What is that, the used car salesman’s definition of “guarantee,” meaning “I’m going to promise this to you, but you’ll never actually get it?”

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Four million people, and more next year, and then every three years after that - definitely nothing.

🤦

It literally is nothing because it’s blocked from being implemented as stated in your own damn quote. Even if it were implemented, it’s still nothing as it only applies to a little over 1% of the country while the other 98% is struggling too.

There you go with another strawman… 🙄

I call BS on millions of people getting overtime pay. The income limit is so ridiculously low that nobody would be eligible. You can fuck right off with your “because it’s not perfect” false dichotomy. It’s not that it’s not perfect, it’s that it’s quite literally nothing.

How about you learn about context and read the rest of what I wrote? My complaint with both of these actions is that they’re essentially meaningless for the majority of people and they don’t go far enough. I refer to them as table scraps and virtue signaling because they only give the appearance of taking action without actually fixing anything or improving the lives of nearly anyone. The politicians get to parade around acting like they’re working for our benefit when they’re actually doing very little to help.

Are you not capable of responding without fabricating a complete strawman argument first?

I never said I did? I said that it’s virtue signaling and performative at best rather than something that’s actually impactful on the average person’s life.

Democrats love to talk about how much they care for the working class, but their actual actions rarely reflect that.

If you’re working 60 hours a week like a lot of the salaried people I work with, that brings your hourly pay down to $11.80. I just can’t imagine why someone would take a job like that when there are so many hourly entry level jobs that pay more than that.

People file their cases in this district specifically because it has a bunch of conservative friendly judges.

No, the problem is there are too many liberals in the party and not enough leftists. Liberals love them some anti-worker pro-corporate welfare and other right-wing policies that only benefit the rich.

Imagine being a salaried employee and only earning $16.80 per hour, assuming 40 hours a week. I wonder what type of work this even covers as that’s slightly above minimum wage here, and it requires you to work all those extra hours for free.

I mean this would only have applied to salaried employees earning $20/hr or less which I can’t even imagine what type of field that covers since most hourly jobs earn more than that these days.

This is akin to the “pardoning marijuana possession convictions” thing where it didn’t apply to a single person in federal custody and only benefitted 3,000 people (with past convictions) in the entire nation.

This is basically virtue signaling and/or table scraps for us peasants.

Ah, maybe the police were stopping them to pick up their coworkers from out of the van so that they could start their shift.

I’m sure there’s some bullshit law that covers this, considering they get away with literal murder all the time. Police policy is typically secret so there’s no way for anyone to review a departments training and policy and as long as some high ranking government official comes out and says everything was done according to policy, they get away scott free.

My friends uncle got deported as an American citizen a long time ago in San Diego. They arrested him after he realized he had forgotten his wallet and was running home to get it before the next bus came. Obviously, any brown guy running down the street must be an illegal immigrant to these people.

By selling his Dignity™ brand scented ball powder.

And yet that cop would still have numerous supporters pouring out of the woodwork claiming that “the babies should have complied.”

I’m generalizing. But the larger issue is who the heck is reviewing these “policies” to determine if they’re legal (or smart)?

Police union lawyers and police department administration.

I watched a video months ago of an internal deposition of an officer who reported his chief for choking a man that was handcuffed which all happened in front of him and a guy he was training.

They managed to twist it into “choking” wasn’t one of the items listed as “use of force” in their policies, therefore choking a handcuffed suspect couldn’t be considered using force and this officer was quite literally crazy for suggesting otherwise. The rest of the interview was a not so subtle threat that the officer needed to fall in line if he wanted to continue his career in law enforcement.

How the hell does this work employment wise? Are employees working in Kansas or Missouri and which state collects taxes? Probably not as big of an issue there, but in my state we have things like income tax while our neighbors don’t, which would make situations like this incredibly confusing.

If this is true it’s likely location dependent. Here the fire department will hose the scene down since they’re there anyways and towing companies are responsible for cleaning up debris.
