Trump’s Nazi Speech at Mt Rushmore

“This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty, must be stopped, and it will be stopped very quickly.”

He added darkly: “In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted and punished.”

Gesturing to the overwhelmingly white crowd, he said: “Not going to happen to us.”

Trump added: “Make no mistake, this leftwing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American revolution.”

What year is it, America??

A California bill that would require companies like Amazon to guarantee restroom breaks is moving through the state’s legislature.

The bill, AB-3056, was introduced earlier this year and passed the state’s house in June and is currently being reviewed by the state Senate. The bill aims to ensure that workers are not penalized for spending time using the restroom or washing their hands.

The bill would apply to warehouse workers of large retailers across California like Amazon, Target and Walmart. California – the country’s most populous state — has more warehouses than any other state in the U.S., according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The bill would also require these employers to pay employees overtime if they have to work beyond the time they were scheduled to complete a quota set by the company.


meanwhile in the ‘socialist’ European Union ????????????????????????…

Working time and rest

Breaks
If your employees work more than 6 hours a day, you must ensure that they are given a break, the duration of which is specified in the collective agreements or by national law….’
