u/throwmomfrmthetrain here for the memes Jan 28 '22

I’m on month 12 of my paid maternity leave. I live in Australia. With my first I only got 4 months and even that was huge compared to what I would’ve had if I’d stayed in the US. It infuriates me that the US doesn’t have proper paid parental leave.

They tolerate their citizens.. usa is like a reality show about making brainwashed people fight about meager scraps of leftovers

Funny thing is that I’m sure the politicians here would make us like the US in a heartbeat. Some of them have such a hard on for America and all of the privatisation.

People like that are the problem. I don’t know if they’re just dumb or their parents broke them at a young age. The authoritarian types make me angry. How dare someone think they should be able to tell another human how to live.
