Agree

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

While this answer opposes government regulation of overtime pay, which aligns with libertarian principles, the reasoning is focused on the current economic situation rather than the broader philosophical opposition to government intervention. Libertarians would likely agree with the sentiment, but their primary reason for opposing such regulations would be based on their belief in individual freedom and free market capitalism.
