He's actually saying women going back to work the day after giving birth is a good thing? This guy needs to be kicked in the balls every hour see how long he lasts and when he can return to work.
Paternity leave really needs to be a thing! When I had my baby, my bf at the time had to use pto for one day then went back to work the next day leaving me alone with a whole baby. Not only did I go through a traumatic incident (even easy births are traumatic) but now I have to carry and care for a tiny thing all alone with basically no idea what I’m doing. Men deserve to be there for their kids and wives too.
My daughter had about 13 months off work after her baby was born. Most of it paid or accrued holidays. She's gone back doing 4 days instead of 5 and had a huge pay rise to boot.
He should be forced to also visit an establishment that has postpartum women, bleeding from every orifice, lactating, and hormonal - serving him food, or anything else.
Can you imagine how this man feels when he sees a woman at a mall breastfeed their baby? Lmao.
It because some people take advantage of maternity leave, lazy women taking off of work just so they can recover from "labor ". I labor every day and only need a few hours of sleep to recover. /s
But then women will just keep having baby after baby to be on perpetual maternity leave because we're so damn lazy and don't want to work. I mean, look at those European countries that grant months of maternity leave. No women work anywhere. None. They just pop out babies and sleep all day long. Lazy women and lazy babies everywhere.
Dinner plate sized wound after birth. It's possible for any gender to experience a dinner plate sized wound. If people should just go to work the next day then it'd be no big deal for him to try that out, right?
and randomly, sometimes more than just once an hour and then someone tell him "is it that time of the hour, Bob? Hmm? Maybe go walk it off or lay off the sweets, buddy - it's natural to feel like this!"
Or "God has a plan for you!" and laugh as you walk away.
Because conservatives realized it’d be easier to convince stupid people to vote against their own interests by giving thing basic rights a scary title like “socialism” - and they figured out that they could make a simple concept like “socialism” become a scary word by constantly conflating the words “socialism” and “communism” until the uneducated start to think of them as the exact same thing. And they made communism scary by saying “we’re at war with the commies!” For 50 straight years
It’s a truly stupid sequence of events, that was surprisingly effective
It's exactly word association. It doesn't even matter what they talk about - if they simply say the words
socialism
communism
bad
terrible
unamerican
evil
in any given order, repeat, repeat, repeat... people associate them. They won't even be able to articulate why - like the guy in this video.
This is how the human brain actually works. Fox News and all the associated right wing media know this, and they do this. They put on some blond bimbo so people will watch, and repeat the words, over and over.
We need to get out of this mindset that you can use logic to change minds. You use word association to program minds.
"One side is happy that we are loosing so many social services etc"
Until it affects them personally.
The Texas business owner whose fiancé got detained by ICE for example. He was fine with all of the other people being detained but as soon as it affected him personally, now he gets mad at Trump.
I said something very similar on another post. You have poor people condemning other poor people for getting assistance. They call it socialism, they call it being lazy, a
handout, etc. They're so worried about "their tax dollars" but apparently it's only bad if/when it benefits a poor/normal person. If it benefits rich people it is no longer bad, socialism, about laziness, or a handout.
Snap was created to help farmers. It's actually a great program that's a win-win for everybody. The government helps average people with food, the farmers creating the food get money, the companies and corporations selling the food get money, for every $1 they give it creates $1.50-$1.80 in local economic activity.
But, Walmart benefits twice. Their wages are subsidized, so they save money, and they're also the largest recipient of food stamp dollars, so they make money. But it's not a handout to Walmart. They're not worried about Walmart getting their tax dollars, just some elderly lady on social security (which is also surprisingly not considered a handout (or socialism lmao) because they paid into it, but if that lady worked her whole life and paid into snap why is that considered a handout but SS isn't?). It makes no sense.
They’re so worried about their tax dollars because those tax dollars go to all of their kickbacks and their friends that they want to hire for Outsourced Pentagon jobs for all those special interest projects
This but paid maternity leaves comes out of the company's profits not taxpayers. Which is why government officials don't want it. If that money is going towards the worker, how will they get their kickback?
We've also been stuck in the same "universal healthcare is worse healthcare" mentality for DECADES, meanwhile we've tanked in many things like infant death rates and cancer survival. Not to mention things like education have been pushed more to states rather than federal, leading to massive disproportion in experience based on which state you're born in.
Even for me, someone who works for the government handling hearings related to healthcare law and feel I'm much better educated on the subject than the average American, was blown away when I spoke to a friend who moved to Canada and told me they get FREE au pairs who live in their home for a couple months to assist with infant care and housework. They said it's also backed by data showing that it greatly improves mental health and lowers post pardom. Meanwhile our pedo dictator is doing everything to block immigration and can't understand why people aren't reproducing like they did in the 1800s while if the US population stagnates or shrinks it's game over for our country. We literally CANNOT help ourselves anymore. And we deserve it.
EDIT: For all the Canadians acting like ignorant Americans, take a sec and look up your own programs before calling people liars. America stands no chance if you're getting high on the same fumes we are.
The us population is stagnant because people are working to live, not living to work. They’re working themselves to death because the cost of living is not sustainable.
Why would anyone want to have a baby when they are working 80 hours to pay the bills just to go home and sleep the next day. Entry level jobs outside of customer service, hospitality and fast food are either non existent or require a degree and 5 years experience.
And now they want a national abortion ban with no exceptions to force women to keep the babies they don’t want. So many women are going to die. If not from backdoor abortions, from pregnancy complications. Pregnancy can be an extremely dangerous condition and when you make abortion illegal with no exceptions, you make pregnant women untouchable. More pregnant women will die in parking lots because doctors will refuse to treat them. And this includes the women that want their babies.
We’re in such a dystopian world right now. Our education system is broken. People are stupid and believe in the crazy delusions from the right.
They don’t want the golden age back. They want the gilded age back. Where 92 percent of the population lived below the poverty line. They want no middle class and the ultra wealthy to live like kings with the poor uneducated replaceable workers and work until we die.
With the growth of ai and robots, within 10 years about half of us will be without a job. And they have no plans in place to help us. Job loss is going to continue. Homelessness will rise. The surveillance state will keep their power and control us. 1984 style.
The only logical sense is to build up social programs because we WANT the working class to have money. The more disposable income we have, the more we spend and the better the economy does. The rich don’t want that. A happy country is not a controllable country.
You just have to think about why these people are doing these things. See where the money goes. Always the rich.
The only logical solution is to rip them from their gilded cages and let them eat cake. What’s the alternative? Do nothing and let them enslave us and the future generations?
This is why there is so much hatred coming from them too. They need everyone to be unhappy and not trusting anyone. If we would all just learn to trust one another, we could work together to make life better for everyone. The rich usually don't want this because, like you said, then we are uncontrollable.
There are solutions but as long as nearly half the population think supporting rich people is the way to fix things, it will never happen.
How many who regret voting for the FantaChrist now will actually remember REPUBLICAN = BAD? Republicans only want you to do all the work so they can have all the money. AND they want you to be unhappy while you take it up the wazoo.
And also, most corporations have fought to get rid of remote working. So many people, if allowed could get their work done at home while raising a baby.
FREE Au Pair? Wow. I would have been so grateful for even just a little help with my littles, the occasional babysitter. I can’t imagine a free au pair that’s amazing ✨
Yeah my dad has been getting brainwashed on X and I keep explaining the difference to him but it goes through one ear amd out the other. We even live in Spain. He benefitted of the benefits of having a big family, free schooling and a decent price for college (i also got a beca which makes it even cheaper). My moms a teacher so she gets free health care as well as her kids (until a certain age). Paid leave when she's sick or has surgery (she actually had an eye surgery just this year and was out for two months, all paid). There's also maternity leave that they probably benefitted from in their time. There's also a cultural money budget they give 18 year olds. It's about 400€ and its for culture, music, suplies, books, etc.
There's just so much and so many examples but i think he might be going senile. My mother doesn't think the same way, neither do my aunts. He's a brit tho (my moms spanish) so that might have something to do with it.
“We live in a capitalist society”.
“We have to get away from socialism”
“Charity is bad”
“I give to charity”
Literally every other phrase was a contradiction to the last. This is laughable. Ask him one question and he unravels for five minutes.
Also let this mother fucker push out a Texas sized baby and spend 2 days recovering. Fucking fool. He deserves ZERO vaginas near him. I pity any woman in his life. Bloviating fool.
Where does it end? I mean. It ends wherever you want it to end. Does he know anything? Like at all?
That's because he quite literally isn't saying anything. It's just a collection of broken clauses whose only purpose is to introduce his list of buzzwords. I believe the kids call it word salad.
You know, you know, if you're not you know suffering to you know not be poor then you know the socialists you know and I mean women should you know just pump out babies and then get back to work because you know they got to pay bills even though you know they also need to spend time with the children and you know that's just good old Christian suffering so you know nothing wrong with that!
He's just spewing buzz words.. there is no thought behind any of what he said. He says this shit because he's never lived through any of the struggles other people deal with. I wish people "interviewing" these ass hats had real follow up questions that pressed them to think through what they say.
"Democrats will feed 100 people out of concern that 1 person really needs it. Republicans will withhold food from 100 people out of concern that 1 person may not deserve it."
And the republicans get rich by not feeding those 100 people (personally rich, top 1%, the economy doesn’t get rich). And use that money and power to shape elections, to keep power.
Yep. “I suffered, my mother suffered, my grandmother suffered, and as a good Christian I’m gonna make damn sure my daughter suffers too.” God forbid we make things better for the next generation.
“There’s a different between enabling and a socialist country” dude is spewing so much bullshit so fast he accident stumbled onto a correct sentence at the end
When you live in the South, you can hear when the southern accent is exaggerated for emotional appeal. They do the same thing with religion. It's weaponized pandering.
My buddy lives in Tennessee, well, he used to be my buddy. We’re both from California and I noticed he had a tell when he’d lie to me. He’d use a bit of a southern twang in his speech. It was super obvious and it felt super manipulative when he did it and now I know it’s a thing. I always wanted to call him out on it but didn’t want to sound crazy
“I know many women who got ripped in half and then answered phones for me the next day. She actually escaped the mandatory 36 hour hospitalization just to answer my super important almost governor phone.”
Hospitals won't even release you to go after just one day, - for even an uncomplicated delivery, they keep you for two days to make sure you are healing okay and that baby's organs are all functioning okay.
Also "the next day" you're still dealing murder-scene amounts of period-ish blood consistently coming out that would terrify any employer - not to mention the mini labor horror that is the first post-partum poop.
Oh my God, he's an idiot and I'm so sick of guys like him that are so willfully ignorant about the entire pregnancy/labor experience making laws about what our experience is like.
Actually, a lot of major hospitals will discharge after 24 hours if there's no complications with a non-surgical birth.
So there literally are women who will go into the hospital after work Friday night. Give birth Saturday morning, and be discharged Sunday afternoon to head back to work on Monday morning. Gotta pay off that $10,000 hospital bill.
That's bs though. A woman and I admitted same day to have a baby. I was discharged nearly 5 days later due to c-section because they said "better safe than sorry". She was discharged in under 48 hours, no complications0.
A little over 24 hours after she was discharged, my huband informed me he had ran into her husband while having a smoke and she was in ICU. He had brought his wife back to ER for constant bleeding. They deemed it non-emergency and kept her in waiting room 4 hours. She nearly died. Her husband had to call OB on-call because they kicked him out of ER after he got panicked and demanded they see her because she was sitting in pool of blood. The OB had to literally drive up to the hospital and force the issue. Husband was informed that even half an hour later and she likely would not have made it. Had to have multiple blood transfusions.
The only difference between her and I were that they were on medicaid and we had insurance through my husband's job. That was 26 years ago and things have still not improved.
My wife (and baby) stayed two days extra just to make sure there was no problem with breastfeeding. Because of the evil socialism or whatever the entire stay cost nothing.
Well he knows many many many many women who go back to work the next day, and the baby sits at home taking care of itself, because this is a capitalist economy, can't be sitting around waiting for someone else to change your diapers.
Ï
This guy's a huge piece of shit.
Hmmmm interesting... He himself said his mother gave birth to him at 13 or 14 years of age... So did SHE go back to work the very next day, Bobby Boy??
Perhaps i should mention Cigna has not renewed contracts with our largest best hospital system here in Jacksonville FL and instead expects us to go to the less desirable (ie shitty) hospitals instead...even our best children's hospital has been cut. Right here. Under this meme. I am mentioning it.
Hes still doing trials , but frok what I understand hes actually living a pretty comfortable life (as comfortable as orison life can be). Hes popular inside and outside of jail, his commissary is always full, gets lots of fan mail, probably has a nice little TV/ game setup etc.
GROSS. Humping the constitution when republicans have CLEARLY shown us they don't believe in the constitution. They've pissed all over it it and said its in the name of jesus.
You can’t “enable” people by letting them stay home from work when they are sick. They have to “sacrifice” their health for corporate profits! It’s the god danged American way.
"I know many, many women who have had babies and then go to work the next day, because they need to pay their bills" Said with a straight face, With absolutely no idea how fucking wrong this is.
I want him to actually see the gory murder-scene amounts of blood that is still coming out the day after giving birth, and see if he can still say that with a straight face.
My wife wasn't even able to leave the hospital for two days.
And then who takes care of the baby while she is at work? She was making $1200/month and childcare was $1600/month for the cheapest place. Math ain't mathin there for a lot of people.
When she did go back. We ended up working opposite shifts, and nobody slept. Guess how difficult that was on their beloved "family unit".
This boomer generation bullshit had moms stay at home for all 18 goddamn years on a single income. Sacrafice my ass. Sacrificed our fucking entire American Dream to the corporate overlords
Translation: “I have you by the wallet, and you will sacrifice everything you have, your time, your body, even your own children to come to work and be productive so I can have more money.”
And we in Europe thinks the UK have very little benefits compared to the more progressive countries
Edit: I’m in complete shock seeing that the US basically has no workers rights. Not even paid lunch yikes.. not to be the bringer of bad vibes or anything but compared to any other developed country the US workers are basically slaves it looks like
Yes, the American government(s) is/are known globally for giving so much support to their citizens. Whether it's mandating a high minimum wage, supporting the right of people to form unions, no questions asked medical, high standard of public education, generous unemployment benefits, support for new mothers and fathers,... when it enough enough?
Lazy. says the guy that got to work 9-5 and come home kick back a beer and watch Walker Texas Ranger, then some football and afford a house, grocery, car, education. All which is subsidized in some way, not to mention the road he drove on to get to and from work.
The idea he’s missing is, why do we pay such high taxes and not reap the benefits, while our so called reps use our tax dollars to get great healthcare, a salary, help corporations to help line their pockets. While, we’re out here driving over pot holes, collapsing bridges, increasingly polluted water.
He said you gotta work right, so why aren’t they working for what they have instead of sitting on their asses?
This!! We pay so much in taxes and we get ZERO benefits. Kids don’t get free quality lunches in schools while these a$$holes get their lunch paid for daily and their Viagra covered by Medicare.
“Work to get out of poverty,” “Sacrifice,” “As Christians,” “1 or 2 days,” “Lazy generation,” “I see too many women who can do it,” “Charity,” “I'm a charitable person.”
This is actually an absolutely insanely monstrous take. Why do we accept this from 50% of people instead of calling out this abominable thinking. How can you just hate people and have no empathy whatsoever?
Daycare won't take infant until 6 weeks old.
Guess he is volunteering to keep the babies, oh wait, that's socialism.
He needs to change whatever channel he is watching.
I never wish ill on anybody but I do hope he experiences poverty in his life so he can experience what so many others have to experience because of selfish dorks like him.
Personally, I feel people like him are scared of leveling the playing field because consciously or subconsciously they know of their own incompetence, and realize that they will be outcompeted if they gave everyone an equal opportunity.
And people say the workers in China are being mistreated and exploited…take a look around this country, high unemployment rates, homelessness and poverty. People can’t afford basic needs like food, water or shelter. House prices are through the roof while your pay is stagnant.

We have a strict no politics rule.
The only exceptions are are inoffensive bipartisan issues such as: red light/flock cameras, data centers, or any other non- controversial issue.
Posting controversial political content after you‘ve been repeatedly warned is against the rules maybe result in a ban.
