It's only Responsible Foresight if it takes place in the Anglo region of Terra. Otherwise, it's just oriental inscrutability.

It's a rule the DoL issued in 2019 to "clarify" the prior FLSA regulations. I've also never heard of getting OT on benefits and I doubt there was any real confusion. Whether its good policy, I dunno. It's plausible to me that including non-cash compensation in overtime would disincentive benefits in a way that left the worker worse off, but, ya know, maybe healthcare and retirement shouldn't be contingent on one's employer.

Anyway, this is the Heritage Foundation trying to convert that rule to a law.

Hobbyist balloons are rather cheap. The smallest are a couple feet across and cost under $10. A typical weather balloon is around 20 feet in diameter and costs about $100.

Compare to the millions it costs to track an object, deploy fighter jets, pay for missiles to shoot one down and one has an impressive guerrilla operation.

so it's "cool" to be stupid

Perhaps it's escalated, but that's definitely not new.

They didn't "endorse" her, but they definitely played the lesser of two evils game.
