    Neat, the article and the study even talks about it

    The study calls for a reevaluation of the breadwinner ideology, highlighting the need to understand and support American men’s diverse and often precarious employment experiences.

    Hell, the article's conclusion is about economic instability being a bad thing? >

    Not to mention, we seen this play out historically in the US.

    Inflation didn't really affect Nixon or Reagan reelection, what mattered was the wars and jobs

    When Volkner jacked up rates during Carter, it cause a massive spike in unemployment which is the main reason why Carter lost reelection

    I thought this is valuable because we seen Dems picking up seats despite the high inflation and this might provide the reasoning behind it

    Hong Kong is pretty open to immigration already, especially from the mainland. The problem is their traditional sources of immigrants are drying up and expats that bring in business are avoiding Hong Kong

    You are right

    It does mandate 2 days out of a pay period, the bill does suck

    What is interesting, is while the MAGA wants full RTO and Biden via Executive Order is also trying to push full RTO (just ask the EPA staff). The Senate has this bill pushing for some not full RTO. I don't support this bill, but I can't help but wonder if the Senate is admitting some weakness here

    Broader context is Biden is trying to force RTO on all federal workers

    Which make this bill a shock

    You are absolutely correct

    A major problem my friends who work for gov is that Biden been trying to push RTO, even as his own agency heads work from home, so I must have missed the poison pill when I read this article

    This legislation emerges on the heels of efforts by senators like “Family-Friendly” Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) to undo remote work, which makes it easier for workers to start and grow families, guidelines established during the pandemic.

    I thought the article was just mocking right wingers

    Edit:

    It does mock right wingers, and I read the bill it doesn’t look like it has a poison pill besides the potentially harmful twice in a pay period (which is two weeks)

    Remote work has been a target of self styled “pro-family” conservatives. For instance, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) voiced worries about federal employees moving to less expensive areas but retaining high pay (The absolute horror!). These arguments contribute to a larger political discourse on the pros and cons of family-friendly remote work.

    If it was white supremacist, I wouldn’t share it. The obsession with population decline is weird, but they have gone after Meloni and Musk for being virtues signalers who cares more about culture fights than families. So I guess they can’t be all bad

    Honestly, I would really want more information on this before making a clear cut judgement.

    A ton of what caused extremists to attack moderate Hutu and the Tusti is opportunists and Hutu elite drumming up hate, and again would like to know more information

    Yeah, it is frustrating to see Newsom has a lot of juice when it comes to lip service and appointing Union Busters to seats of power, but falls flat when it comes to actually being pro worker
