Sallie’s Opinion

File this under: endless loop

By now, you’ve probably heard that the 12-week paid family and medical leave program fell out of Biden’s social policy bill last week. That leaves the United States as one of only six countries with no national paid leave program.

Sadly, we all lose here. When it’s offered, the benefits of paid leave for families are overwhelmingly positive for kids, families, and even businesses. (It’s not even hyperbole to say humankind at large.)

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the different ways women are systematically left out, and how those things are undeniably intertwined.
