Right to Family and Care

Can I ask, out of curiosity, what qualifies as full time hours in the US?
Ours is by law 38 per week, minimum. (Obviously people work more thank that. Up to 45 for many industries I think. But both parties have to agree.)

Had to double check a few things.
Generally full time is 40 hours, and afted that does federally entitle you to time and a half with pay.
The ACA requires coverage at 30 hours. Yes, I myself would have lost several hours a week if I did those jobs, but most people didn't get those hours. It was the openers, closers, and overnighters who got the hours. Like the gas station. I'd be scheduled for 32 hours, with a few more hours being added from shift change stuff (except I zoomed through it like a high octane speed freak to get out). The way scheduling is there I'd probably be getting scheduled 24 hours a week. Which is what most people got. Then there would be a couple who got even less, people who were basically just there when me or a few others weren't.

If you noticed in the past , I've been endorsing "trickle up" instead of "trickle down" now.

I realized the trickle down just doesn't work while I was at a Dollar General distribution center. They have me convinced that a revolving door of bodies to use and abuse can be a viable option for large employers. There's always someone else to do it for low wages whenever a cog leaves, even if a lot of the cogs leave. Not like it requires any actual training anyways.

So you're cool with increasing the minimum wage? Great!

THE NUCLEAR FAMILY WAS A MISTAKE​

The family structure we’ve held up as the cultural ideal for the past half century has been a catastrophe for many. It’s time to figure out better ways to live together.

It's true. We were far more dependant on family and had closer ties to family before this preposition notion of the nuclear family that is among the most anti-family and weakest family units our species has practiced.

Yes. Thanks to a poster long-ago who made a great point as it relates to trickle down economics.

I guess we're in agreement then.

Yep. :0)
