Wilshire , 10 months ago to workreform in Slavery was abolished, so the rich are now trying to make economic oppression the equivalent of slavery.

There are some exemptions, mostly for salaried workers.

www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/…/17a-overtime

The FLSA requires that most employees in the United States be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay at not less than time and one-half the regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek.

However, Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for employees employed as bona fide executive, administrative, professional and outside sales employees. Section 13(a)(1) and Section 13(a)(17) also exempt certain computer employees. To qualify for exemption, employees generally must meet certain tests regarding their job duties and be paid on a salary basis at not less than $684* per week.

I can vouch for Visible. AT&T was too expensive. Mint (T-Mobile) didn’t have signal at my office. Red Pocket cut my service off for using too much unlimited data. Visible is cheap and unlimited. The signal is excellent too. I don’t need anything more.

Wilshire , 11 months ago to internetfuneral in where is the future I was promised?

I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.
