Why Is Civil War So Evasive About the Nature of Its Civil War?: Alex Garland’s studious “objectivity” isn’t enough.

slate.com/culture/2024/04/civil-war-movie-2024-kirsten-dunst-a24-ending.html

Quick Glance: A24's 'Civil War' movie portrays a divided America

Alex Garland’s 'Civil War' takes place in a dystopian near-future version of a divided U.S.

A group of journalists travels through empty cities and deserted roads to Washington to overthrow a dictatorial president.

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: 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.

Quick Glance: Tara VanDerveer: A Retrospective on a Successful Career

During an emotional press conference, VanDerveer thanked her parents, coaches, players, and administrators, reflecting on her career, which she described as magical.

Although Stanford has a longtime assistant ready to take over and an advisory position lined up for VanDerveer, the legendary coach still struggled with the decision to step away from the only career she'd known.

VanDerveer stated that she felt ready for retirement, despite never thinking she would, and expressed her love for a job that never felt burdensome to her.
