101-year-old Bay Area dairy farm closes after lawsuit puts it $300K in debt
The Schellville dairy farm closed after racking up nearly $300,000 in debt from an environmental lawsuit, Mulas said. Attorney Andrew Packard filed the lawsuit against Mulas Dairy on behalf of the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance alleging water quality violations in early 2023. For the past three years, the environmental group has filed between four and six water quality lawsuits each year, reported the Press Democrat
“We were using funds on attorney fees versus funds to pay the operating bills,” Mulas told the Press Democrat. “This industry can’t support both. I don’t care who you are, it’s tough to withstand ongoing battles.”
Many dairies in the area are struggling due to inflation and rising labor, feed and fuel costs, even without expensive legal battles, reported the Press Democrat. Sonoma County once had 300 dairies but now has only 50.
In recent years, North Bay farms have seen a rise in litigation from environmental activists alleging they are polluting nearby watersheds. An upcoming Sonoma County ballot measure, the first of its kind in the country, could complicate things even further for these farms. The measure, likely to hit ballots in November, would ban “factory farms,” or ranches with 700 or more dairy cattle, and establish other restrictions.
But the polited beaches are open. Meanwhile down in Southern California where all of the lawyers live:

Customer Shocked to Find 4% Wellness Charge on Receipt | ‘Not Sure Why We Are Paying'
In recent years, a noticeable trend has emerged within the restaurant industry i.e. the addition of surcharges on bills to cover employees' health benefits. The reasons for these extra charges are complicated and show how the restaurant business is changing and trying to be more socially responsible. Many discussions and debates are circulating over TikTok as the situation has gotten out of hand. A TikTok user Cary Tong posted on his handle (@tactical.realtor) showcasing the bill he and his wife got after dining at Funke, a fancy restaurant in Beverly Hills. The video went viral with 1.8 million views and 55K likes. Cary started the video with a bill in his hand saying, "I took my wife out to dinner tonight for Mother’s Day, and at the end of the night, when we got our bill, I noticed a supplemental wellness charge for 4 percent."
Video: Joe Biden Continues To Lie About The Economy – The Breadwinner A week earlier, in response to a question concerning how the continued inflation issue was destroying the middle class, the president said to CNN’s Erin Burnett, “It was nine percent when I came to office, nine percent.” For whatever reason, Biden appears to have resorted to repeating this falsehood, some of which I will discuss. To start with the fact-checking, it is completely untrue that inflation was at 9% when Biden became president. On the other hand, it was only 1.4%. Even before the epidemic, it was well below the typical two percent Federal Reserve range. Only until the current president signed the American Rescue Plan, a two-trillion-dollar scam that injected even more deficit-financed money into an already overheated economy, did inflation start to soar. It was not until the summer of 2022—more than a year and a half after Biden became office—that inflation rose to nine percent. I am sure if we give the president enough time, he will come up with something even more egregious than this one. https://www.thebreadwinner.co/2024/05/16/video-joe-biden-continues-to-lie-about-the-economy/
