Bull****.


Nope.

Yep. You need to read the article, Jim. Star Kist's processing plants
that are affected are in AMERICAN SAMOA, not "Pelosi's San Francisco
district".

And, it's republican heresay at the moment anyway.


Oh I did read the article. Did you?

Star Kist (and it's parent company), as well as Chicken of the Sea would
profit from not having to pay the new minimum wage to the 5,000 Samoan
workers.

I guess it is just a coincidence that Star Kist's parent company is based in
San Francisco and Chicken of the Sea is based in California.

Can you provide any proof that the article is wrong?
Can you prove that any of the article is correct?

Oh, hell, Jim, try to comprehend what you've read. I said that the
ORIGINAL POST was bull****. How so, you ask? Here is the original
statement:

The major tuna company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco
district, StarKist (Del Monte) is being exempted from the minimum-wage
increase that Democrats approved this week.

So, do tell, how is StarKist (DelMonte) exempt from paying minimum
wage? Is every single employee of theirs in American Samoa????
