    Odd because the company I work for has six weeks of paid parental leave and they didn't do it because of the government. The market created a competition for labor that necessitated the need to offer that as a benefit in order to attract the level of employee they were looking for. There was no government involvement needed.
    My wife got 22 weeks of company paid leave for our 1st kid.
    You must work for the government. Nobody in the private sector offers that kind of benefit, the market wouldn't allow it.
    Some do. Tech companies like AirBnB. Competition for workers is fierce in some industries
    @GDS you should look into AirBnB that way when you and your husband adopt you can get some good tim off to go on social media and show off your new Korean baby.
    Had 12 weeks paid paternity leave when each of my kids were born.
    I had a few days off. That was fine. JFC. People have had kids since the beginning of people. Billions and billions have been born. Now all a sudden it's a human right that parents take 6 months off and get paid for it. Through 99.99% of human history people had kids and got back to work. Now it's some sacred miracle that people seem to think they are the only ones to ever do it.

    Fine with me if companies want to offer it as benefit. But it's not a right and not a government function. If you want kids figure your own shit out.
    Agree. The market, as it usually does, sorts this one out just fine. FMLA does enough to protect your job. No need to mandate going any further.

    I don’t think it’s a right. That said, the incentives to have kids these days are small and the disincentives are large. What, if anything, should we be doing to address the fact that outside of the wealthy, Americans of child bearing years aren’t having kids?

    You’re awful close to your gruel and applesauce years to be this cavalier about where we’re going to find your nursing home assistants.

    So I was right? Raising taxes is the key?

    It's pretty much a one size fits all solution to all of our problems

    And he’s a Washington man too. Disappointing, but it used to be easier to get in.

    Ok we need to lower taxes so working people have more time and money to have kids


    Needing two incomes to stay where one used to work is the issue

    That’s not as targeted as good old fashioned exemptions for dependents. Those were ridiculously low even back when you and I had young kids. More generous exemptions could help.

    I'm not opposed to exemptions

    Climate change. This hoax scares people and they don't want to bring children into a world ending in 10 years. That and fag sex education in kindergarten.
