1. Just 46% of workers @tacobell are vaccinated

The situation reflects a decision, made by many corporations, to put profits ahead of the health of their employees and customers

@tacobell 2. A new study by @Shift_HKS shows that companies that provide support for their employees to get vaccinated — like PTO or on-site vaccinations — have much higher vaccination rates among workers

Companies that fail to do so end up like @tacobell

popular.info/p/why-more-tha…
3. @Starbucks, for example, provides two hours of PTO to get vaccinated. Its employees have a 79% vaccination rate.

The Shift Project concluded that "employer supports can help move the needle on vaccination."

@Starbucks 4. Notably, execs at companies like @TacoBell understand that to stay safe, the people around them should be vaccinated.

@TacoBell employees working at CORPORATE HQ must be vaccinated

The mandate doesn't apply to workers interacting w/customers

popular.info/p/why-more-tha…
5. It's not just @tacobell that has low vaccination rates.

Workers at @SUBWAY (43%), @IHOP (47%), @WaffleHouse (50%), @BurgerKing (51%), @dominos (51%), @ChickfilA (53%), and @wendys (54%)

popular.info/p/why-more-tha…
6. Many unvaccinated frontline workers also don't "trust" the vaccine. These workers are unlikely to be vaccinated unless it's mandated. But fast-food chains, through the National Restaurant Association, are fighting Biden's vaccine mandate

1. In Florida, Gov. @RonDeSantisFL is pushing legislation that would REQUIRE teachers to lie about U.S. history

Teachers that tell the truth about the nation's founding could be SUED by parents

This is not an exaggeration

Follow along if interested

popular.info/p/desantis-pro…
@RonDeSantisFL 2. DeSantis announced the Stop WOKE Act. The legislation codifies a state regulation issued last June banning Critical Race Theory.

But that regulation goes FAR beyond banning CRT and proscribes how teachers can talk about the nation's founding

popular.info/p/desantis-pro…
3. The regulation prohibits teachers from defining "American history as something other than the creation of a new nation based largely on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence."

THIS IS A FALSE DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN HISTORY

It's clear this is where Manchin would end up for awhile now. The give away was that he kept on making demands, then Democrats would meet his demands, and then he would create new demands.

That's how you kill legislation.
Manchin had to pretend to be engaging in good faith to get the infrastructure bill through the House

He was able to convince Biden to vouch for him with the progressive caucus

Once he got the infrastructure deal (which was supported by corporate lobbyists) he was done
The fact that Manchin went on FOX NEWS to stab Biden in the back tells you pretty much everything you need to know.

1. Six @amazon workers died after a powerful tornado ripped through an Amazon delivery station

They were working through warnings of severe weather

Bezos' initial response was to post a smiling of photo with 6 wealthy people he was sending into space

popular.info/p/amazons-mora…
@amazon 2. The six Amazon workers would have probably never been able to afford a space flight. But they were people with families that loved them and dreams for the future.

One victim was a single mom with a one-year-old son.

popular.info/p/amazons-mora…
3. The sequence of events illustrates a larger problem with Amazon's business culture, which subordinates worker safety to ruthless efficiency.

The top priority is profit and wealth creation for investors — even when it puts workers in harm's way.

1. Media coverage of the PowerPoint detailing a plan to overthrow democracy and install Trump for a second term characterized it as "extreme," and "wild," & cast doubt whether its recommendations were "seriously.. considered"

This is revisionist history

popular.info/p/powerpoint-t…
2. Regardless of whether the PowerPoint itself played a central role in Trump's thinking, the plot to overthrow democracy it describes tracks closely with Trump's PUBLIC STATEMENTS

Trump didn't lack the WILL, he lacked a WAY

popular.info/p/powerpoint-t…
3. For example the key slide in the PowerPoint recommends Trump "Declare A National Security Emergency"

Trump did not make such a declaration but, in his speech on January 6, he characterized accepting Biden's victory as a threat to national security

1. The "Dinner With Trump" scam is back!

The @NRSC is running Facebook ads promoting a dinner with Trump.

But if you read the official rules, you actually get dinner with Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, and Rick Scott

snopes.com/news/2021/12/1…
@NRSC 2. During the 2020 presidential campaign Trump promoted many contests to win a meal with Trump and there is no evidence anyone actually ever got to eat with Trump

popular.info/p/the-trump-ca…
@NRSC 3. My reporting about the contests for meals with Trump during the campaign got some attention so the Trump campaign leaked "proof" of 3 people who "won"

NONE OF THEM SHARED A MEAL WITH TRUMP

Only one of them had a meal at all and Trump wasn't there!

1. @KelloggsUS claims the company still reflects the values of founder W.K. Kellogg but the way the company treats its employees today is the polar opposite

W.K. Kellogg said: "I will invest my money in people"

@KelloggsUS views its people as disposable

popular.info/p/snap-crackle…
@KelloggsUS 2. W.K. Kellogg offered free daycare and Kindergarten for the children of working mothers

All employees families received full medical and dental benefits

He surrounded his cereal plant with a lush 10-acre garden for his employees' use

popular.info/p/snap-crackle…
3. As the Great Depression gripped the country in 1930 W.K. Kellogg reduced shifts from 8-hrs to 6-hrs so that he could hire people who had been laid off

He also increased hourly pay so that workers would still bring home roughly the same amount of money
