🚨AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE STAT: The amount that's already been spent on just two weeks of the Iran War is more than the government estimate of the cost of a paid family/medical leave program covering every single private-sector worker in America.

@davidsirota The French came up with a very humane way to deal with a ruling class that acts with impunity like this.
A simple invention by a certain doctor named Guillotin.
@davidsirota Paid family leave required years of legislative debate, CBO scoring, public hearings, and still failed repeatedly on cost grounds. $24 billion in two weeks of war required a presidential decision and a chain of command.
One process is called "democracy". The other is called "national security".
as if this shit wasn't depressing enough.
