    The Trump administration is also rolling back a Biden-era rule that banned bosses from paying subminimum wages to disabled employees.

    This discriminatory practice has been on the wane due to state-level bans in 15 states. But in the absence of a federal ban, nearly 40,000 employees—most of whom have intellectual disabilities—still received less than the federal minimum wage as of 2024.

    Never fails, they always do the shittiest thing they can.

        That’s been incredibly successful for china, maybe it really is 4d chess to compete with their manufacturing. Genius! Instead of having regulations that promote American business, just deregulate until we have no worker rights, have no standards, and then we can churn out junk from sweatshops! Course, cus it’s murica! It won’t be priced cheap, so extra profits! Hell yeah! GOP, you e done it again! /S
