Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Why are people posting Daily Wire like anything they say matters?

Obviously not reading the article, but the reasoning is it's only for locations on state owned property at rest stops.

Because Sunday is a big travel day and it makes zero sense to let a company that's not open have that contract with the state.

Any Chikfila on land they own can close whenever they want. No on is trying to change that.

What's the point of posting articles from propaganda sites when the title is misinformation and no one in their right mind would click a link to Daily Wire?

Edit:

If anyone wants a decent source, here's where I heard of it a few days ago:

Assemblymember Tony Simone, a Democrat whose district includes Chelsea, the theater district, and business-heavy midtown Manhattan, has proposed legislation that would require food-service companies at rest areas and transportation facilities along the New York State Thruway — a nearly 500 miles long stretch of road that connects New York City to Buffalo — to be open seven days a week.

Yup, this is just another story for the right-wing outrage mill. Gotta have their 15 minutes of hate to keep everyone focused on hating the liberals.

I understand why Daily Wire wrote it, I just don't understand why people would post it on social media, or even why it's an acceptable source for a sub that's supposed to be about serious discussions of politics.

It's like posting Weekly World News to a news sub.

Nothing on that site is based on reality. At most it's a tiny nugget of fact completely misrepresented. Like a picture of a log floating in a lake is still a real picture. The issue is if someone claims it proves the Loch Ness monster is real.

That's the level of journalism on Daily Wire.

This seems like one of those cases where it ends up in the Supreme Court, and Republicans use it as a rallying cry. It’s not that big of a deal, but they will make it a big deal.

This isn't state wide and only along the New York State Thruway. Airports have long denied contracts to Chick-fil-A because they're not open on Sundays.

Any contracts entered into for the operation of food services or food concessions at public transportation facilities owned or operated by the authority shall require that such services be provided every day of the week

If they want to remain closed on Sundays, they can do so at non-public transportation facilities.
