Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.

      That is actually not even a joke. I remember this from a few years ago and it has been so stuck on my mind ever since.

        Yep. I’m basically paraphrasing family.

        My aunt is pretty psyched because she’s convinced that Trump is gonna take away Medicare and SS from the younger generations. “But I’ll be ok because he won’t take it from the boomers.” That’s an actual quote. She’s also deeply religious, if you couldn’t guess.

            You figured her out. Lookup “Flaming Fucking Cunt” and you’ll find Linda.

    Media is owned by owners of companies who are allergic to paying wages beyond bare minimum to not qualify as slavery per se.

    Around 4 million people affected.

    Being salaried sucks when they require long hours and pay is low. You can get a promotion and your pay per hour will plummet.

    “(Biden’s) rule, proposed last year, would raise the existing income threshold for many workers to qualify for extra pay for hours beyond the 40-hour week under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Right now, that threshold is only around $35,000 per year. The rule would raise it to around $58,000.”
