"A group of San Francisco fast food workers has won a major and long-deferred victory against their former employers, who have been ordered by the state to pay $2.2 million in wage theft citations.
Golden Gate Restaurant Group Inc., which previously operated six Burger King franchises in San Francisco, owes 230 people who worked at the locations between 2016 and 2019 more than $724,000 in unpaid wages, as well as more than $371,000 in interest and an additional $1.2 million in penalties, the California Labor Commissioner’s Office decided in late December."

“A frog, always adapting to an ever-warming pot of water, eventually loses its ability to jump out and dies.
We are adjusting insurance rates, building homes on stilts, buying and selling more deadly weaponry, turning up the air conditioning, and watching the whole thing unfold right before our eyes on a TV screen held in our hands.
The greatest threat to our collective survival might be not knowing when to stop adapting to the ever-accumulating, negative consequences of our own activities.”
