  • All I can say is amen to that guy. Wish he was my lawyer

  • FMLA technically isn't what is flawed, it's people that are flawed. Lazy people will always find ways around work. FMLA is a bit ambiguous and vague intentionally to allow for situations that may come up that cannot be readily defined but a court may look at it on an individual basis and determine if it has merit. If you set out to define everything then that's it, there will be no room for interpretation. You can't sit there and define every single situation where FMLA may or may not apply.

  • Heritage is not research focused. They are ideology focused. The Heritage Foundation was created in 1973 by Joseph Coors, a racist, homophobic, anti-labour beer magnate, right-winger Paul Weyrich, and industrialists Richard Scaife and Ed Noble.

  • How many people would take advantage and how much of this is just rhetoric and anectodal argument? Heritage Foundation claims to be research-focused, but where's the research? All I hear is specific examples of unscrupulous people.
