    Annals of GQP hypocrisies

    Greg Abbot today:

    I’m signing a law today that prohibits any business operating in Texas from requiring vaccine passports or any vaccine information.

    Texas is open 100% without any restrictions or limitations or requirements.
    Lol.

    I’m old enough to remember when Republicans would not approve of government bureaucrats dictating what private businesses can and cannot do.

    They would have labeled that “socialism”

    Seems like this is a good enough heading to return to current events.

    Must have been embarrassing for Donnie to admit he can only put together less than 3% of what he claims as his total worth.

      Newsom sparks outrage over minimum wage exemption benefiting donor, critics demand probe: 'Crooked deal'

      Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom has sparked outrage and calls for an investigation from Republican lawmakers after allowing an odd exemption to the state's $20 minimum wage law that benefits one of his donors.

      Newsom reportedly pushed for an exemption that allows restaurants baking and selling bread as a standalone item to continue paying its employees the current rate of $16 an hour. The peculiar carve-out means billionaire Greg Flynn, a longtime Newsom donor, could save hundreds of thousands of dollars at his two dozen Panera Bread franchise locations across California, Bloomberg first reported Thursday.

      The move has since prompted calls for a probe from the top Republican lawmaker in the state.

      "Can any franchisee get an exemption from the $20 minimum wage law or do they need to donate more than $150k to Newsom first?" California Republican Caucus Chairman James Gallagher wrote in a social media post.

      "This crooked deal needs to be investigated," Gallagher said.

      California Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones also criticized the exemption, calling it "crony capitalism."

      "Panera couldn't afford Democrat lawmakers' $20 minimum wage requirement for fast food restaurants," Jones said in a statement. "Lucky for them, their franchise owner donated over $160,000 to Governor Newsom, who got them an exemption. Unfortunately, other restaurants lacked such substantial donations and now must comply with the new minimum wage by all means necessary, including layoffs and replacing workers with automation."

      "Campaign contributions should not buy you carve-outs in legislation," Jones added. "This isn’t 'sausage making' as the governor suggests, it’s crony capitalism. Corrupt and UNACCEPTABLE."
