College
Healthcare
Vacation
Parental leave
Baby items
Daycare

It's apparent MSN is advocating our Gov't provide these things; socialist gonna socialist.

In fact, the US is the only advanced economy without a paid vacation policy, reports the Boston Globe, citing the World Policy Analysis Center at the University of California Los Angeles. Only 13 countries are in the same boat. Most offer universal paid vacation policies - in the UK, employees receive about 28 days of paid leave, and in Denmark, workers get 25 days of paid annual leave.

This might be true, but not everyone gets to go to school. You have to actually be smart in those countries.

Healthcare

Whatever, we still have the best in the world.

quote:

Vacation

Pretty sure we get vacation

quote:

Parental leave

Pretty sure we get this as well. Maybe not as long.

Baby items

WTF?

Daycare

WTF again?

In their mind, since the government hasn’t set a universal policy, then people aren’t getting paid for their vacation.

Another that in their view, since the gov’t hasn’t set a national minimum, it doesn’t exist.

To be fair the federal govt only jas laws to reserve your job for when you get back. Paid leave is exactly 0 days.

In Norway, I believe they require 4 weeks of vacation but recommend 5 weeks and encourage 3 weeks to be taken at a single time. Basically Norway shuts down during the month of July.

The MSM is the propaganda arm of the left, and the foundation of any significant legislation from the left is Marxism. So a big chunk of the MSM's job is to make Marxism attractive.

This is the glue that holds the whole socialist schtick together. Stupid people think the government has its own money.
