Fascist crabs in a barrel.
I worked for the federal government in Canada. When my wife was pregnant I went to my director and said, "I would like to take a couple of weeks or maybe a month off to help my wife after she has the baby." He asked, "What are you entitled to under the collective bargaining agreement?" I said, "The parents can share 9 months of parental leave but she doesn't work so that means I can take up to 9 months." he replied, "Then take the 9 months. It wasn't available when my wife had kids but I would love to have taken it. Take every day you're entitled to." So I did, once for each of my two kids. It wasn't a fucking summer vacation.
The fucking rich old white men are gaslighting you. The rest of the world has parental leave.
Vote better.
Inb4 the totally-not-shills arrive to add "No no no fellow poors! Voting changes nothing, do you know what I be saying, my dog? You should not even try to vote, surely it will not make a difference. Working within the "system" can never succeed, dude, so I just stay at home playing among us and catching pokeyman creatures. On no account should you ever vote, for rizzle."
Those shills really need to ask themselves: "Why do the policies I support not stand up on their own and need me to astroturf any dissenting opinions".
They won't obviously, as conservative policy doesn't benefit anyone but the mega wealthy. It would be nice though.
Shills only care about getting paid. That's what makes them shills.
I suspect most of the people you're talking about are just unpaid idiots.
The problem is that a lot of non-shill people have bought into that line of thinking.
