Chipotle, McDonald’s, Starbucks, Jack in the Box and Shake Shack are planning to raise menu prices. Fast-food franchisees are laying off employees or cutting their hours. Smaller independent business owners, meanwhile, worry their workers will bolt unless they also increase wages. Rule makers, rule breakers and the laws that oughta be. Deadly/Not Deadly. We’re going to go ahead and call the Ohtani gambling saga an LA Law topic because we make the rules. Rule makers, rule breakers and the laws that oughta be. As a Gen X’er, I like to imagine what life would be like if we had therapy in our teen years rather than angst ridden grunge music. Maybe, we would see more hope in the world.
