My guess is it’s left over from the Soviet era, which had amazing maternity leave. My mom took 6 paid months, maybe longer, then a year unpaid, at which point you could get your unpaid leave extended if you wanted to. My mom chose to go back to work part time for another couple years.

And she gets slammed whenever she actually does something with her agenda. Make school lunches healthier- our kids aren’t eating this healthy food, which is totally your fault (I just saw the new options in my old high school under these reforms- WAAAY better than the shit they served when I was there). Let’s Move-…
What a fucking world when a con artist spawns a sociopathic torturer and claims to be the harbinger of a return to ‘family values.’
That would involve inheriting boatloads of that sweet environment raping cash. The only thing Huckabee’s kids are likely to inherit is diabetes.
I hear where you’re coming from. It’s important to remember though, that violent crime really was terrifyingly high in those days. I used to work with a guy who grew up in South L.A. who told me that back in the ‘90s, if you saw some guys driving slowly down the street in a convertible, you ran for your life. If you…
I’m old. Yes your recollection is completely correct. This had enormous bipartisan support at the time. We thought it would be good. It’s much like No Child Left Behind was signed into law by Bush but with Ted Kennedy and other Dems beaming behind him. In 2001 it seemed like a really good thing.
I don’t know, but the woman has a lot of odd, baseless negativity thrown her way, and little of it seems to be actually connected to anything she actively did or her capability for the future. I mean, the GOP candidates shift their opinions with the wind, but somehow it’s a scandal that she used to have opinions that…
To be fair it was 1992 and no damn liberal was getting elected president without supporting that tough on crime nonsense. It’s not like there was another option that didn’t involve expanding the police state. Heck they only actually got in there because Perot split the conservative ticket.
You know quite well there’s nothing “puzzling” about the move. She wants to appeal to the current issues and the current political climate. If you want politicians to continue to do so, you should offer them praise when they take the stances we’ve been asking them to take, not immediately go on righteous rants about…
no, you sound like someone who remembers their history. it’s easy to look back and see how awful these programs were in hindsight but they passed because it was the best compromise at the time.
Not real sure how Hillary also gets credit/blame for Bill, but okay. Anyway, this is from yesterday:
I tip at Chipotle. It makes me feel a little better about the sheer amount of food I’m about to put into my body.
At the risk of sounding like a Clinton defender, weren’t a lot of people on board with the whole “three strikes and you’re out” policy in the mid-1990s? Everyone knows now that it’s a fucking awful policy that exacerbates inequalities in the judicial system but I seem to remember that it had bipartisan support back in…
Don’t forget how it came out that when he was heading GA, he “staged” crimes, especially in the subways, for him to save the day. For fund raising and recruiting purposes, according to him (and he only escaped criminal charges for false reporting because the statute of limitations had run out when it was uncovered).…
OMG she’s Kendra in Buffy! Mind = blown.
I’m upset this post wasn’t about InfoSecTaylorSwift
Here's how it works. Amazon gives your app away for free, the exposure doesn't result in increased sales, and you get inundated by emails from people who got your app for free. Among other things.

Seriously, it’s a WASP point of pride to duct-tape one’s boat shoes together and exploit LL Bean’s return policy for all it’s worth.
