Seems like every day there is an article that a passive plea for universal paid parental leave and universal free or subsidized child care.

One of the people in the article mentions "appreciation that mom brings different qualities and contributions" and that her heavily government subsidized employer reschedules meetings to accomodate family obligations.

Interesting, how the examples of employers that the mother worked for that provide all these special programs were mainly high-profit margin companies that get lots of government money.

All these family-friendly programs that there is a crusade towards would never work for a low-margin profit margin company that doesn't rely heavily on government handouts.

Now, there is a movement for flexible schedule, backup childcare and rescheduling meetings to meet family obligations.

As one that doesn't have children, I wonder how much all these new programs will cost the taxpayers or reduce workplace profit margins.

If it passes, you'll find out, because you'll be heavily and unfairly burdened with the responsibility of paying for all these news privileges. The best part is, you won't get to enjoy any of these privileges, because you don't have children. Sound fair? Of course not...

When they say something is "government subsidized", what they really mean is, you and me (and future generations) will be paying for that stuff that democrats want. But you already knew that I'm sure.

If your job is too much stress, find another. There are tons of jobs available and waiting to be filled. It's not the government's job to solve all your life's little woes. And you got another thing coming if you think you can coerce the rest of America into paying to solve all your life's problems.
