Boy, that looks familiar.

The Palazzo Braschi (Rome) draped with a big banner saying SI over and over again, with a bust of Mussolini hanging in front of it. This was in 1934, when the Italy was voting in their general election, and the election was an up or down vote on the Fascist slate. Much like 2024 in the USA. We know how it worked out for Italy, but we're *special* and it certainly won't work out that way for us!

Worker's below a pay threshold must be paid overtime even if they're said to be salaried. Biden proposed raising the threshold (it's low) to protect more workers. Trump's Labor Department quickly dropped the proposal. That favored employers. He's no "workers' President."
