As someone who relies on caregivers and actually pays attention, this whole thing is honestly messed up. The Trump administration wants to get rid of over 60 worker protections, including basic stuff like fair pay and safety rules for people who take care of others, work on farms, or have dangerous jobs. That means home health aides, who literally help people like me live day to day, could lose overtime pay and minimum wage. Like, how is that okay? It feels like they are trying to save money by making life harder for the people doing the hardest jobs, especially women, immigrants, and disabled folks. These rules were put in place because people got hurt or died without them. Getting rid of them is not about fixing anything, It is about pretending our lives do not matter.
And I don't know about you but I think people like Donna deserve more than minimum wage, not less.
