The first paragraph of The Military Programme of the Proletarian Revolution: II. Full of bangers like

If the present war rouses among the reactionary Christian socialists, among the whimpering petty bourgeoisie, only horror and fright, only aversion to all use of arms, to bloodshed, death, etc., then we must say: Capitalist society is and has always been horror without end.

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.
