Wait - so currently it is legal for employers in the US to give ZERO vacation days to employees? Jeez, what kinda shithole country is the US?

    They elected a 'thing' that's obviously been a con man for decades.
    A blatant racist, casino bankrupting corrupt piece of disgusting scum. Who has had nearly 30 court cases for sexual assault.
    A so called human that has numerous websites tracking their obvious lies, thousands and thousands of confirmable and easily debunked lies.
    Then there's the 30 plus felonies. The numerous court cases and fines etc, some of which involve being fined for stealing from children's charity's.
    The list goes on and on...

    But, then, get this, then they fucking elected it again. And this was after the Covid debacle, an attempted insurrection, stealing of top secret documents to sell or use in nefarious manner, AND the Epstein-tRUMP files being in everyone's faces.

    That is what the us is to me now. And for the rest of my life.
    A country so complacent/evil/stupid that they can elect one of the very worst 'humans' in living history... TWICE!

    I think they're saying that an electorate that stupid wouldn't have been voting for reasonable policy even before that.
