Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Rescuing Stranded Sea Otter Pups with Surrogate Moms in California Aquarium

Annually, approximately 10 to 15 stranded sea otter pups are discovered along the California coastline, often a result of storms causing separation between mother and offspring.

Through a collaboration between the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the pups are connected with surrogate sea otter mothers to impart crucial skills and facilitate their return to the wilderness.

Program manager Megan Smylie details how the adult surrogate mother will impart behaviors to the pups that humans are incapable of teaching, such as foraging, prey manipulation, and shell opening.

Having already saved eight stranded pups, the two aquariums aspire for additional organizations to join the initiative in boosting the wild population and safeguarding the ecosystem of the Californian coast.

trib.al/l589Q3m

Quick Glance: Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison for firebombing California Planned Parenthood clinic

A former marine was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Justice Department on Monday after using a Molotov cocktail to attack a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California. Chance Brannon, along with his co-defendant Tibet Ergul, plotted attacks on the clinic and a potential target on the power grid in 'furtherance of a race war.'

Brannon, 24, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to being involved in a conspiracy, malicious destruction of property by fire and explosives, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Planned Parenthood clinic attacks were abandoned due to law enforcement actions. Brannon was motivated by neo-Nazi ideology and planned further violent attacks. The National Abortion Federation reported a sharp increase in violence at abortion clinics in 2022.

Brannon and Ergul also had plans to conduct an attack using a remote-detonated device during an LGBTQ+ pride event at Dodger Stadium, but were arrested two days prior. Before the arrest, Brannon even planned to rob Jewish individuals living in the Hollywood Hills.

The increased minimum wages worsen the existing challenges faced by independent restaurants in California.

Quick Glance: California's New Minimum Wage Law Impacting Various Sectors

California's recent law enforcing a $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers has set off a series of reactions.

There are already cascading effects reaching from custodians to hotel housekeepers and also impacting higher-earning employees in the fast-food industry.

Approximately 5 million low-wage workers in the state may also receive salary increases, affecting around 3% of the entire US workforce.

The potential repercussions could have a significant impact on a national labor cost index and potentially influence the Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rate cuts.

Royal expert and author Tom Quinn suggests that an invitation to the retreat could present a 'difficult' situation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

King Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan by 'hinting' at a visit to Balmoral this summer to improve relationships within the Royal family.

Quick Glance: Major Burger King California Franchisee Introduces Order Kiosks Due to $20 Wage Impact

Harsh Ghai stated in an early April interview that 25% of his restaurants already have kiosks, with the remaining 75% set to be equipped within the next 30 to 60 days.

The new minimum wage for limited-service restaurant chains with at least 60 nationwide locations took effect on April 1, standing 25% higher than California's general minimum wage of $16 per hour.

Ghai plans to offset the higher labor costs by implementing measures such as reducing work hours, introducing kiosks, and halting the development of new restaurants.

Fast-food chains are accelerating the deployment of order kiosks in US locations to cut labor costs, with the introduction becoming more pressing due to California's new $20 minimum wage.

Critics expressed concerns over Garland's vague approach to the film's politics, amidst online debates surrounding it.

A24 heavily focuses on a marketing campaign that encourages viewers to 'pledge' allegiance and describe their type of American to promote the film.

Quick Glance: Comparison: CEO Salaries vs. Minimum Wage in California

Given the new $20 minimum wage for California's fast-food workers, it's important to examine the salaries of their CEOs.

The CEOs of Chipotle and McDonald's Corp. earn substantial amounts while their employees struggle. It is suggested that they reduce their bonuses to pay their workers a living wage instead of passing costs to customers or threatening staff cuts.

Supermarkets are increasing prices, making it challenging for even high earners to afford healthy food. The notion that supermarkets are the primary source for affordable, healthy food is diminishing.

The new $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers is deemed reasonable as their earnings circulate back into the economy to provide food, shelter, and healthcare for many in need.

Quick Glance: Majority of Seattle-area Renters Report Significant Rent Increases in Past 12 Months

While rents in the Seattle area and nationally surged in the early pandemic years, the rental market seems to have calmed since 2023, providing some relief to local tenants.

However, recent survey data from the US Census Bureau suggests that the majority of renters in the Seattle area may not agree with these reports.

Out of the estimated 658,000 individuals who experienced rent hikes, approximately 113,000 had a relatively minor increase of under $100. A significantly larger group - around 306,000 - saw their rent rise between $100 and $249 per month.

Established in 2020 as a response to the pandemic, the initiative aimed to inform authorities and policymakers about the pandemic's effects on communities nationwide and offer data to support recovery post-pandemic.

Oakland International Airport is considering adding 'San Francisco' to its name to attract more passengers, but faces opposition from neighbors across the Bay.

The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.

Officially known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, the airport lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024, raising concerns about geographical confusion among travelers.

The potential name-change has alarmed San Francisco officials, who fear it would cause confusion among travelers and infringe on the city's trademark rights.
