Keep sawing the rungs off the employment ladder. Good plan.

What right do you have to sick time? You don't like your current employment situation go negotiate a better one with your employer or go get a different job. You have no "right" to sick time.

NYC just passed a law giving New Yorkers the right.

No they passed a law ensuring job cuts, fewer start ups, and higher prices and wrapped it in a feel good promise.

They will never get it. Of course they don't care either as long as something is given to them they think they have a "right" to. What about the rights of the folks who will end up paying for it which is everybody else. They don't care as long as they get theirs. Liberals are a very selfish group I've noticed.

A law is not a right. If so then why do liberals argue about my "right" to own a gun that is actually spelled out in the Constitution? What about others "rights". Oh wait you don't care as long as you get your handout. Typical.

But...but...aren't you really sick? You did say you need a transplant. People who need transplants are usually quite ill.
On the other hand, you also said you're so healthy that you haven't needed to see a doctor since you were 29.
So, which is it? Which one were you being less than honest about?

Laws and an independent judiciary are the best ways to define rights. At the very least they're a much better way than simply deferring to whatever you say.
