Agree

No

From a consumerist perspective, not requiring businesses to pay salaried employees time-and-a-half for overtime could help keep operational costs down, potentially leading to lower prices for consumers and higher economic growth. This view assumes that lower business expenses can translate to lower prices and more spending, driving the consumer economy. However, the score is not higher because undermining worker compensation could reduce overall consumer spending power.

Slightly agree

No, our economy and businesses cannot afford a decrease in worker productivity right now

While consumerism emphasizes economic growth and efficiency, suggesting that businesses cannot afford a decrease in worker productivity aligns partially with this ideology. It recognizes the importance of maintaining high levels of productivity for economic health. However, it also indirectly acknowledges the potential negative impact on workers, which consumerism typically does not prioritize, hence the low positive score.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the growth and health of a consumer economy, often emphasizing the importance of keeping costs low for businesses to foster innovation and competition. Mandating time-and-a-half for overtime could be seen as an unnecessary financial burden on businesses, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers. However, the score is not lower because consumerism also relies on consumers having disposable income to spend, which higher wages could support.
