Taco John’s is asking Taco Bell to match its $100-per-restaurant donation to the nonprofit Children of Restaurant Employees, or CORE.
I hope Taco Bell matches this since they get to save on the legal fees. This would make this good news all around. Except that apparently the trademark is still held by Gregory Hotels Inc in New Jersey, so not fully in the clear yet!
That’s a good point. I don’t know anything about poultry processing plants, but is there dangerous (to human) equipment in these facilities, and why would a 16 year old be using said equipment? I remember working at Wendy’s and I wasn’t even allowed to use the chicken fryer at that age.
Republicans have been rolling back child labor regulations and protections in multiple states claiming it will save us from the labor shortage. I’m surprised it has taken me this long to see a story about the predictably disastrous results of this exploitative behavior. In the US capitalism is winning and the citizens of this country are losing.
July 1st, a 16-year-old died in a sawmill accident in northern Wisconsin. At the same time, the gerrymandered-as-hell state legislature is trying to eliminate child labor laws. Thank god we currently have a governor with a modicum of decency to veto the garbage.
I worked at a Foster Farms processing facility, and even in just the shipping department there are machines that could take your fucking head off and other things that could crush you if you’re not paying attention (which is hard because it’s also dark and loud). The rest of the plant is just as dangerous, if not more so. It’s one of the reasons I quit.
Yeah, my money is on the kid being inside a machine that you’re not supposed to be in, plus not being properly locked out/tagged out. When you’re a kid and the boss says “go clean out the machine”, you don’t really think “hmm, maybe there’s a safer way to do this”, you think “boss says do it, so it must be okay”. You just don’t have the experience.
I worked at what I would call a medium size plant, we processed 80-120k a day. There are a few minor crush hazards but honestly the biggest dangers would be accidents involving forklifts or trucks.
Isn’t the appeal of in-n-out the lower price point compared to other fast food burger places, rather than the options or stellar flavor? 5 guys is way more expensive and the customization/taste reflects that.
Agreed that 5 Guys is pricier (although here in CA fast food prices everywhere are through the roof) but, and this is just my opinion, which is basically worthless to anyone else - if I am going to pay In-n-out prices, I’d rather just go to Wendy’s or McDonalds. Although I will say that the shakes at in-n-out are the best, again just my opinion.
Because In N Out is also in Texas (my city has both), they are comparable in quality/price, and they are presently expanding. I’m sorry this information does not help you specifically, but that does not mean it’s useless to everyone.
Pretty sure I saw an article once (might even have been a post from a CO) saying they take any dead bodies to the ambulance before recording time of death. Artificially gives them 0 deaths in custody or something
Hearing the description of these buoy chains, they are there to kill people. The buoys spin on the cable they’re strung on, and under the buoy line is netting. There are blades between the buoys as well. Obrador’s words are completely accurate: these devices are barbaric.
Reminds me of the time a version of him refused to work with and tried to kill a version of Red Skull when he found out the dude was an actual Nazi rather than just cosplaying one. "I may be a criminal lunatic, but I am an American criminal lunatic". Which is an interesting take, dude's a sometimes omnicidal maniac who has on multiple occasions tried to destroy all of reality, but at least he's equal opportunity about it and it isn't for racist reasons.
Nah… most of batman’s villains have PhDs. Trump is like if a saturday cartoon villain had an unfortunate accident with an ice pick and lost 100 iq pts.
