FMLA is unpaid. You only get paid to miss work if you use your vacation time or if you had paid for short term disability insurance, otherwise you are fucked. I know a woman who was forced to return to work 6 weeks after giving birth because her leave was unpaid and she couldn't afford to take any more unpaid leave
You can not advocate for something to happen but be glad it did.
Agreed. I never advocated for violence against CEOs, but Luigi has already saved hundreds of lives (United healthcare started approving more claims immediately after BT died) and he revitalized the debate for socialized medicine so I am very glad he did was he did.
Cars are useful in rural areas, absolutely, but cities should primary be built as walkable communities connected by trams, trains, buses and bike paths.
Car dependency is completely unsustainable in the same way that flying your car off a cliff is a flight that cannot be sustained.
The law can be whatever we collectively want it to be. The entire point of having Amendments is that the Constitution was supposed to be a living document that we would refine and improve over time.
Like farmers who refuse to let the government plant shelter belts to preserve our top soil all because they don't want to take a 5% hit on their yields... So instead we're going to deplete our top soil in 50 years and future generations will be completely fucked because creating 1 inch of top soil takes 500 years.
Also, DJT is just the tip of late-stage-capitalism's iceberg of evil so wake me up after we abolish billionaires, convert all large companies into worker co-ops, and design our cities to be walkable places connected by public transportation
This is what happens when basic political science isn't taught, guys like Elon have no idea that socialism (the left) is fundamentally about expanding democracy to our economic systems.
Letting tens of thousands of people die without access to healthcare is acting like an adult????
Liberals are the epitome of the trolley fallacy: passive choices are still choices, letting someone drown in a nasty swamp because you want to stay clean is social murder. Liberals might appear to have clean hands, but their souls are soiled by the deaths of all the people they chose not to help
Reminds me of how the damage to roads scales with the weight of the vehicle to the 4th power, so someone driving a 6000lb pickup does 16x more damage to roads than a 3000lb sedan
I worked the ER for a smaller hospital in the past and one evening I was called in because a father had ran over his own son with one of those pickups. The kid ran out to greet him but the father couldn't see his own kid because the lifted pickup's hood was too high.
I sincerely hate those wanktanks with all my heart and soul
