ditto - paid sick leave, paid carer's leave and paid time off are all part of working conditions down here. It is incomprehensible to me that the so called leader of the free world still struggles to pay a living wage, with fair conditions, and believes that medical treatment should be a luxury many can't afford
That same faux machismo is also at the root of the voter suppression initiatives.... We can't just LET people vote, by making it EASY for them! Voting should be hard! If you don't crawl through a mile of broken glass to get to the polls, why, you just don't care about America, and thus don't deserve to vote.
I also link that "you should have to suffer, otherwise it doesn't mean anything" bullshit to the old Puritan Protestant work ethic thing. All that mortification-of-the-flesh crap.
It will never stop being gross to me that so many people have convinced themselves that it's actually immoral to have the government help people be treated just a little bit more like human beings with dignity and value that isn't connected to their employment status or ability to BE PRODUCTIVE ($$$$$$).
You Know What Everyone Loves? Paid Leave!Yes, even Republicans.Well, for people who deserve it. People who have earned the right to time off. Rich people. Republicans. The rest of you slackers? Get back to work! All this technology that we bought has improved your productivity but you're still a bunch of slackers who would drag us down if we let you. Back to work!!
We don't need another guldanged federal law for paid leave because it is well known that most if not all U.S. employers benevolently provide paid leave voluntarily. Yes?

I remember... The "get through your day" medicine. Hopefully people are learning you shouldn't be trying to get through a workday while sick.
Meth?

One would hope *bosses* are learning - pretty sure the employees have known that for-freaking-ever.

You mean right now?
Somebody once made a map that left West Virginia entirely off.
No one here was the least bit surprised.
