the number of people saying this in this thread is what feels inorganic to me. what created this era where people are eager to come to the defense of incumbents?

what's wrong is wrong; this isn't good policy. someone reported on it, people are finding out and they don't like it.

because people are responding to the sudden surge of this one story, so keep seeing exactly the same near identical story from multiple different sources on multiple different sites, so have have already gotten tired of the same BS everywhere.

As far as I can make out this piece of (still BS) legislation was present for independent bakeries, and that happens to also cover outlets like Panera. But people who own multiple franchises have lots of money so make large political donations, and they own a bunch of businesses so a pile of legislation in notoriously anti-worker US laws eventually benefit them.

This was my point: if you want to, you will find a donor that benefits from a law that someone they donated to has signed.

Yeah, top comment is also sus. Are there HN upvoting/downvoting farms?
