New Hampshire Republicans Propose Bill To Eliminate Workers' Lunch Breaks

sarahlee310:

New Hampshire’s GOP legislature has come up with all manner of absurd bills recently, including a proposal making public school curriculum optional, another to prevent police from protecting domestic abuse victims, and even a measure mandating that new laws be based on the Magna Carta. Some of the Granite State’s GOP lawmakers have even proposed doing away with the law that requires employers to give their workers time off for lunch, under the rationale that all employers will simply grant lunch breaks out of the goodness of their hearts

I have such a hard time believing anything the GOP does now is serious. Like, no, really, how is this real? This is such moustache-twirling, tying-women-to-the-railroad-tracks, bullshit cartoon villainy that the people proposing it must have at least have some idea that it’s them they are the robber barons.

Although the fact that they continually try (and succeed) to get away with it is worrisome too.
