"Congress should clarify that the “regular rate” for overtime pay is based on the salary paid rather than all benefits provided. This would enable employers to offer additional benefits to employees without fear that those benefits would dramatically increase overtime pay"

I don't understand this one. I've never heard of anyone making OT on benefits.

Ctrl+F any common policy issue or buzzword, and get ready for a wild ride! The whole document is a fever dream.

This basically reads like what was carried out in Ukraine post-2014.

Perhaps Ukraine might eventually be viewed the same way Chile under Pinochet is viewed as a test prior to rolling out neoliberalism.

Only 6 mentions of totalitarian -- are they even trying?

The promise of socialism—Communism, Marxism, progressivism, Fascism, whatever name it chooses—is simple: Government control of the economy can ensure equal outcomes for all people. The problem is that it has never done so. There is no such thing as “the government.” There are just people who work for the government and wield its power and who—at almost every opportunity—wield it to serve themselves first and everyone else a distant second. This is not a failing of one nation or socialist party, but inherent in human nature.

The Government is a social construct! Its not real, but people do work there!

As with all global struggles with Communist and other tyrannical regimes, the issue should never be with the Chinese people but with the Communist dictator- ship that oppresses them and threatens the well-being of nations across the globe. That said, the nature of Chinese power today is the product of history, ideology, and the institutions that have governed China during the course of five millennia, inherited by the present Chinese leaders from the preceding generations of the CCP. In short, the PRC challenge is rooted in China’s strategic culture and not just the Marxism–Leninism of the CCP, meaning that internal culture and civil society will never deliver a more normative nation. The PRC’s aggressive behavior can only be curbed through external pressure

"I dont have an issue with the people of China, just their government!"

Classic.
