Election Thread

Nice strawman-burning. I'm sorry that I feel that drunk drivers should be inconvenieced by breathaliser auto-locks after they got caught. I'm once again, sorry that I want to infringe on the freedom of employers to require 70 hour work weeks from their unskilled cattle, and that I want to enforce that which should really be in various company policies in the first place.

After all, the folks in those 19th century sweatshops worked 14 hours a day (Oh, yes, that would be almost everyone), and died at the age of 35 because they wanted to.

It's shocking that all the sissies these days actually expect 40 hour work weeks, and relatively safe working conditions, even for unskilled labourers. I know, it's disguisting.

If you read the article of MADD's intent, they mean to have devices installed in ALL cars. Not just offenders.

And... I'm not worried about your regulations infringing on employers (your mind set), I'm pointing out you are infringing on employees who would like to get paid for 70 hour weeks. And... as we both know (with a 3.2% unemployment rate) employees are free to better their condition and vote with their feet to get a better job if they are unhappy with the employer from hell (which you seem to think is very common). And, for your information, I'm an employer who has a salaried employee who worked 365 hours in August against my advice because they were dedicated to accomplishing a task. I cannot pay that person for the hours worked. I did the best I could to reward them for their dedication, but its hardly fair. That person shrugged it off and said, I'm not married and I've got no children so it was no big deal. By the end of our project I'd bet this person works at least 1000 hours of overtime.
