“Watershed moment for the restaurant industry.” As the pandemic began to take hold of the nation in early 2020, Popular Information reported that restaurant group Darden Restaurants, the parent company of Olive Garden, was not offering employees paid sick leave unless required by law.
You are the one paid subscription I hold, because of the importance of your investigative reporting. As a retired preschool teacher on a minuscule pension, I don’t have disposable income, but that’s how important I find your reporting to be.
Tariffs are import taxes, and we’re going to be the ones to pay for it with higher prices on almost everything we buy – from clothes to shoes to fridges to water heaters to laptops to cellphones to oil to cars to homes. (Companies from Walgreens to Ford to Amazon have admitted costs are going up.) We’ll pay more at the pump and more at the grocery store. A new study from the Yale Budget Lab suggested the average American will pay $2300 more a year for the exact same goods thanks to Trump.
Our trade partners are retaliating, meaning fewer people will be buying American-made products, putting American jobs at risk - with thousands already out of work. Supply chains have been scrambled, the stock market is tanking and consumer confidence is collapsing. Previous tariff hikes have hurt growth and haven’t brought manufacturing jobs home as promised, and there’s no reason to think this will be any different. Even Trump himself has confessed Americans will suffer from his import tax. We may be headed into a self-inflicted recession - solely because of Trump. And to top it all off, Trump’s cycle of ugly threats and chickening out at the last minute is making it difficult for businesses, consumers and employees to plan for their future.
Finally, we MUST call out Speaker Mike Johnson on his constant lying about the Big Ugly Bill. He said that it is only right that people be employed in order to get Medicaid benefits and Health Insurance. Trump’s tariffs and the recession he is causing will cause millions of Americans to LOSE their jobs. Like Liar Fraud Trump, Speaker Johnson is a Liar and a Fraud.
Congratulations Judd - terrific work - So glad you are able to do this important work. Without Popular Information the media world would be a dismal place. I hope your subscription list at least doubles over the next few years so more people can see you continue to bring truth to power.
