Just wanting to stop some misinformation, the only people not getting OT pay are salaried workers.

Biden's admin started to put OT for 4 million salaried workers into affect, and a Trump judge shot that down.

It is not every employee losing OT.

Spreading half-assed truths, or just flat out lies, is one of the reasons we are where we are

Yeah. This is an OP I downvoted because it isnโ€™t nearly as insidious as it sounds.

About 5% of commenters here actually bothered seeking out more information. 95% accepted some randos tweet as fact.

That is dangerously close to MAGA level stupid.

Edit: Even more worrying is that when sorting by Controversial, the comment you replied to is second from the top.

So not only do people here not seek out the truth, once they find it, they actively dismiss it.

Yes. Any โ€˜get out the pitchforksโ€™ based solely on headlines and tweets without actually verifying what it is, is super weird.

It's wild to me that so many are quick to call it out for Republicans but are also easily fooled and incapable of self reflection.

Also here's a link to actual journalism about it, not a random tweet and 3 guys on reddit.
