Yeah, make everyone work 80 hours a week. Roll back all hard won worker benefits. Open the windows! Children have the right to work long hours too.

Trump's EPA pick has no interest in the environment. Shades of Ronald Reagan and that low life he picked for the job.

"Trump's EPA pick has no interest in the environment."

Jared,

Cut Trump some slack. His new hires will do as they are told, with probably few friends and obligations in the field chosen. That they might pull the rug out from under him is only a distant possibility. You want him to hire someone from within the system? Someone who has friends? Obligations? ...agendas? He did that last term.

My comment was specifically related to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Umm, I don’t think he’s hiring children to work at DOGE. He’s looking for, in their words, “high IQ” people to identify waste in federal government spending and I assume they will be well compensated. Speaking for myself, I worked 80+ hours a week regularly as a salaried employee over the course of 15 years. I don’t think it’s that uncommon.

I’m not sure how Black slaves became part of the discussion, but ok. Have a nice day.

Yes, that's much harder than the Black slaves ever worked. But if you enjoy it, it's not "work" per se, perhaps. Of course it's imbalanced nonetheless.....
