"Interesting development. As you may or may not know there's a long-standing practice in Black American communities of selling "plates"which are just that: plates of prepared foodfrom one's home. Obviously without a restaurant license or anything so it's technically illegal though rarely enforced. It predates the internet but with the rise of Facebook Marketplace etc. it's become more visible to outsiders. I'm sure I don't need to walk you through the criticisms and defenses of the practice but to mention that it's also arguably a form of laundering SNAP funds. Anyway it looks like California"

(For good reason They should) So they either dont drive or they dont drink. And in reality that usually means not drinking Americans take a very practical approach to drunk driving that is sort of at odds with the zero tolerance messaging. You can for example go out for drinks with your team after work anywhere in America and if you seem OK to drive then nobody is going to care that youre over Americans take a very practical approach to drunk"
