But that's not at all what you said:



You implied that any job that doesn't pay overtime is shitty.

No. I did not imply that. You injected that into what I said. He was bitching about how his job didn't pay overtime as he is salaried...

and I replied:

So it is his fault you took a shitty job that doesn't pay overtime.... OK

I am also leaning towards the belief that Most Salaried jobs just suck you into working 60 and 70 hour weeks without paying for it. This information was gleaned from comments here and personal experiences with others who do have salaried positions. I would never take a salaried job unless it was the only job available.

Did the President get the rule changed about the minimum salary required for your employer to avoid paying you overtime?

I don't know why he's sticking with this 4 percent growth thing. People who don't understand economics won't get what 4% growth means to them and anyone who does understand economics would laugh at his idea for being hopelessly stupid.

You're a fool for even suggesting this. People study economics but no respectable economist one would say they understand it; the scale is too large and no legitimate economist one would claim this.

Oh jesus. Of course nobody understands economics completely, but we do understand economics to a point.

Well within that point is the fact that 4% growth for the US is a fantasy. Jeb is an idiot for suggesting it.
