If restaurants want workers to return, they need to have a plan for safety, including how to handle business needs when workers get sick. It can't be 'business as usual' where we're expected to drink some Theraflu and tough out the shift. 4/

This is Michael Glantz, a prominent agent at CAA who represents CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, calmly eating his salad as the Washington Hilton ballroom was on lockdown. Honestly, I aspire to this level of "unbothered" .

@RealVinnieJames @IhoPwaitress74 @PressSec You really have to love when people ascend to their pulpit to preach about why you're wrong, and then block you so you can't reply.

Bitch.

@RealVinnieJames @IhoPwaitress74 @PressSec As part of winning the bid to develop this property, Trump promised to employ the architect who wanted to preserve the building’s historic restoration...and then refused to do so. So no, he wasn't picked because of his financial acumen or exquisite taste.

@barrycunningham Not a Democrat, nor a fan of Warren, but the private equity industry deserves much more attention by both parties. For sure, the companies that they leverage are in distress, but PE does nothing to help them. Quite the opposite. This is a good read:

@JimWilder333 @MJTruthUltra It was never OK. The intern was fired and (rightly) spent some time in a psych ward. Byron and Kristi are still married, so her husband is not just a cuckold, but (allegedly) a crossdresser...lol!!!

I went to a steakhouse in Miami, paid the bill, and they automatically added a 20% tip.

When the waiter brought the check, he said: “That tip goes to the whole establishment—if you want to leave something for me, it’s extra.”

I didn’t add anything else—20% is already too much. He gave me a dirty look, like I was robbing him.

This tipping culture is out of control.

@SecKennedy You've snorted coke off toilet seats, but are now lecturing us about sugar in our coffee? Bruh, no.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but start living. The days are flying by, and all you do is work, pay bills, and stress. Enjoy what you can… walks, sunsets, music, laughter. Joy doesn't have to be expensive. You deserve it.

@BuzzPatterson I have a picture of myself with Bill Clinton, and I can assure you that he doesn't know me. However, he has never denied knowing Ghislaine or Jeffrey, just that he was unaware of their shenanigans.

@PressSec Man, we've come a long way from keeping politics out of sports since Kap took the knee and Benito bowl! Funny how that works.

@LFWS64 @mbsdude @acnewsitics Non-citizens are generally authorized to work and required to pay into SS. Why shouldn't they be able to collect if they are eligible?

[Culinary Underbelly @Toque_Head]

@anterhetoric @LFWS64 @docpjo @acnewsitics Another knucklehead who doesn't know how their pwn government works. SSNs also serve as proof of work authorization, and non-citizens can be eligible to collect SS benefits if they were required to pay into the system.

@LFWS64 @docpjo @acnewsitics The SS trust fund was already compromised when it had to borrow against its reserves to pay off its debts.

This issue will become catastrophic when non-citizens are prohibited from being able to work and pay into the system.

The real luxury is having slow mornings. No alarms. No rushing to work. No need to hurry your coffee. You wake up naturally after 8 hours of sleep, pray, shower, eat, and then you’re ready to start your day. That’s wealth to me.

[Culinary Underbelly @Toque_Head]

@LFWS64 @acnewsitics Too bad, so sad. We get SSNs as proof of work authorization so that, contrary to your ignorant perception of immigrants, we can work, pay taxes, and eventually become U.S. citizens. How are you foaming at the mouth while so ignorant about your own country's immigration system?

[Culinary Underbelly @Toque_Head]

@RepLuna How is your dumbass representing the people, yet you are ignorant about basic government services. Non-citizens (esp permanent residents) cannot vote, but they are eligible to receive a SSN in order to pay taxes and show proof of work authorization.

Let's just say that an enterprise that relies on this much undocumented labor to survive is doomed from the get-go. Throw in an inconvenient location, rapid employee turnover, and graveyard ambience and you get this...

Three years after its debut, the ambitious Seaport food hall in the old Fulton Street Fish Market is done https://t.co/B4jSmtPnR4

In 2023, The Atlantic published the first of many articles that documented the physical abuse and uncompensated labor that propped up one of the "best" restaurants in the world. These are the stories-in their words-of the workers who made this possible.

Fuck that. Make the owners lose money by paying their employees to stand around and serve no one.
