So true, Vicky! And welcome back! Good to see you posting here. Boeing has announced that three of its top executives, including CEO Dave Calhoun, are stepping down amidst continued turmoil over the safety of its passenger jets. The aerospace giant, which has been at the center of an escalating scandal since a serious incident involving a Boeing 737 Max plane, made the announcement on Monday. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Alaska flight 1282, a Boeing 737-9 MAX bound for Ontario, California, departed Portland, Oregon, just after 5 pm Pacific time earlier this year when a deactivated emergency door used as a regular cabin window blew out at 16,000 feet. Six crew members and 171 passengers were aboard the jet. No-one was injured during the incident, but the firm’s safety record has come under renewed scrutiny. The president of Mexico, in an interview, has confirmed what essentially appears to be his attempt to blackmail the United States into paying billions of dollars, or else the “flow of migrants will continue.” Obrador, in recent weeks, has demanded that the U.S. give $20 billion a year to Latin American nations, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo and give legal status in America to the millions of Mexicans who already have entered illegally. Fox reported that the original demands, which have been described by critics “blackmail,” came in January when he made the demands regarding billions in cash, amnesty and more. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/mexican-president-demands-u-s-pay-up-flow/ I am sure if Trump was President, this guy would change his tune. California restaurants are laying off workers ahead of a new $20-per-hour minimum wage law taking effect in the fast food industry in April, according to the Wall Street Journal. As Breitbart News has reported, California is set to raise the minimum wage by 25 percent to $20 per hour, effective April 1, under a law, AB 1228, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in 2023. California restaurants, particularly pizza joints, have outlined plans to cut hundreds of jobs in the months leading up to the April 1 wage mandate, according to state records. Other operators said they have halted hiring or are scaling back workers’ hours. Though economists have debated whether raising the minimum wage hurts or helps workers, one area where the negative effects are often most keenly felt is in the restaurant industry, where margins are typically small. A wage hike by Seattle to $15 per hour was found in 2017 to have cost the city’s average low-skilled worker $1,500 per year after employers cut working hours, according to a study sponsored by the city. Many of the hardest-hit businesses by municipal hikes in minimum wage laws across the country have been in the restaurant industry.
