California's minimum-wage hike for fast-food workers has been a clear success, Rogé Karma writes, and yet it has been portrayed as a failure. That is a testament to how quickly economic misinformation spreads—and how hard it is to combat once it does:

God I've missed his press conferences where he just lies to everyone's face with no pushback from the assembled reporters, really thrilled to have another four years of them, it's just kick-you-in-the-nuts fantastic.
Reacting to the potential TikTok ban, Trump credits the platform with him "winning the youth vote by 34 points."

According to post-election polls, Kamala Harris won 18-29 votes by 12 points.

Remember, corporations steal more through wage theft than every thief in America put together.
Disney has agreed to settle California's largest wage theft lawsuit, paying out $233 million to 50,000 workers who are owned back pay.

The workers are owned this money because the corporate giant failed to pay them the legally mandated $15/hr minimum wage.
