    Well, it is, because newsom got an exception for restaurants with a standalone “bread” menu item and some caveats that basically made it only apply to Panera Bread.

    (Incidentally, This is the essence how the whole federal tax codes and tariff schedules work)

        The whole system is set up to prevent leaders who are good for the people from winning (primaries specifically, the only candidates who do well are those that corporate interests approve of). So you know we end up with a mix of bickering over inconsequential nonsense and people trying to convince us that giving up our liberties is actually good for us, to keep us away from what actually matters.
