OT Justice -- Lipstick on the smile of work
This is becoming silly, having to actually thank our government so consistently. I supposed we owe the unrefined and backwards-looking conservatarians for the situation, but clearly we owe President Obama for having gotten to his happy place. The move to increase substantially the threshold for overtime pay is an amazing adjustment of decades of neglect. It is a remarkable quick fix and may be more important than any other initiative taken so far. Impressive executive CEO! You've earned your pay! Now let's get serious about developing an effective ClawBack Theory of Economic Justice.

Thank you SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) for getting a few things right. I'm glad that you seem to have accepted that there is some hope for justice and collective social change. I know people will freak over the Marriage Equality decision and waste more insurance time with Obamacare -- instead of just nationalizing our health system -- but combine those with the FHA ruling and the path is open for change. Hard to argue with that.
