US federal law only requires 1.5x hourly wage for hours >40. It's up to each establishment whether they want to pay extra based on shift, and typically weird hours are just part of being a restaurant worker.
Federal law is min. $7.25/hour, and here in NC only $2.13/hour for tipped employees.
Noon is equally between sun rise and sun set. That was the only definition prior to time keeping machines.
It's been the reference for timekeeping since, literally, the beginning of time.

With a small scope (or 10x binoculars on a tripod in a dark sky) at the same time, you can also see Uranus half way between Mercury and Venus, and Neptune a third of the distance between Jupiter and Saturn. I strongly recommend finding Uranus with a small scope--it is brilliantly cyan-colored and round. Better than Saturn, I think.
Not technically visible, but extremely rare for all seven to be in the same quadrant at the same time with the Sun down.
And the Moon is about 1-1/2 hours behind the Sun if you want to get all nine objects.
(Pluto, is also up about 1-1/2 hours in front of Saturn, but just about impossible to find without a big scope, tracking, GOTO, super dark sky, etc.)
Don't be intimidated trying to find these. 10x binoculars with large 50mm lenses are fine, but a 4-1/2" or greater Newtonian better, and anything else larger and/or with tracking plenty. Plan ahead, find a dark sky, print a star map in reverse (background in white), maybe get a 650 nm red flash light, take a few friends and snacks, and have fun. Go out at 4:30am and find everything in an hour.
I'm not even sure what killed it, but search is dead. Google used to be the best way to recall my old Slashdot posts. Now I can barely find a hand full from the last couple years. All the big search engines like that. The long tail of obscure corners of forgotten spider-web infested dank goth basement cheeto beer breath sites that used to make the Internet interesting has been un-linked from search. Dead.
You might as well just search Wiki, reddit, and a few other things now. AFAIK you can't keyword search the Wayback Machine. We'd need something like that to make search what it was until just a couple years ago.
99% of all hits returned from search now are just hot ad-infested garbage that wants you to page through dozens of auto-playing videos arbitrated by 30 or more 3rd party JavaScripts loading 50 megs of potentially malware laden garbage, in the vain hope of getting the 142 bytes of text that would supply you the answer.
You don't know how to use Google correctly anymore, then. You're thinking its 2005. Google is still as powerful as ever. https://www.google.com/search?... Just search by dates, add a before:2017-01-01 after:2006-03-03 It is just now more useful to more people with the main results that nerds like us on Slashdot try to think we should get.

This. The problem is is that the entire US election and political system are set up to promote the financial success of elected officials.
Most of the entire US political system, from local councils to the federal president, has become a way for elected officials to to get favors and wealth, from expenses related to speaking engagements to flat out graft. It starts with the funding required to run and continues through the pay-back process that elected officials offer those that funded their run. The feedback loop continues to grow until half the country (one political party or the other) props up the candidate.
A three-party solution would solve everything, but the Republican and Democratic parties will stop at nothing to avoid that possibility.
Another solution would be to eliminate deductions and benefits for elected officials. The usual clamor is that this gives lobbiests an advantage over the political system... but I've yet to see a politician not accept benefits from the current system, so I hardly see how that is a valid argument.
Essentially, honest people can't get elected. We need to solve that.
