In 2004, a documentary movie was published (Supersize Me) where the filmmaker Morgan Spurlock eat nothing but mcdonalds food for 30 days. Like probably many, I saw that movie back then and liked it. I had read before that there were some doubts about some of the things described in the movie. What I didn't know until now was that very likely, some key parts of that movie are false and some of the health effects he described likely due to alcohol consumption 🧵

The California minimum wage has steadily increased since 2017, often rising by a dollar per year. Today, it’s $16 an hour.
But on Monday, it will jump to $20 an hour for most fast-food workers in California, propelling them to the top of what minimum-wage earners make anywhere in the country.
