Dear Petey
Congratulations on becoming a parent. It's a wonderful thing. But here's the problem. You are a Cabinet Secretary- the Secretary of Transportation. It's a national position. An important position. I don't think you get this.
The nation learned that you've been on paid family leave for months. In a private business setting that might be just fine but you see, Petey, there are things going on.
There is a major supply chain problem. Store shelves are becoming more and more empty. Food stuffs like chicken are diminishing in inventory as are fish sticks, frozen meals and diapers. Given your lofty perch it's highly likely you will be able to procure all the diapers you need but not everyone is the Secretary of Transportation.
I too am a parent. I am also a doctor. I took an unpaid week off when each of the kids was born. Working stiffs like me do not have the luxury of months and months of paid family leave. The thing is that the entire country is not depending on us working stiffs for food and everyday needs. That's YOUR job.
Yeah I saw how Tucker Carlson ripped into you. I also saw how you tried to twist it into a pitch for Biden's nation bankrupting plans:
“But I also note that that doesn't speak for the country. I don't think that even speaks for most people on the other side of the aisle from the party that I belong to. This is largely a consensus issue, not just a support for families like mine to have a right to marry and right to be treated equally but also that families in general, moms and dads, ought to be able to support their children, including with paid family leave.”You also said you were "available to handle urgent matters." WTF? Is a burgeoning supply chain issue not an "urgent matter"?

Paid family leave is BS.
President Trump would roll up his sleeves and guess this mess cleared up a three or four weeks.
Lil Petey Buttgag is "available" — at the "glory hole" of his neighborhood gay bar.
They bought TWO babies!!!!
PHOOEY to them!!!!
Tell Pete they’ll set up an expressing station at work.
Buttigieg shows disturbing signs of being heterophobic.
As the supply chain port crisis festers, Buttigieg has been on 12 week paid maternity leave, and had plenty of time to do interviews for People magazine about his homo life.......
Buttigieg’s self-serving decision to take paternity leave undermines hetero taxpayers interests.......the ones paying his salary.

Buttigeig wasn’t given this Cabinet position for his ability and knowledge. It was just to fill the seat with an individual who wouldn’t rock the boat. His bailiwick is being run from the backroom.
He's certainly a very poor example for people who really do need the leave....
and for the people who are picking up the tab. In this case, it's you and me and personally, I'm livid.
He was being groomed to be Harris’ VP.
Not so much now.
Remember when it was called, “public service”? No matter. The is waaay over his skis.
Saw on another source: Isn’t this stolen valor from legit moms??
Quit picking on him already, he has enough trouble learning how to breast feed properly
Maybe he has post partum blues.
