most restaurant workers *would* rather be with their own families than watch that guy try to figure out a 15% tip in his head, it’s true

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Actual New Yorkers know Fifth Avenue (never 5th!) in NYC doesn’t intersect with Wall Street. It ends at Washington Square Park.
Can you find the other clues that this account is lying and probably a foreign-run bot?
