If only the free market would do something about the stagnant wages that the middle class and below have been getting for the last 30 odd years.

It should be neither awesome nor a surprise that a business is offering maternity leave. Because it should be expected. Because it should be mandatory. Complimenting a business when it voluntarily gives maternity leave is like complimenting your master when he gives you a particularly nice table scrap.

dijon du jour posted:Here's an article where they examined the 115 cases she had at the time made publicly available statements on and found that she had been proven right exactly zero times. It also has a few paragraphs about what a harmful shitpile she was. That's amazing. You'd expect her to get some right just by pure chance. Obviously she was psychic, but her spirit guys were huge assholes who lied to her constantly.

It basically says a company has to hold the job for a set number of months in the case of a pregnancy. edit: Unpaid leave forces new mothers to return to the workforce sooner which studies have shown to have negative effects on the mother and the child Pead has a new favorite as of 04:07 on Nov 22, 2013 |

Pretty sure that a significant majority of maternity leaves in the US are unpaid. This story states that only 17% of public-sector and 11% of private-sector employees have a paid maternity leave option.

Well?? What if a red dot was 5000 more potent than a purple dot?! I think maybe they're getting mad that each religion is represented equally. Homocow has a new favorite as of 19:11 on Nov 22, 2013 |

It reads like when your drunk friend tries to debate you in politics and gets angry at you because he isn't making any sense. content:  You are totally right, changing the filibuster laws to exclude nominees is exactly like a country who's economy is soley dependent on one export.

Apparently America was a banana republic before 2003, because before the Dems filibustered a couple of Bush's judicial nominees, filibusters for executive appointments were exceedingly rare.

I hate the words zilch and nada. Especially when used close together. Zip in that context as well. I've always imagined they're mostly only used by old grumpy aol-using ladies on local news websites who also say things like "don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya"
