Happy for those who benefit from this…sad for those who lost their jobs because of it.

Chains lay off workers and shave hours ahead of a state minimum-wage increase; California fast food workers will earn $20 an hour starting in April.

George Orwell (1903-1950) once wrote that "history stopped" in 1936.

Truth after that point was drowned out by state propaganda. It was a phenomenon that clearly terrified him.

"I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed.

I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened.

I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’.”

When I first read this quote, which comes from his 1943 essay “Looking back on the Spanish War,” I didn't have any idea what Orwell was talking about.

Today, I understand exactly what he was talking about.

And that terrifies me.

This is a pretty sad situation. The article does not speak to how man “Non public schools not seeking state approval” are actually performing well and doing what they are supposed to. After reading the article, one would think that all of these schools are a scam. Is that good reporting?
