their customers "ethically bankrupt sources"?

Pay what you can but then get mad when you don't make enough money to pay your lease every month.

Not an optimal business strategy.

I think he's calling the capitalists, that he hates, bankrupt sources. They didn't use their capital, which he hates, to invest in his anti-capitialist experiment.

This doesn't really have anything to do with capitalism or socialism. This business was functioning as a charity that accepts (and requires) voluntary donations, except there weren't enough donations.

Not exactly, they had a pay what you can model for their regular coffee. Everything else was over-priced to offset the costs. Most people aren't going to pay $10 for a Danish or over $50 for a "All Shop-Lifters go to Heaven" t-shirt.

It seems to have good reviews overall, so it just wasn't economical.

Cringe aside the reason this thing shut down is probably because of the same reasons nearly every cafe shuts down within a year or two of opening doors.

I've seen "pay what you want" businesses thrive.

So still nothing to do with capitalism. Capitalists have used the "unprofitable product subsidised by profitable ones" model for ages

Well yeah, the chances of that happening are indeed significantly higher in the US, but this isn't a topic about guns.

Well, if people keep eating a $30 amount of food but paying only $1, yes they are.
