In January, it was going to jump to a minimum salary of 59k to be exempt.

They are literally citing the law. That’s better than a link because links change all the time, but the citation remains valid because it’s referring to a code section and not some ephemeral html.

Depending on what you’re looking for (law or regulations), the official sites are code.house.gov or the Electronic Code of Federal regulations (ecfr.gov).

Foreign adversaries already had Trump installed. Why would they need to go through extra work.

Hell - the new Director of Intelligence is a Russian asset.

A dumb man with a brick can still fuck up your teeth.

When an entire country shifts away from a party, it means the party is doing something to drive them away. Trump is the worst candidate in the history of the country, yet he’s won 2 elections. Why is that?

It’s because the Dems have abandoned the economic policies that formed the heart of their party and lost the working class vote they’ve relied upon since the Depression.

Yes. it got redder across the country this election.

Yes. They cost more than some cables. But we aren’t talking about wiring a stereo.

A new nuclear unit (4 billion-ish) costs about as much as 2,000 miles of transmission-grade cable (about 2 million per mile). Considering that there’s about 30 cables on a tower run, you’re looking at around 65 miles’ worth of cable for the cost of a nuclear unit.

And that’s just the cost of the wire. No towers, no conduit, no substations, no land acquisition (aerial easement and underground are very different things), no labor.

You really don’t understand how expensive underground cables are. You know those big, huge steel transmission towers that you see lined up, hundreds in a row?

Those towers costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars each. And the reason they’re used is because that’s way cheaper than underground.

Shit - just the cable is a couple million per mile per cable.

They haven’t been unanimous in the counties all those times.

They just regime changed us, so that’ll be tough.

He’s going to be in a position where he may actually be able to ban pasteurized milk, vaccines, and more.

This is the most dangerous political appointment in US history.

He’s about to have the authority to effectively ban vaccines.

I’m thinking they want to put discharging debt on the chopping block.

Maybe they voted against the incumbent so overwhelmingly because things are hard.

People vote based on their feelings.

When they were feeling pain, the message from the Dems was about how great the economy was, but the reality is that the stock market and GDP don’t speak to the quality of life of these people. To them the Dems saying how great things were was dismissive of their real concerns.

Meanwhile, Trump latched onto their fears and concerns. Yeah, his policies are idiotic, and millions will suffer and be in worse shape. But when they said they couldn’t pay the mortgage or buy groceries, he listened. The Democrats didn’t because they’ve abandoned the working class that should be their backbone.

I hear “Were-Chest-Sure” around here.

Well, as long as we fly out an antivaxxer in change of the only department that can ban existing vaccines, that should be fine.

They should harness the crazy for good. Make conspiracy theory-sounding stories, but make them factual and get people to take positive action.

“They created chemicals you can inject into the bloodstream that keeps them from getting the Measels.”

“The overlords in their golden towers want to tell you who you are and aren’t allowed to love.”

I have advanced degrees in climatology and geographic modeling, so I feel like I’m allowed to say that yes, anthropogenic climate change is a well-researched and understood process AND that you don’t know shit about what expertise other people in this thread have.

Just because your opinion is uneducated doesn’t mean mine is.

Because the team that headlines with this guy giving bjs to microphones and bragging about sexual assault is worried how things look.
