That is unfortunate. Absolute red meat for both-sides-are-bad politics.

“California's statewide minimum wage is $16 per hour. Newsom signed a law last year that says fast food restaurants that are part of a chain with at least 60 locations nationally must pay their workers at least $20 per hour beginning April 1. But the law does not apply to restaurants that have their own bakeries to make and sell bread as a stand-alone menu item.”

Is there an explanation as to why making your own bread means minimum wage laws cannot be applied to businesses that otherwise meet these requirements?

For at least several generations Zionists have worked to conflate their political ideology with the Jewish identity, in an attempt the shield themselves from legitimate ideological criticism. To say you did not support their racial supremacist beliefs was to be antisemitism. And for a long time this bullshit worked. Twenty years ago you couldn’t find any significant American politicians who did not support Israel in all its endeavors. Even several years ago members of congress criticizing Israel’s apartheid government resulted in the members of congress being sanctioned. Here is to hoping we stop falling for this crap and start treating evil governments accordingly.

Ah I did not know Signal required a phone number compared to Telegram not requiring one. Thanks.

Why did Telegram get so popular in the privacy scene compared to Signal in the first place? To my knowledge Signal came out first and never had a history of breaches or leaks.

This really speaks to the issue of the ultra-wealthy being more interested in power over others than satiating their own needs or desires. Pathetic on their part, like a mental illness for power, manifest through the accumulation of money.

Far and away my favorite YouTube channel. Hugely influential considering their 1.5M subscribers.
