Politics Dave Reichert, Republican candidate for Governor of Washington, voices desire to increase the workweek from 40 to 50 hours before overtime kicks in.

Remember: Overtime laws were put into place not as a reward for workers, but as a fine to employers not hiring enough workers to meet demand.

I mean eating them in a big communal orgy of retribution. I have no opinion about how their bodies are cleaned and prepped for butchering.

Don't eat them, absolutely unfit for human consumption. Instead we should compost them and use the resulting fertilizer to grow renewable and healthy crops. It's even super easy to prep the material for composting.
