The suit alleged Panera did not properly notify customers about the caffeine content of the drinks, which come in Blood Orange, Strawberry Lemon Mint, and Mango Yuzu Citrus flavors and contain between 245 and 260 mg of caffeine per 20-oz. cup (and between 368 and 390 mg in the 30-oz. cup). This is just below the Federal Drug Administration’s recommended daily limit of 400 mg of caffeine.
That's a crazy amount of caffeine per serving; a standard cup (8oz) of drip coffee is only ~170mg.

"The Californian Ideology" is a 1995 essay by English media theorists Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron of the University of Westminster. Barbrook describes it as a "critique of dotcom neoliberalism".[1] In the essay, Barbrook and Cameron argue that the rise of networking technologies in Silicon Valley in the 1990s was linked to American neoliberalism and a paradoxical hybridization of beliefs from the political left and right in the form of hopeful technological determinism.
During the 1990s, members of the entrepreneurial class in the information technology industry in Silicon Valley vocally promoted an ideology that combined the ideas of Marshall McLuhan with elements of radical individualism, libertarianism, and neoliberal economics, using publications like Wired magazine to promulgate their ideas. This ideology mixed New Left and New Right beliefs together based on their shared interest in anti-statism, the counterculture of the 1960s, and techno-utopianism.[6]
Proponents believed that in a post-industrial, post-capitalist, knowledge-based economy, the exploitation of information and knowledge would drive growth and wealth creation while diminishing the older power structures of the state in favor of connected individuals in virtual communities.[7]
Critics contend that the Californian Ideology has strengthened the power of corporations over the individual and has increased social stratification, and remains distinctly Americentric. Barbrook argues that members of the digerati who adhere to the Californian Ideology, embrace a form of reactionary modernism. According to Barbrook, "American neo-liberalism seems to have successfully achieved the contradictory aims of reactionary modernism: economic progress and social immobility. Because the long-term goal of liberating everyone will never be reached, the short-term rule of the digerati can last forever."
It's pretty obvious to the non-libs I would say, but I think it's not being said enough generally how these are interrelated issues. I think there's a tendency amongst the libs to feel uneasy about drawing out this relationship out of deference to Palestinians and Black Americans (if they are neither of these). It's an unfounded concern IMO, but I think it's related to the competition for attention it would imply. It's really an ideal topic for creating solidarity between these groups in many ways, but americans are so alienated from each other that the impulse that it is a distraction from the other cause might not result in the solidarity in practice as expected.
That's just my sense of the situation at the moment. There's a lot of folks that get it, they just are not libs. Maybe PSL needs to make this part of their election messaging.
