    No. You elected this shit on your own. Play stupid games - win stupid prizes.

      That’s debatable considering rump has twice now stated on camera that the election was rigged in his favor.

      That said, enjoy your popcorn while you can. This train is coming off the rails and may very well effect you personally in time.

        Got clips? I’m assuming one is the bit about Elon being “good” with vote counting computers and that’s how they won Pennsylvania in a landslide, but I’m not familiar with the other time he he stated on camera that the election was rigged in his favor.

      WE didn’t elect them.

      The south elected them, out of the same vile hate they’ve nurtured for 160 years.

      When I was young they kept to their shit holes, but they’ve since leaked out and spread everywhere, and now the country is in ruins.

  Keep protesting American products please. It actually will help. If trump is losing the US money, he will be reigned in.

    It might rein him in on tariffs and attempted land theft but it is unlikely to continue past that. Though I do believe that the boycott of American made may be longer lasting than those threats and as an American I actually appreciate those boycotts. Those in power need to understand what isolationism actually means.

    Seconded. Do not buy our products. Build your militaries, sad to say. Save your holidays for better nations.

  This is what happens when your government loves business more than people. Do not feed the corporations. They will do this to you too.

    Just a quick question: do people above the age of 17 not get guaranteed meal breaks?

    source

    • Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      No. Or any other kind of break. Also benefits are determined by part time vs full time, which itself is generally determined be working either less than 40 hours a week, or 40+. In other words part time is generally 39.99999 hours a week.

        You wouldn’t believe labour rights here in Germany. And yet, the work gets done.

        As a Californian, I also find this shocking. What the fuck, Florida?

        I thought there was a federal requirement for shifts over a certain length to get a break of a certain minimum length? It’s not much, it’s not remotely good, but I’m pretty sure it exists.

      California does. Guaranteed 10 min break every two hours, and guaranteed 30 min unpaid lunch if you work over 6 hours, mandatory overtime after 10 hours, and a second 30 min meal break if working over 12 hours.

      source

      • Deello@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Guaranteed 10 min break every two hours

        PAID 10 minute breaks, as in you don’t have to clock out. Also gonna add that you get extra breaks if working outdoors during extreme heat, 95+ iirc.

      Lmao. Nope. And anything you are supposed to get is covered under the At Will employment laws. Which is a fancy way of saying your boss can walk in and say you’re fired at any time, give no reason, and tell the state it was for cause so they shouldn’t pay out your Unemployment Insurance.

    • Deello@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Looking at the other comments I guess it depends on the state. I’m in my 30s and have had a few friends over the years tell me that they sued, and won, their employers for missing breaks. Needless to say all of my managers/bosses have gone out of their way to make sure I get my breaks to avoid that happening. I have even heard of situations where people just randomly get a check in the mail because somebody else sued the company and after an audit it was discovered that the company was not allowing for proper breaks. This forced all past employees to get compensated for it. California in case you’re wondering.

      No, not in Florida. Other states do however.
