More like since Reagan told them that black folks get welfare too but I see your point.

Same, but earlier, for a lot of other stuff like public parks, roads, mass transportation, all that poo poo started seeing massive falloffs of support from the usual suspects after brown v board and the CRA. Turns out a whole lot of folks be racist af when it comes to so much as the neighborhood dog park.

right now there are a lot of sectors that have a lot of salaried positions and get free overtime from their workers by forcing them to work more than 40h weeks with no recompense (it's salaried after all!!!!!!)

an executive order goes into effect dec 1 that mandates these positions get overtime for hours worked above 40, so a lot of people are suddenly going to find themselves in a position of either: 1) getting overtime pay, gently caress yeah time and a half, or 2) a guaranteed 40h work week, gently caress yeah I go home at 5pm every day and still make the same money

this is something trump can undo with an executive order and is deffo going to be a jan 20 kind of thing

It's about a weird environmental catastrophe. Sort of.

Also Ambient by Jack Womack is ok but literally has President Trump and his son Barron.

hot take: Caprica was better than bsg

it definitely was

if it had been its own show instead of a bsg-prequel it would've been better received probably

instead the frat boys who tuned into bsg for the explosions were understandably miffed when instead of more space battles they got a thoughtful, slow paced meditation on monotheism and class differences in a fake utopia

Mr. Trump hasn’t commented on the overtime rule, but many Republican lawmakers have criticized it as excessive, suggesting that it may come under scrutiny next year.

like with basically everything about a trump presidency, it's not set in stone but it's about what the GOP congress wants (and of course they want to gently caress the poor) and what trump will sign off on even if he's not screaming about it from twitter

Trump is kind of just a continuation on a theme with recent GOP presidents when you think about it

Reagan- Actor-turned-conservative-huckster figurehead

H.W. Bush- OK this doesn't really fit I'll admit it GET OFF MY BACK NOBODY REMEMBERS HIM LIKE REAGAN

Dubya- Fake Cowboy Figurehead

Trump- Empty-Slate/Skull-Fake-Businessman Figurehead who may or may not know it

There's SOME kind of running theme here (other than them all being tremendous cocksuckers I mean)

I work for a Japanese owned company and the culture there is for everyone to work overtime. Many people come in a half hour early and will stay until six or seven several nights a week. They are being very accommodating about the changes actually, but I am one of the affected 40k salaried positions and I was really looking forward to clocking out promptly at five very day, and no more mandatory early meetings :(
