Motherhood in #EndStageCapitalism
United Shithole Banana Republic Oligarchy of America
with ZERO federally mandated #PaidSickLeave or #PaidFamilyMedicalLeave
damn well should!
(saved to my phone on May 24, 2022)
Federally mandated
#PaidFamilyMedicalLeave & #PaidSickLeave
should damn well be House & Senate Democrats' *NUMBER ONE PRIORITY*, should they regain power next year or in '28
because this #EndStageCapitalism shit has not worked for *DECADES*!
1) Has RFK Jr. read this study?
2) Will he, as a result, strongly recommend that Congress, Senate, & #ChickenTacoKrasnov4547
mandate at least 6 months federal #PaidFamilyMedicalLeave to encourage new parents to breastfeed their babies???
Inquiring minds want to know!

DEMOCRATS are the party of FAMILY VALUES!
Democrats have again stopped Minnesota MAGA from repealing Paid Family and Medical Leave!

Why in the *FUCK* did Biden administration not provide federally mandated #PaidSickLeave
#PaidFamilyMedicalLeave?!
Is it possible those neoliberal oligarchs quite simply did not give a flying fuck about the #LongCovid secondary pandemic right in front of their goddamn privileged faces?!

USA does in part because of the financial drain attributed to lost productivity *when people are sick*
or transmit their illness to "teammates" upon *reporting to work sick*
under #SickCareForProfit, no federally mandated #PaidSickLeave or #PaidFamilyMedicalLeave!

Paid Family Medical Leave isn't just good for Nevada workers, it's good for businesses. It improves productivity, decreases retraining costs, and it boosts employee morale.
#NVLeg #PaidFamilyMedicalLeave
However, the response of the USA #CorporateDuopoly ruling class was to toss the precautionary principle out the window,
& aggressively promote "back to work" campaigns in the interests of Wall Street & #EndStageCapitalism.
NO known talk of federal #PaidSickLeave or #PaidFamilyMedicalLeave!

Ken Klippenstein on Twitter: "If only there was something they could do" Left panel: November 8, 2021 USA Today article headline: "Gloomy landscape for Democrats in (2022) midterms as Biden's approval drops to 38% in USA TODAY/Suffolk poll" Right panel: "Political Polls" on Twitter: Lowering Medicare prescription drug prices Support 88% Oppose 12% Medicare coverage for dental, eye, and hearing Support 84% Oppose 16% Paid family and medical leave Support 73% Oppose 27% Universal pre-kindergarten education for children Support 67% Oppose 33%
TRUTH!
I guess the bottom three items in R panel of photo were entirely too #Socialist for Biden to even mention for 5 seconds or more to Congress and/or Senate
(even #PaidFamilyMedicalLeave, #PaidSickLeave so workplaces don't have to be π§«s!)

Minnesotans work hard & are entitled to

They should demand #PaidFamilyMedicalLeave, #PaidSickLeave, #MedicareForAll,
public higher education,
stronger unions,
higher taxes on great wealth, &
housing credits that will generate the biggest boom in residential home construction since World War 2.
