Reply to comment by Sparrows_Shadow in Democrats and Progressives regain veto-proof majority in the Vermont House by mojitz

This is the fear I'm talking about. Every single country has paid family leave but us, including way poorer and less developed ones. They all love it. It's just us.

It's not fear, it's data.

Places that have paid family leave have at least 1 million people living in their country. Can you find me a place that has any less 1 million people and paid paternity leave?

I happen to know cyprus just expanded its parental leave last month and has less than a million people.

That's off the top of my head because i happen to have a friend there. It's every single country. I guarantee you i can find you more if you're still not satisfied.

It's not data. It's fear. You made up data that isn't real to rationalize your fear.
