This is followed by about a year and a half worth of paid days that can be used by either parent and the parent can also work at the same time so they double dip

I'm hopeful and fearful that in the next four years more people will actually figure out who the real villains are. The cracks are really showing now. I just hope working people realize they are being divided and start to push back and demand basic human rights.
