I feel like I spent to much time in the sun today...

Why is nobody talking about this?

It would also eliminate the need to pay time and a half overtime on the seventh consecutive day of work for people working at least 40 hours a week,

Am I missing something here. Do these people get paid overtime if they work 7 days in a row, period, as long as they work 40 hours a week? Or does this mean if you work over 40 hours and 7 days in a row, you do not get your overtime pay for the 7th day, even if that puts you over 40 hours?

While i understand many people dont work 7 days in a row, I'm unclear as to why eliminating overtime pay, in any capacity, isn't a bigger part of this story. I understand breaks are important and it's not right to take that away, for various reasons, but to eliminate any form of overtime pay is also a big WTF. Idk, this isn't a thing in my state

And then there's this:

The bill, if it becomes law, would require employers to pay workers while they are eating instead of giving them a break.

Are they supposed to eat their sandwich while working? The break is only as long as the employee is actively eating? If there's no break, how are they eating, at all?

Idk. Not like its unusual for me to be dense, but these things really make no sense to me.

That's what happened to me. Needed a printer in the middle of covid, ASAP. Nothing I researched was there, so I had a limited time to just pick a printer. Hmmm, this HP seems ok...

3 months later, there was no way I used all the ink. WTF. Go to buy more, and thats when I realized my mistake. !@#☆$%^&*

I've heard good things about the tank printers

I almost had a thought about one article I saw about how patriot front was seen being helped into the trailer by the local police force. Of course the article went on to conclude that PF must be FBI in disguise... They couldnt possibly be the same that burn crosses.

Theyve been riding around in uhauls for a few years now. They did arrest an uhaul full of patriot front members in Idaho a couple years back. But they all got charged with conspiracy to riot not lack of safety violations.

Guess the police have gotten so used to truck fulls of these idiots making appearances, they escort them out and just let em go...

Supposedly, if you deleted it during the blackouts... any sub that was down at the time of deletion, didn't delete comments.

They sell mini fryers for under $100. I was gifted one that I never use because one liter of oil, is one liter too many.

It's such a double standard for the large majority of these people. It's God's will that a baby should be born to suffer and die, but it's not God's will that they die of a heart attack, diabetes, or a simple infection.

If they really believed in God's will, they wouldn't be seeking medical care at all, for they were destined to suffer and die as well.

It's despicable, what they are imposing on these families. If you believe in miracles, put yourself in the hands of your God and wait for one yourself, asshats.

Good. Nowadays, theres a degree requirement for so many fields that didn't used to require one. The most competent workers I know, don't have degrees. All the new people with degrees have no clue what they're doing, yet they get paid more and are treated better. It's painful to watch the best performers get passed over, while the people with degrees are held on golden pedestals while they actively drive production into the ground. Especially, when their degree isn't even for the field they're presently employeed in.

While certain jobs should require degrees, there's a huge amount of positions where practical and hands on experience would (and should) trump a degree, any day.

It's still free for them. In their mind, that's all that counts.
