There is no right to paid medical leave in the us. You can request up to 180 days unpaid that is protected… But realistically you’ll be fired within a month after coming back due to “performance issues.” Your employer can also always ask the reason and fire you for not telling them, as then you have no protection from discrimination as your employer can argue they didn’t know enough to discriminate.

Workers rights in the US, unless you’re in an incredibly powerful union like the police unions or the aviation industry, are non-existent compared to any developed (and most developing) nation.

That’s an accent. I’m sorry you hate a modified/updated valley girl accent but it’s been around a lot longer than you, and will be around long after your bloodline ends.

We will always disagree with who is educated and learned, especially given everyone we think ha s those qualities today will be the dumbest people tomorrow.

Same thing for nitrogen, or any gas besides CO2. The human body has no way to detect oxygen. It can only detect CO2.

Technically? No. In reality? No employees have enough money to sue their employers, much less be basically permanently out of work due to being unhirable thanks to using a previous employer.

How old are you to still be criticizing accents that are older than the vast majority of countries?

Doing anything for a decade is a long time. That’s 1/7th of an American’s life span and 1/8th of a developed humans life span.

That’s nice, but you’re addressing a fundamental flaw of humanity that hasn’t been solved in a couple million years and won’t be solved by just advocating for a solution. Celebrity worship/innate trust of those popular is quite literally the basis of all complex group human interaction. To solve it would require elimination of all non first-person methods of trust and understanding.
