I hope this administration implements Federal parental leave. I don't understand how and why we still tout ourselves as the greatest country in the world, and we don't even have basic paid parental leave.

OP, D1 can correct me, but I believe the sum of points against federal payments are:

1 - Opportunity cost is lost when staff take FMLA as they are not working. Federal payments would encourage the use of FMLA limiting resource availability. - My response is that this is using economic pressure to disadvantage lower income workers by minimizing child bonding time.

2 - Federal payments impinge on the rights of employers and employees to negotiate benefits like parental leave. - I question if OP negotiated his own benefits with Deloitte or accepted what was offered. In reality, people need jobs and lower income workers typically have less marketable skills and less negotiating power.

3 - Federal payments would need tax increases to pay for themselves. - This is true.

D1, am I on track with your points?

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it.

My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Thought - In the Georgia runoff elections, the best use of Democrat money would be to run ads which seem to have a conservative bent and play up the election fraud conspiracies, claiming the election system is broken and can’t be trusted. Maybe even offer up a way to grieve their frustrations with the system (that isn’t voting obviously). Would be so effing perfect if Rs lost the senate because trump cast doubt on election integrity.
