An interesting and somewhat infuriating development in California:

The minimum wage for fast food workers has been raised from $16/hr to $20/hr, with a VERY specific exception for Panera. Turns out a major donor of Gavin Newsom's is a high school friend who now owns 24 Panera locations.

I first heard about this on Morning Brew Daily 2/29/24, where they go into detail on how the legislation impacts California, what induced it, and how the exception works. In text format, the story is also available here.

California's minimum wage in all fields is currently $16/hr, with certain cities and counties having much higher minimum wages. Unfortunately, despite legal protections, undocumented workers and other minorities are often paid at less than that, which is a lasting problem. Paying subminimum wages to disabled workers will also not be fully banned until 2025, a process that has been in the works since 2021.

If you live in Cali, I'd suggest calling your state reps (not federal) to express that you applaud the raise in minimum wage, but not the exception carved out for Panera specifically.

Sex is great, but have you ever lied in bed with a book and a warm cup of tea with birds singing outside your window while the sun rises?

LOOK WHO JUST ARRIVED

This is the Excel Tips Deskpad from Morning Brew and I'm losing my mind with how excited I am

I also got a mug, which was the thing I went to get in the first place, along with a notebook and a shirt, the latter two of which were heavily discounted, because I wanted the free shipping lol. But the second I saw the excel shortcuts deskpad... had to have it.
