Other countries have found a way to give up to almost 400 days paid leave, I think America could figure it out.

Maybe I have a failure in my imagination, but I can't see how.  I can't afford to pay for my own health care and workman's comp insurance.   Luckily I get the former through my wife's work and the latter I can opt out of paying as the principal of the firm.  If I were to hire someone and pay a health care policy, workman's comp, witholding, AND four weeks paid leave...for a guy making $18/hour, I'd have to bill $65 or so...and that's without adding a profit (or precious little, haven't done the math) to his rate....ain't no one paying that..

You can't give paid days off if you can't get work because no one can afford it.

Tulsi x 8
Bernie x 7

And yes the US lacks way behind other developed nations in time off. If you're sick you shouldn't have to give up vacation time. Many employers do not separate the sick and vacation out; its simply termed as PTO.

I get almost four weeks now bc I've been there so long but most in my company are in the 2 week range. You need time away from work to keep your mental health in check in my opinion.

That's not to say you can't still bust your ass and work hard and all that but time away is healthy.

Big business and the boot straps crowd has way too much control. Too many people I've heard of getting canned in low level jobs for missing work bc of kids being sick or other reasons.

Yang 10
Klobuchar 8
Buttigieg 7
Bloomberg 6
Gabbard 6
Biden 5

I'm not very well informed on a couple of these and don't feel strongly enough about some of them that it would keep me from voting for a candidate that doesn't hold the same position.

[Rome]

Steyer, Bloomberg & Klobuchar all tied with 12.  Yang with 11.

Meh. 

[Munson]

Bunch of neolibs in here

[Rome]

I wanted Beto.  Few others did so I'm out.   

Frankly I don't care who the Dems pick.  None of them have a chance in this rigged, crime-ridden joke of an election.

🖕🏻 Em All.

We're talking about real jobs with computers, desks, and a/c

Oh, I beg your pardon.

I'll just pipe down then.

Sorry...I sincerely didn't think it would upset you that much.

I'm not sure what the exact criteria would be, but based on company profitability and/or size, the Leave would have to be subsidized by the government.

I don't think this should be limited to breeders. Every body should get that kind of paid vacation time every year.
