California man who testified against Capitol riot companion is sentenced to home detention
A California man who organized a “group of fighters” to storm the U.S. Capitol — and later testified against one of his companions during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack — was sentenced on Friday to six months of home detention. Russell Taylor had a knife on his chest and was carrying a hatchet in his backpack when he helped other rioters overrun a police line outside the Capitol. Taylor, 42, of Ladera Ranch, California, pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to obstruct the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress for certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 electoral victory.

Why value needs to be the main focus for fast food restaurants
As inflationary pressures mount, consumer spending has shown signs of slowing, with fast-food and fast-casual dining chains feeling the pinch. Joining Market Domination to discuss the importance of value within the restaurant industry are Bernstein Senior Analyst for U.S. Restaurants Danilo Gargiulo and UBS Executive Director of Equity Research Dennis Geiger. Gargiulo acknowledges that attracting customers has become "incrementally harder," with "traffic slowing down across the entire industry." He emphasizes that chains need to "be mindful" of ensuring value is a core component of their offerings. However, for giants like McDonald's (MCD), which operate under a franchise model, the question of profitability for individual franchisees and aligning their interests arises. Geiger echoes the sentiment, noting "an industry slowdown" within the quick-service restaurant and fast-food sectors. He attributes this trend to a variety of factors, including price increases, the broader inflationary environment, and even tightening consumer budgets. Regardless of the root causes, Geiger asserts that "there's softness" in consumer demand, particularly among lower-income consumers.
