I'll repeat... The comment isn't stupid if you get physiology fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 17/12/2019 08:52:04 PM

The early months of a kids life are when both parents and child are best primed to bond. Weaning ages for any number of animals is set based on this, or should be, at least, which is the only, limited comparison AOC was making.

No, a mom going to work coz her available maternity leave has ended is not a permanent separation from the baby. But it doesn't have to be to cause the harm it does by reducing time for interaction between mom and child.

That is the choice this country forces on women. Either take time off after maternity leave and lose pay and future career growth to stay with your baby now. Or go to work in 6 weeks and keep a career trajectory that's good for the long term benefit of your child.

This is not a fair choice. It is not a productive choice for an economy to force on its workers. It is not a moral choice for a society to force on its women.

But by all means, let's debate whether women are being forced to sell their kids 8 weeks after delivery. You know, important shit.

Re: Tom, for starters. I know you aren't. Not entirely clear on mook's exact position. Cannoli - 19/12/2019 09:48:25 PM 342 Views
But impeachment/inquiries is not legislation Floffe - 20/12/2019 09:54:19 AM 333 Views
So what, you think what Trump did in that phone call and the months after was fine? Legolas - 20/12/2019 05:22:57 PM 325 Views
He could have vetoed the aid, see. So it was ok to secretly withhold it. fionwe1987 - 21/12/2019 04:30:17 AM 264 Views
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE PHONE CALL? Tom - 21/12/2019 04:21:59 PM 298 Views

My position? damookster - 19/12/2019 10:07:22 PM 356 Views
The question was whether or not you're a Trump supporter. Cannoli asked. I am. Tom - 20/12/2019 12:09:43 AM 340 Views
Am I? Only indirectly. damookster - 20/12/2019 02:28:25 AM 318 Views

How on earth were Reagan and both Bushes not conservatives? Legolas - 23/12/2019 10:09:03 PM 316 Views
Cannoli has written about this many times and done a better job than I could. damookster - 23/12/2019 11:39:20 PM 313 Views
I would expect statements like that from Cannoli, yes, but not from you. Legolas - 24/12/2019 10:05:49 AM 330 Views
We agree on one point damookster - 24/12/2019 03:26:45 PM 317 Views
Where do you think the support for Trump comes from? Cannoli - 30/12/2019 11:54:33 PM 301 Views
Did you mean Peter? Cannoli - 19/12/2019 04:42:53 AM 318 Views
He means Steve King, Congressman from Iowa. Very controversial guy. *NM* Legolas - 20/12/2019 05:25:10 PM 155 Views
In NJ, Peter King (NY) is the first one that comes to mind. *NM* Cannoli - 30/12/2019 11:22:34 PM 147 Views
