The issue of paid family leave encapsulates what’s wrong with America (we don’t have it) to the transition we’re making now (people want it). Mothers and fathers should be able to trade off time with a newborn for a full three months. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/e…

Families want to be able to raise a child on one parent income. They don't want to pay some stranger to raise their kid.

We can no longer normalize the despair of others. “We were born to be conduits of love, expressed to alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings.” Enough. As President, Marianne W. will tend to the needs of all Americans. That is who Marianne is. That is what she does.

We will have paid family leave, affordable, quality child care, safe food, water, RX, we will have everything We the People deserve. We will have want is lacking, strengthen what is weak with a President Williamson Administration. I just changed “can have” to “will have” 🕊VOTE🕊

Only three months? Even Russia gives up to three years! Not all of it paid of course. The first year of a child’s life is crucial in forming secure attachments that will benefit the rest of the child’s life.

It's all traceable back to essentially no inrease in wages in the last 40 years with all $ gains going to the top %2!

Are you working with this administration's efforts on their push for family leave? usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

We have inflation to thank for that. Moms and dads who work don’t do so because of the entertainment value—they have to. How about the income taxes get suspended for 12 months after a birth or adoption of a child. That would be close to freeing up enough income to pay for 3 mo.

Forcing companies to provide 3 months of paid family leave would force millions of businesses out of business.
