Why should a business pay you for not working entirely due to a personal choice on your own part?

Doesn't seem to be working if that's the case, especially since justification for the migrant crisis was an aging workforce due to low birth rates.

The latter is an argument for why a company should consider offering it, not why it should be mandated.

No one on CE has any clue regarding the cost of firing an employee, conducting a hiring search, replacing the production while the hiring search is ongoing and then retraining an employee to do all the tasks the previously fired one did

I'm shocked

If you're arguing that it's good for the company, the company will willingly offer the service without regulation forcing it. But I don't think you really believe that.

If you want to operating in the U.S. economy you'll do so under U.S. regulations. If as a nation we decide it's worth it, you can take your property and fuck off to a shitty, "freer", smaller economy.

Also there are plenty of examples of you being objectively wrong, like taxation.

Someone's just mad they actually have to work to earn someone else's money.

Eh, with how often the CElibs bring up the single-most painful experience of my life - that literally drove me to attempt suicide - with nothing done by mods whatsoever, I just gotta laugh it off.

Call Kobe a rapist after he actually raped a woman, though....

Nope. I wouldn't qualify for maternity leave. Anyway the government already pays for people's choices. Who do you think pays for public schools?

We get 52 weeks in Canada ;D

Yes its through employment insurance so you only get a portion of your income, but my employer tops it up to 93% of my salary, so technically I'd make almost as much if I took the whole year off.
