The Real Reasons Sambo's Restaurants Closed Down

Back in the 1970s we used to go to Sambo s Restaurant all the time. Especially late at night when the bars closed. That s when we d head over to Sambo s – every weekend at 2am – for steak and eggs. That s what I would hear every Friday/Saturday night from my circle of friends: “steak & eggs, steak & eggs, steak & eggs.”
In almost every section of Michigan, you would be able to find a Sambo s. The first Sambo s opened in 1957 and by 1969, there were almost 100 locations nationwide. Before the local Denny s, Sambo s filled our late-night needs.but there were problems arising, unknown to us.

A child reads a Dr. Seuss book
Dr. Seuss Enterprises, a private company, has chosen to respond to consumer desires while seeking to maximize the sales of their products in the long run in a capitalist free market.
To this end, it has announced that it will no longer sell six individual children s books written decades ago by Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, because of the books racist depictions of Asians and Blacks. This decision has engendered fury and cries of political correctness from the right - the same people who usually view the unfettered free market as the paragon of individual freedom.
