  1. Meanwhile, we continue to subsidize their healthcare and pay them despite NOT working WITHOUT being sick.

    One of the wealthiest (per capita) countries in the world and the party of protecting the rich so they can get richer wants to claw back sick leave.

    Something is fucking broken.

    I moved to MO two years ago. We voted to keep our sick time and were then undermined by our own state government who got rid of it in August. It’s absolute bullshit.

    I like the goal of these programs, but why are we, the employees, paying the premiums from our wages? It would have been much more efficient to force companies to provide the benefits themselves, but instead we’re developing huge governmental departments to manage employee leave. It adds a ton of bureaucratic waste for what could have been managed by existing HR departments.

    Gotta also include increasing retirement age alongside just ruining any future generations thoughts of social security.

  7. [Conservatism](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conservatism):

    >a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, **stressing the importance of established hierarchies and institutions** (such as religion, the family, and **class structure**), and preferring gradual development to abrupt change

    >specifically **:** such a philosophy calling for […] **individual financial responsibility** for personal needs (such as retirement income and **health care coverage**)

    Those who voted for conservative politicians and policies are getting *exactly* what they voted for.

    “Know your place” is the conservative mantra.

  8. Yall ever got sick leave? Best I’ve gotten is being forced to use vacation days if the job even offered those…
