49 states have 'at will employment' meaning unless you have a union, which is ~not~ 90% of us, we can be fired just for saying we're sick. (yeah, it's wrongful firing - sure sue them. Tell me how rent gets paid while paying for a lawyer?)

The struggle isn't even to explain sick leave is a terrible racket, half (at least) of the US labor force doesn't even have sick leave or use it if we do!

I lived in the US in the early 2000s. One day I had to install a computer in this cubicle. The guy beside me kept coughing and throwing up. Turns out he had stage four lung cancer but couldn’t afford to not work. The man would empty a bucket of blood every evening before leaving. Cruelest thing I’ve ever witnessed.

How do you even .. there is nothing that can be said there that is going to make it clearer, is there?
