Since when do lawmakers go out of their way to *not* hear what those they disagree with have to say?

How is that representative democracy??

Maia Espinoza, Director of the Center for Latino Leadership, said WA State Sen. Rebecca Saldaña's exit happened as farmworkers in favor of a bill to allow overtime flexibility were about to speak.

"We can stop this from getting worse. We can stop more farms from going under and protect the workers that mean so much to us."

"It was 55 hours, then 48 and now 40 hours," he said. "The reality is we're going to be working 15 hours less than two years ago.

"We thought the law was going to benefit us, but it ended up doing the complete opposite," he said.

Hundreds of farmworkers from across the state drew the attention of lawmakers and media as they rallied at WA's Capitol yesterday, telling them how the new overtime law is causing them to lose income and valuable time with their families.

The obvious disconnect between what genuine farmworkers are saying in public and what professional activists are telling lawmakers should give anyone pause when listening to these activists’ organizations’ overheated, scorched-earth rhetoric.

@DillonHoncoop [Laughs in 2000+ sticker book I'm about to give my 5yr old]

[Dillon Honcoop @DillonHoncoop]

Adhesive sticker abuse is so deeply problematic that stickers are often banned at large public events.

Yet this pernicious source of widespread vandalism is nearly universally permitted in US homes with young children, and quantities have skyrocketed in recent years.

This “book” boasting nearly a quarter-thousand of the deceptively colorful yet incredibly virulent adhesive stickers is commonplace in the American home today.

Just 50 years ago this quantity of stickers would’ve been viewed by parents as extreme and outlandish.

Repost if you agree that #stickersareevil and it’s long past time to stop the sticker madness.
