At least Trump is a successful businessman and knows business, finance, and economics. However, this is not about Trump, but AOC, but nice try at deflection.

Well if you are at work at 2am and are hourly then you would get paid.

If Trump can Tweet his nonsense to his followers then it is fair game for AOC.

it is a fascination with idiocy, not just the fact that she is a first term congresswoman.


Maxine Waters and Hank Johnson have been in office for some time, yet provide nearly the same degree of entertainment.


It is the shock value- that such idiots could be elected to office- that continues to fascinate and attract attention. One is surprised that someone who should be educated could be so stupid.

You guys need to get into the real world.

so then you agree that in the spring, if you are working 3rd shift on that Saturday night, that your normal 8 hr shift becomes a 7 hr shift, and you lose an hour of pay..

Again, another poster correctly comparing Trump and AOC.

First of all this is obviously an idiotic statement. But more importantly who is going to open a business in the system she and Bernie and the like want to create? You would need an entire government compliance department to open a mom and pop bakery or barber shop in her system. Business ownership is highly tied to size of middle class. Owning your means of production is the best, quickest way for upward income mobility. Bureaucracy is a self inflicted wound.

Absolutely. That is the life of a non-union hourly employee.

It is imperative to check your hours worked. If you work long enough(40 hrs.) the difference is time and a half vs. straight time.

For the part time hourly it is, will you be there long enough to lose the hour.

This. If you are working a night shift then you are likely in a field that has 3 shifts, or at least 2.

Of course. You are paid for what you work.

So, assuming that you're with the same company for an entire year (to see both the clocks wind back and forth an hour), I'd agree with you. But many are only seasonal and won't be with their companies when the clocks are moved forward. Thus, for hourly employees, the issue should be dealt with as it occurs.

As for those people who are working less at the time that clocks are moved forward, they, too, should only be paid for hours worked. Its the only fair way to go about things, IMO.
