Evolutionarily, it probably helps with both speech and nonverbal language, i.e. facial expressions

I would love to visit Iran. I hope one day both the US and Iran have sane leadership and we can live in peace

Have a link to these? All the sources I see indicate Texas pays more in federal taxes than it receives back in aid

Can he say no? Another way to view this is that because y'all don't have kids he has an opportunity to make more money than all his coworkers who have kids, assuming he's choosing to do this work

I guess I've never had a job or been a manager who questioned someone for calling out sick. Doesn't matter why someone is calling out sick unless it becomes a pattern

Genuine question here -- where and how are employees without children treated differently? In the US, besides parental leave at the birth of a child (which only some employers offer), are there employers that offer differing time off? I work in healthcare, and everywhere I've ever worked provides paid time off equally to everyone. The biggest difference is parents usually end up burning vacation days due to sick kids or school holidays
