If I'm not mistaken the new minimum wage is not yet fully implemented and small businesses got a temporary reprieve.
As to WaPo: the new release of Google News finally lets you ban the news sources you don't like. After removing WaPo, HuffPo, CNN and NY Times, my news feed is borderline useful again. Thank you, Google!
- s73ver 9y agoSo what's the difference now between getting your news from there or from Facebook? It sounds like Google News is going to be the same kind of echo chamber that other news sources become :( Please don't take this as a criticism of your chosen (or dischosen) news sources, as I'm sure I can find someone replying to this thread who is removing the sources you like as well.
- 0xbear 9y agoI don't use Facebook, so I wouldn't know. I've come to the conclusion that the function of the media has shifted over time from reporting news to just peddling narratives, all while also showing me irrelevant ads. So I shut off those news sources for which narrative peddling is the primary function. I would shut off Fox, but Google seems to not show anything from them even if they're not in block list. My news feed now mostly consists of science/tech and local news. I like it that way.
