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.

A federal judge in Texas is blocking a rule enacted by President Joe Biden earlier this year that provides overtime pay protection for roughly four million American workers.

You've convinced me! Four million people, and more next year, and then every three years after that - definitely nothing. What else should I be complaining about?

🤦

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.

  • Biden does thing to guarantee overtime to more people than it's already guaranteed to
  • Trump-appointed federal judge blocks it
  • Goddamned Biden!

???

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.
