Yeah, putting aside the clear political bias, Cannon has been sitting on routine pretrial motions that judges in her position usually rule on very quickly. To a limited degree I can sympathize that she might want to take extra time to be super careful with her rulings on such an important case. But the fact that she has only presided over four (read it: four) trials in her career, makes me think it’s gross inexperience verging on incompetence and that she is purposefully slow-walking to show plausibly deniable favor to the defendant.
Let’s remember that the defendant gave the judge her job. That’s so fucked up, America.
You’re looking at this backwards. It essentially would make a business compete with every other minimum wage job if all they’re offering is $20/h. They either raise wages to lure skilled workers, or try to provide some other benefits.
Newsom’s signature on Thursday reflects the power and influence of labor unions in the nation’s most populous state, which have worked to organize fast food workers in an attempt to improve their wages and working conditions.
“This is for my ancestors. This is for all the farm works, all the cotton-pickers. This is for them. We ride on their shoulders,” said Anneisha Williams, who works at a Jack in the Box restaurant in Southern California.
It doesn’t matter whether they believed the election was stolen. It’s not illegal to believe that, and that’s not what they’re accused of.
What actually matters is that they knew they were not the duly-appointed electors for their state. That’s what makes it fraud. That’s why they’re criminals. And that’s why they should spend a few decades confined to a small room where they can think about what they’ve done.
This focus is kinda weird ngl. Why is fast food entertainment being protected and promoted? Let the market crush this shit - we don’t need more McDonald’s garbage in this world.
I’m from farm country (thankfully no CAFOs, locally) and ngl. While I like oat milk, I love cold, whole dairy milk. As in I live alone and easily drink a gallon or more per week.
From the article, it sounds like there’s been specific legal stuff going on that influenced this:

It also settles — for now, at least — a fight between labor and business groups over how to regulate the industry. In exchange for higher pay, labor unions have dropped their attempt to make fast food corporations liable for the misdeeds of their independent franchise operators in California, an action that could have upended the business model on which the industry is based. The industry, meanwhile, has agreed to pull a referendum related to worker wages off the 2024 ballot.
So yeah, labor unions bringing cases that could effectively dismantle the corporate/franchisee relationship is a big, big deal to fast food companies, which are generally the most “franchised” types of businesses in the US. Agreeing to higher pay to slow unionization efforts and to outright stop cases that change how the core of their businesses function seems like a smart short-term move on their part.
It would still be better if it was for everyone, but this particularly seems to have some history behind why it happened for just these workers.
Ah yes formal business attire, the universal dress code for those who accomplish nothing while looking very important. Very appropriate
Ya know gym shorts and a t-shirt besides being infinitely more practical and comfortable would lead to confusion with actual hard working Americans who don’t have the luxury of getting paid to do nothing.
