McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely. The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience. Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

Thank you for the advice, sir . I am humbly aware that offensive language is the real issue in politics today. Who cares about fixed elections, crime, or child trafficking, when offensive syntax should clearly be seen as our real enemy? Just kidding. Eat shit. #INSTABLOCK

Footage of UK Royal Marines boarding the Smyrtos tanker, carrying over 100,000 tons of Russian crude, overnight in the English Channel. First time Britain has physically seized a Russian shadow fleet tanker in its own waters.

The moment the Ukrainian type Ljutyj long-range drone struck the oil depot in Rybinsk, Yaroslavl region, in Russia. This drone type has a range of up to 2,000 km (1,250 miles).

Among all the European nations that have already joined the European Union or see such a prospect for themselves, Ukraine is the one making the greatest sacrifices for Europe. We are not simply carrying out internal reforms, nor are we simply going through a transformation. We are fighting for our state, for our independence, and for our right to choose our own path and to be Europe. And this right of ours is at the same time the right of every nation in our region. We are fighting for our freedom and theirs, for Europe for ourselves and for them – for the Baltic states and for Poland, for Hungary and Slovakia, for Romania and Moldova, and for the peoples of the Caucasus. That is why the fate of Europe is being decided here – it is being decided in Ukraine, in this war, and in how this war ends – and whether Russia will still have the strength and the desire after this war to threaten the existence of Ukraine and its other neighbors, and the entirety of Europe. That is why we must end this war with dignity and with guaranteed security. And this is what we will discuss with our partners during the G7 Summit in France, and later at the European Council Summit and at the NATO Summit in Ankara.

Another major Ukrainian drone/jet drone/cruise missile raid into Russia ongoing tonight. Russian channels report hundreds of launches.

🌉 Another major drone attack on the Chongar crossings linking Crimea with occupied Kherson Oblast appears to be underway right now.

Держсекретар США Марко Рубіо знову привітав російський народ із так званим Днем Сосії... 🤡

We filmed in Mauthausen in 1977, the only totally intact Holocaust museum, and it is a hellacious place. Once you’ve been there, you just know the hate is always lurking. And now American Jews like Schumer, Nadler, Raskin, and Schiff are celebrating a Democrat Nazi candidate.

Russia's VNIIR Progress military electronics plant, seen earlier today after it was massively damaged in a Ukrainian Flamingo strike: Anti-drone netting had been installed, but failed to stop the 8 ton, 40-foot-long Ukrainian cruise missile and its 2,500-pound warhead.

An extraordinary incident: a Russian soldier approached a downed Ukrainian FPV drone, gathered some of its debris, tossed it back into the fire and knelt down right next to it to watch it burn.

Why would anyone consider this hysterical propagandist a “journalist?”
