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

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.

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.

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.

Ridiculous BBC headline: "Public sector pay deals help drive up UK borrowing". Nothing to do with corporate welfare, contracts for cronies, Govt paying higher energy bills, HMRC not collecting £500bn since 2010, Tory legacy. Just blame workers wanting decent pay. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Borrowing was £17.4bn last month, the second highest October figure since monthly records began in 1993.

To give a sense of comparison? Jeremy Clarkson purchased a whopping 400 hectares (20 times the average farm size) back in 2008. So whatever you do, don't think he's the average farmer; he really isn't.

As C4 explains, children of single farmers with the average value of a farm (£2.2m) will pay £140k tax. It’s zero if the farmer is married. The govt plans mean farmers will receive a £1.5m tax free allowance. That’s £1m more than the most of the population.
