get some roses for the boss' spouse and this might work
So, sick days with a forced savings account? Let me guess who gets that money if the worker changes jobs or is fired :thonk-cri:
smh i sterilized myself to contribute to white genocide and soros isnt giving me anything? :deeper-sadness:
I would be backing this up if the thing you're replying to wasn't basically HSA for national maternity leave lol
The people trying to have kids are getting screwed somewhat harder than the rest of us, you ever have to be on either side of a US WIC transaction?
Sorry, I don't know where I'm going with this, but in the US it's like the barest crumbs to convince people to have a kid. Are we going to start pretending that tax credits mean anything for most people all of a sudden?
I am so sick and goddamn tired of the only things america is ever willing to do for anybody is if you are willing to shoot some kids out
Kids are fucking expensive, time consuming, and a full-time job in their own right. Its no surprise that people with kids who feel constantly underwater all the time are highly receptive to "We're making your lives easier" in a way that some libertarian-pilled single dude who hates the government and is trained to openly recoil at the phrase "We're here to help" is not.
This isn't a one-way street. Parents are more politically engaged than DINKs and Singles. Parents are more anxious about their financial situation. Parents have a more acute need for relief. Parents carry a great deal more legal liability, too. So there's something of an onus on the state to aid a group of people living under a stricter legal code.
earned income tax credit worth thousands of dollars a year? kids. $300 a month checks right now? kids. paid leave? kids. fuck off.
Bucket O' Crabs Mentality.
Seriously - the fucking "help" committee? That's straight up democrat dystopia.
The HELP Committee - "We hear you. We see you. We are listening to you. We're gonna give you paid leave that you pay for. How neat is that!"
It's a congress thing. Health, Education, and Labor Protections, I think. But thinking about it, it probably is in fact also a Democrat thing, in that the GOP would never have created such a thing in the first place.
The GOP: Help you? Fuck off! Doing nothing owns the libs! Fuck you!
The Dems: "Help you? Of course we'll help you! First, fill out this form. Second, if you do not qualify - we are done and thanks for letting us help you! If you meet the following prerequisites - we'll auto-garnish your wages as part of us providing help to you!..." And the list goes on for 27 steps.
I'll say this for the GOP - at least they stab you in the front.
For me, means testing is one of the neatest things on this planet, that's why Rodney and me started the HELP Committee, cause we want everyone to know how neat means testing is instead of just me and Rodney knowing it!
I think that any dem who supports means testing should be put on a catapult and then be sent into the heart of the sun.
Seriously - what the fuck. It's a Hellworld version of that meme "We hear you like paid leave. So we're gonna force you to pay for your paid leave."
Tomorrow - I'm going to actually google to find some dem ghoul explaining "Well, actually - making people pay for their paid leave is good actually..."
I really want to know how the alchemic dem spin doctors can turn this utter fucking garbage into gold.
That already exists. It's called "suck my dick I'm taking the week off"
Half measures that are also corporate handouts is best case scenario for the United Statesian ruling party, so I'll take it
