And who is going to pay for this?

This is going to sweep the country. We are well on our way to becoming a European-style social democracy.

I think New Jersey should extend Family Leave to 18 years....for the children.

Who are the suckers that are going to carry the load for all of the weeks these people are not working?

It’s not much more than the weekly cap on the highest unemployment insurance.

The “You Couldn’t Pay Me Not to Have My Family Leave NJ” Act.

I would be calling the moving trucks & leaving NJ immediately if I had a company there.

HAVE A JOB or HAVE A FAMILY.

Ladies-—you have been lied to: YOU CANNOT HAVE IT ALL.

This will probably help job seekers past their child bearing years.

Where I live, and this is now law, small business employers now call paid leave “Friday Off”. It’s being abused and you can’t question the employee without threat of some civil rights suit.

These states wouldn't be pushing this garbage if we had a true system of federalism. If states were responsible for everything except defense and immigration, they would be prudent because they know people will pick up and leave.

So NJ can push this because they know people will start begging the Federal government to make it national.

I came thisclose to moving my business out of New Jersey when my lease came up for renewal in 2018. I stayed because a project that had been dormant for more than a year suddenly sprang back to life, but I'd say there is a damn good chance I'll be gone by next year.

This family leave idiocy isn't even what is driving my decisions. It's simply a matter of other states offering much better business climates for my clients.

Kalifornia commies are kicking around the idea of 18 weeks with 100% pay.
