Political Memes

I think people fail to understand what it means to work in America. Y’all Europeans really have no clue how bad we have it. If your job is accommodating you because you have kids and someone else complains, your company doesn’t accommodate both. They cancel your accommodation because of “fairness”. There is no ADA accommodation for kids.

The fact they agreed to it in the first place is a miracle. So yes people with no kids need to stfu. You already winning by keeping your money and more free time. Let parents have this one thing.

So are you for giving more flexibility for people who don't necessarily need it, or for taking away flexibility from people who do?

This seems like a bad faith take. If you have dependents — and I would include animals — then you have obligations to them. Employers tend to have carveouts for those obligations because they are universal to all humans.

Needing to care for a sick dependent is not the same as your middle-of-the-day champagne-and-pilates class, Sharon.

I feel like people don't think half a step ahead.

The children that these parents are taking care of, will probably grow up and work. Their work will allow our retirement. People without children just don't provide the same utility to the society.

We need "young people" and if we are unwilling to invest in that, we won't have them. And then we all moan about lack of social safe nets and pension safety.
