I’m really bored with the combative style all journalists now use. It’s so counterproductive, it just produces a defensive interview

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour
The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases
Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

What really happened after California raised its minimum wage to $20 for fast food workers
What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?

One year ago, Kash Patel, while sniffling repeatedly as he does in every interview (he just can’t shake that cold) promised to prosecute Hunter for new crimes. Then Trump names him FBI Director. He told you ahead of time he’s going after Hunter. So tired of the pearl clutchers.

This is just a small handful of the hundreds of pardons Trump gave to drug traffickers, violent felons, fraudsters, donors, friends, cronies, wealthy businessmen, campaign aides, and Republican politicians.

The Hunter Biden pardon is a disgrace. Everyone knows that if you want your crimes ignored in America, you have to run for President.

I worked in a casino in my late teens/twenties. I was regularly touched up by managers & punters. A receptionist was raped by a high value punter, she was fired, he was still allowed to come in. I couldn’t complain without losing my job. That’s why we didn’t speak out earlier.

That’s not trolling the UK govt anymore - that’s straight up campaigning for a political party in a foreign country.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
