Good news everyone. Unfettered Captialism and Trickle Down Economics are going to get another go in the United States. It can't fail this time.

Take out the corporatist loopholes and it might actually have a shot.

Let people make what they earn with their two hands. End long term capital gains.

But frankly, I fear that in the end this will be low on our list of realized concerns.

Federal judge in Texas says "Ni!", grants preliminary injunction to the law that would have doubled the salary threshold for exempt status starting December 1st.

This should buy the business lobby just enough time for Republicans to take over and roll it all back. Crafty.

It was a terrible idea from the outset. Just a creation of more bureaucratic administrative inefficiencies that would destroy small businesses.

How was this a creation of new administrative inefficiencies? The existing rule set a floor of $23,600, Obama's EO raised that value to $47,476. Businesses have been working around this rule for a long, long time now, only with a different value set.

Someone's evidently never heard of "salaried exempt employees"...

Clearly I have as I referenced that the threshold is the only thing that's changed with regards to that law after Obama's EO, not anything else within that rule.

Clearly someone else has not heard of reading comprehension skills.

Clearly you believe that every single small business deals with employees both above and below the threshold.

Clearly you're set on abusing the use of the word clearly and adding suppositions onto other people's opinions.

People have salaried positions for jobs that were never intended to be salaried, and then set to work hours that would have qualified as overtime without any other compensation. If these small businesses are making use of the loophole because the annual compensation value was set without any regards to inflationary pressure, then they've essentially decided to abuse their employees' work conditions. Is there any manager in this nation who's working for a salary less than $24K per year? Outside of Mississippi and Alabama, how many full-time managers are working for less than $47K per year?

I've no interest in destroying small business, but I've also no interest in exploiting loopholes set by short-sighted legislators when creating compensation law.

Have you ever even owned a small business before? If so, then you know how much effort needs to be placed into keeping these things running. When it comes to the employees, it's a question that you ask during the interview process; this little thing called due diligence.

As for full-time managers under 47k, quite a gosh darn few, especially in the area I grew up. You'd be surprised to find that the cost of living is not as high as you'd think in many places around the country.

At least they actually try to get it right, instead of blatantly putting out fake news and then trying to point the finger when they're discredited.

Have you? Or is this from the Department of "I'm Hearing"? Also known as FMA. :)

A few weeks back, I mentioned a former employer who screwed $30-40k/yr employees out of a lot of OT with this loophole, until they got nervous and decided to start paying them OT, but only the service desk agents and datacenter guys. Thanks to this ruling, I guess they can just keep screwing the on-call junior engineers & developers they promoted from the desk.

Without saying as much, Amazon.com has setup a grocery store with the ability to counteract the rising costs of labor, especially getting ahead of expected increases to the minimum wage. Jeff Bezos's prototype store requires no cashiers, instead the store tracks you while you shop and automatically charges customers for their goods as they leave.

One thing that really inhibits online grocers from working out are the perishables: Fresh fruits/vegetables, dairy, and meats. And even then, I will still trust a farmer's market, local butcher, and local "creamery" (it's actually a convenience store, but anyone from Eastern NY/Western VT that knows Stewart's cannot deny that status). Could this be why mainstream outlets are trying to push the vegan diet? You still lose nutrients and taste when you freeze F/V, of course this is the same globalist regime that fluoridates water...
