The Ring of Fire: MAGA Judge Kills Overtime Pay for 4 Million Workers

Nov 20, 2024 | A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump has blocked an overtime pay rule from the Biden Administration that would have guaranteed overtime pay for more than 4 million salaried workers across the country – and millions more would have been eligible next year. The rule has been stalled as employers were trying to prevent having to pay workers for their time, and now millions of people will be forced to work longer hours without any overtime. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this ruling.


The world had better STOP looking toward America for LEADERSHIP. That country is not a LEADER in anything much of any IMPORTANCE. The country has grown too big for its boots, or as an American might say, too big for its britches. The country pretends to be a Christian nation, but in actual fact, it is nothing of the sort. The nation is BACKWARD. “BIGLY”! We in Europe should stop looking Westward to the USA for inspiration; instead, we should start looking Eastward. We Europeans could teach Americans a whole lot. Let Americans suck up all that Trump has to offer them. Let them enjoy the bumpy ride ahead of them. They need to fasten their seatbelts. They will get no sympathy for their suffering from me; and they should get none from you, either. They will deserve all they will have to suffer through. The USA can no longer show the world the way forward. Good night, America! It's been nice knowing you. — © Mark Alexander
