It's a Tuesday, so it must be time for more patriarchal bullshit

"Leaders of the Ohio Civil Rights Commission were ready yesterday to tell skeptical lawmakers that guaranteeing women 12 weeks of maternity leave would ensure gender equality without hurting the economy.

They never got the chance.

Without a word from members of the civil-rights panel, a group of lawmakers yesterday shot down a proposal to grant Ohio women 12 weeks of paid or unpaid leave for pregnancy."

Yeah, wow. Hey all you preggers with a job: go fuck yourselves, because we care more about small business owners than we do women, their health or their families. And before you say it: this is not a political issue, we just feel it could use more "documentation" for the law to bode well with employers.

"The joint committee's six Republicans all voted against the policy, while three of the four Democrats joined them."

"Although Republican- leaning business groups had led the opposition to the policy, McGregor and Niehaus said their votes were based on the lack of data, not political considerations."

No...not political at all.

Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada.
