AOC Proposes Family Leave Reform [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 15 Dec 2019 | John Semmens

Irked that there is a wide variation among the “family leave” policies practiced by different employers, Rep, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) recommended “we take a lesson from how we treat puppies. Typically, puppies stay with their mother for eight weeks before being put up for adoption. I think we should treat humans as well as we treat dogs.”

AOC is reported to be working on a bill that mandates employers to provide a minimum of eight weeks paid family leave, spaying, neutering, or euthanizing the offspring—whichever best promotes the general welfare promise of our Constitution, and determining whether each child would be returned to the family of origin or offered for adoption.

“The system we have now is so random,” she pointed out. “My bill addresses some of the glaring defects that need fixing. The family of origin will have eight weeks of uninterrupted time with each newborn. Unless government authorities decide otherwise, each child will be sterilized to help reduce the future human impact on the environment. And if the family of origin is deemed unfit to raise a child it will be placed for adoption by more suitable parents.”

In related news, AOC announced her support for decriminalizing the use of psychedelic drugs. “I have found them to be very helpful stimulants for generating progressive ideas on social justice,” she boasted. “I think if more people used them we’d speed up the pace toward a socialist America.”

So a mother should keep her baby for 8 weeks and then put it up for adoption?

Adoption is only one of the options that government authorities may order. The child could be left with the birth parents if they are judged suitable. The child could be euthanized if its continued existence is deemed a threat to the collective. At the very least, all children will be sterilized in order to ensure the eventual extinction of humans to save the planet from climate change.

Remember when even writing something like that seemed fantastically stupid?

I miss those times.
