Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is such a weird exemption. It's so narrow that these places will have to raise their wages by default anyway.
Nothing will stop their employees from just leaving to take a job at McDonald's for $20/hr instead of the $15 or whatever panera wants to pay.
except all other fast food places are going to start making bread and selling it there...
subway already makes "bread"...
macdowell's will say their microwaved cinnamon buns count as making bread or some bullshit
"Bread" is a legally defined term.
I'd need to see paragraphs C and D of that section, but based on that description alone, cinnamon buns could certainly be counted as bread as long as paragraph C doesn't forbid a couple common ingredients like sugar, butter, and of course cinnamon.
I guess you'd also need to know how they're defining "produces," do they have to make the bread from scratch on-location, or if they got shipments of premade dough from somewhere to bake in-store would that count as producing bread.
I'm almost certain that the answers to those questions can be found with about 5 minutes of googling, I just honestly don't care enough to Google it myself.
Besides flour, yeast, water, milk, and egg, the rest of the ingredients are food additives. The CFR section in my comment above says that bread is produced by baking it.
Subway selling bread is against their policy. The two halves aren't allowed to touch.
Seriously tho, didn't one country determine that Subway sandwiches are served on pastry, not bread? I believe the legal definition (in that country) had to do with sugar content and Subway's was too high.
Yes that was Ireland
