“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?
Flynn has been a generous donor to Newsom’s political campaigns, including contributing $100,000 to fight a failed recall effort against the governor. Bloomberg reported that the two men attended the same high school. Flynn also acquired a resort managed by Newsom’s hospitality business in 2014, but terminated the management contract about a year after the purchase, according to the news outlet.
people gonna find out the hard way the libertarian party is funded by psychos.
the democrats are the best that the current voting system can deliver and we should make more efforts to implement an alaska style top 4 RCV system in the future. The way you prevent corruption of elected officials is to make it very easy to vote them out.
The libertarian are psychos. The next time you meet one and you determine that they aren’t just a Republican trying to have sex with a Democrat just mention to them “age of consent laws” and watch a small part of them die.
Absolute red meat for both-sides-are-bad politics.
Not exactly a secret that local economic interests dictate policies to career climbers in the political scene. This isn’t even a “both sides” thing. Its a “how does a democracy actually work in practice” thing. The Whigs operate like this. The UK Tories and Labour operate like this. The German Greens and the Spanish People’s Party operate like this. Its the baseline of liberal democracy the world over.
That is unfortunate. Absolute red meat for both-sides-are-bad politics.
Only if you really want it to be.
The real reason was because the law was specifically tailored for fast food, so to protect bakeries and other places it had the clause about the bread.
The law defines what a fast-food restaurant is, and says it is not an establishment that “operates a bakery that produces for sale on the establishment’s premises bread."
The donor was just confused if that meant him, ultimately he decided it probably did but that he’d pay them anyways.
But yeah this is totally the same thing as trump being friendly with Russia.
Cali should be full of progressives. But there’s lots of money in being an incumbent in a seat the other party can’t win.
Hell, Pelosi and AIPAC just got another I to the Senate. He’ll keep taking donor money well after Pelosi is buried, and preventing a candidate that agrees with Cali voters from taking that seat for decades.
It can’t change till we get them out of power in the Dem party, but we can’t compete with their do ors money in a primary.
These days were lucky if we even get a primary.
Shit needs to change while it’s still able to change

Well, both sides are bad. It’s just that one side is way, way worse.
Both sides are bad.
They’re just looking out for different rich people.
People say voting 3rd party is a waste, but voting democrat just slows the loss.
Losing is still losing, lol.

Just saying, I never mentioned libertarians.
Ranked-choice voting would be nice, but democrats don’t support it because they’re bad people.
