California United Law GroupCalifornia Labor Code §98.6 and §1102.5 protect restaurant workers from retaliation when reporting wage violations. Can't be fired for complaining about unpaid wages, missed meal breaks, or overtime issues. Labor Commissioner investigates and can order reinstatement, back pay, and penalties against violating employers. All workers protected. #LaborRights #California #WorkersProtection #WageAndHour
#CaliforniaWorkers: Off-the-clock work is illegal, period. Whether it's 5 minutes or 50 minutes, if you're performing work-related tasks outside your clocked hours, you must be compensated. This includes pre-shift setup, post-shift cleanup, and donning protective equipment. Keep detailed records of all unpaid work time. #LaborRights #WageTheft #WorkersRights
California's ABC test shifted the burden to employers to prove independent contractor status. Under Dynamex and AB5, workers are presumed employees unless the hiring entity proves: (A) freedom from control, (B) work outside usual business, (C) independent business operation. This protects temporary and gig workers from misclassification that costs them wages and benefits. #LaborRights #WorkerProtection #CaliforniaLaw

Good AI, Bad AI: How to Distinguish Between a Good Idea That Challenges Real Problems and a Bad Idea That Only Virtue Signals
We are currently watching the internet tear itself apart over the metaphysical dread of artificial intelligence, resulting in marginalized groups cannibalizing each other for social credit. By tracing the historical blueprints of respectability politics and legal copyright infringement, this essay provides a functional, actionable framework to escape the doomism. It is a necessary structural guide to separating the human utility of AI from the exploitative nature of the tech industry.
From now on, anyone that comes at me over AI gets a facefull of Teddy Ruxpin. 👿

Mojo ♻️It is a grim day when the very corporate giants and bankers who have spent years extraction record profits from the Australian public start "warning" us that a recession is the only solution.
Wesfarmers and big bank executives are now pivoting to a narrative where the working class must suffer the "medicine" of an economic downturn to fix the inflation their own corporate greed helped fuel. They’re essentially saying that if they can't keep their profit margins sky-high through price hikes, they’d rather see the country plunged into a recession than see a meaningful tax on wealth or a real cap on the cost of living.
We are being told that the only way to "save" the economy is to destroy the livelihoods of the people who keep it running, while those at the top stay insulated in their boardrooms. We need to stop taking economic advice from the people whose primary goal is to protect the status quo at the expense of everyone else.
