There are documentaries showing Chinese prisoners being forced to peel garlic to the point they lose fingernails. The US levied heavy tariffs due to the dumping (fine with slave labor though I guess), then the Chinese used other countries as a middle man to get around them. I doubt it's a national security risk, but it's absolutely fucked up.

Don't buy peeled garlic.

There's also the small little detail about him being responsible, either directly or indirectly, for the deaths of 3-4 million people.

Really sick of my taxes going to these dumb hick states. Texans want to be independent? Ok cool then cut off all federal funding for a year and let's see how that goes for them. Oh yeah how's that independent power grid working out? Oh it killed a bunch of people then you made no changes at all? Clearly the answer is to stop teaching about climate change. Fucking idiots.

The change doesn't outlaw tips. So now they're getting better base pay, plus tips, and the owner is still paying the absolute minimum instead of slave wages. If ANY company can't afford minimum wage they shouldn't be in business. And honestly fuck you for being more concerned about the business than actual people.
