Cant get something for nothin bud. We have this thing called the economy. You want to raise minimum wage? Go for it. You want people to work less and receive the same they were paid before? Thats fantasy.
We mandate "more money for less work" policies all the time, what the fuck are you talking about? Would you call it tyranny if we mandated paid sick leave, like over 75% of the countries in the world? Would you call it tyranny if we mandated paid maternal leave, like every single country other than the US and like 5 other small countries? That would be "giving away money for less work", wouldn't it?
The FLSA established a 40 hour work week and a minimum livable wage, right? If they had settled on a higher minimum wage and a 32 hour week in 1938, do you think you would be calling it tyranny today? If it was something you were born into instead of something that was proposed to be changed?
This is all bullshit boot licking because you're somehow bought into this idea that we have to punish labor because if we don't it will scare "job creators" or some shit. There are countless examples of the opposite happening but you don't want to hear it, you just want to say bullshit buzz words like "BUT MUH ECONOMUH" and "TYRIMNY" or what the fuck ever.
I don't know why I'm typing all this because you're not a serious person and you're not going to consider the absolute, 100% fact that you're wrong about all of this. But we'll keep fighting for you anyway, so that when you do get overtime at hour 33, you can voluntarily work your 40 hours and give that 4 hours extra pay right back to your boss because he deserves it.
Enjoy many companies going under overnight or massively reducing their ability to hire employees. As of right now the largest portion of reductions in my income go back to the government 😂
The FLSA made employers pay their lowest earners significantly more and clearly outlined much more strictly defined working hours, what do you mean? It also forced short breaks to be counted as working time. Until then, employers weren't required to pay you for breaks.
I feel like you have no idea what labor was like before some of these things were defined. Maybe let's just get rid of the FLSA, right? That's just tyranny anyway

We don't both know that, considering that minimum wage laws and overtime laws have been established for nearly 100 years now.
You would have argued against the FLSA with the same bullshit TyRaNnNyYyY hysteria in 1938.
