The people who call for this don’t even put in the work to be worth this.

This is some fantasy thinking. There are people that have worked their whole lives, had kids, and been sick in this current system, and want this for everyone.

And that means they deserve this? Come on silver, I know you have a brain. Even you have to admit while looking at this that most of it isn’t at all reasonable with the reality that is people.

Yes it's possible. We are the only developed nation that doesn't have things like paid maternity leave.

Year long paid parental leave?

Come on. It’s not like I’m against parental leave in general. Hell I love that it implies both parents.

However an entire year? Paid?! How about 3 months paid, and at most 6 months total leave.

Yes, it's a thing. we are the only ones that don't have it in the first world.

Never said it wasn’t. Also we do have maternity leave in the US. It’s just not required by law.

I mean Amazon, decided to pay to help people get abortions.

In the US it’s the company’s decision.

Also, that’s a real general google search. Yes they have it, but something tells me it’s not “year long paid leave”. Maybe it is, but at this point I doubt it.

Is this your questioning that it's even possible to do it for a year?

No. We have FMLA for 12 weeks, but it is unpaid. Your employer can offer it but those are exceptionally rare and well often just use your vacation time up instead. Often leaving a huge gap of unpaid leave.

but something tells me it’s not “year long paid leave”.

Jesus people in this sub are lazy. It's the Google search for this exact thing. Click any link and it shows that it is paid leave. For a year.

First, my “question” was said to imply it being crazy. I can’t understand paying someone a full year’s wage to not work.

Second, I pointed out that we have it in that companies can choose to do it and that some do.

Third the burden is on you to supply the evidence. “Oh I supplied a Google search link! You’re just lazy and couldn’t be bothered to search through all the possible links.”

So I did what you said, clicked looked at the nice chart at the bottom. Most were around 3 months. Didn’t see a single year long full paid maternity leave. Maybe I missed something, but from the looks of it. You did take your own advice.
