A... rifle. It's just a rifle. Assault is a term used for sensationalism purposes. Gun control advocacy group decided to use the term, "assault weapons". This term was first introduced into U.S. language (regarding firearms) in the mid 80s.

    That ice cream shop was established decades ago... many people in the area enjoyed going there. It had nothing to do with poor business management. Stop making excuses for taxing business owners exponentially.

    lol poor business management. good grief.

    We just witnessed businesses killed in California from the minimum wage increase. And if not killed, job losses:

    Last September, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed California Assembly Bill 1287 into law, which includes a $20 per hour minimum wage for fast-food workers and a fast-food regulatory council which has the authority to raise the industry’s minimum wage annually. But between last fall and January, California fast-food restaurants cut about 9,500 jobs, representing a 1.3 percent change from September 2023.

    On April 1, a Fosters Freeze location in Lemoore, California — about three hours north of Los Angeles — shut down. That happened to be the same day the new minimum wage, which is now $20 an hour rather than $4, kicked in for fast food workers. Some employees thought that the closure was an April Fool's joke.Apr 13, 2024

    Bro.. AOC???? And I'm not stating this as a fact, but if Bernie became president and hiked up taxes for the wealthy, the wealthy will more than likely move their business to other nations. We need more jobs here and Bernie would cause job losses.

    lol don't worry about my deen, son. If I see bs, just like any other user here on lemmy, I'm going to call it out. At the very least question it to get more context and go from there.

    I'm not worried, as a Muslim, what Trump thinks about Muslims. However, Trump is the only running candidate that will fix the chit show that Biden has given us. And don't worry, I'm not putting the full blame on Biden.. we had previous presidents that have neglected its people and done more harm to the U.S. than terrorists have.
