for context NYC offered a $10k reward for any critical information about the homocide which is about the cost of a single 15 minute ambulance ride after UnitedHealthcare denies coverage bc the EMTs responding to the call were out of network

Multiple Burger King and Popeyes franchises across Massachusetts has been hit with over $2 million in fines for violating child labor law.
