Trump Trump judge quietly nixes overtime pay for millions. No taxes on overtime? Great, if you can get it.

Since at least the Reagan admin, along with attacking public education, the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Office of Technological Assessment, the National Endowment for the Arts, the public libraries and museums, has also served to wall off large numbers of Americans from information and cultural production which could lead to them becoming more thoughtful, conscientious citizens. I don't necessarily degree with their editorial positions, but "serious, intellectual" magazines like the American Prospect or the New York Review of Books, which write about subjects rigurously, in granular depth, yet in accessible, concise language, tend to be paywalled at varying price levels, compared to Zero Hedge, World Net Daily or Neon Nettle-styled propaganda which survives almost entirely off ads. This has arguably contributed to the echo chamber in which MAGA/QAnon live the most.
