I worked for a company that gave all employees three weeks of paid sick leave every year. You had some people the used it as it was intended, but you had others that simply used it as extra vacation time. If you took more than three days in row you had to provide a Doctor's excuse, so these folks either took two days every week or they provided a Doctors excuse saying something like they needed to take a couple weeks off for "allergies" or "stress reduction" or some other nonsense.

I'm guessing if Biden's 14 weeks ever became law, you would have a significant number of people taking exactly 14 weeks off every year.

That and 4 weeks of vacation is only 18 weeks, a mere third of a year. I’m holding out for half a year off!

Nevermind the government has no authority to mandate that.

[[[Biden responded: “Well, number one, I would ensure every worker had paid sick leave, period, and across the board. And it should be up to 14 weeks’ paid sick leave.”]]]

Screw that. I want to live with the cloud people.

His Son didn’t “marry” his Dead Brother’s Wife.

He just was looking after her, checking her Temperature every night with his Organic Thermometer just in case she contracted the Kung Flu.

He was and is a Saint.

Why not 28 weeks?

Because the additional funds are needed to distribute ponies to all the little girls.
