re: Fun fact about Gavin's $20 minimum wage policy....

Newsom's staff has now walked it back and is trying to say it isn't treu that Panera is exempted, but the LA Times is having none of that and is all over Newsom's arse.

"On Thursday, amid rising outrage, Newsom’s office put out a statement calling the Bloomberg story “absurd” and suggesting Panera is not exempt from the law because it mixes the dough at an off-site location and only bakes and sells the bread at the restaurant.

OK, but we’re going to need some proof. Because the carve-out for bakeries has been reported numerous times using Panera as the example of a restaurant that would benefit from the exemption. The governor’s office has yet to explain publicly why the bakery exemption was even warranted. And Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), who carried the bill, said he had nothing to do devising the bread break."

Basically calling Newsom a liar.
