Waffle House reportedly deducts $3 from workers’ pay for each on-shift meal, even if they don't eat it.

The policy could cost all Waffle House workers ~$30M per year.

When I say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what I mean.

Trump pledged revenge and retribution should he regain office. He says he will be a dictator on “day one.” He claims presidents should have "complete and total" immunity. He calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out.”
