Not according to this recent study.

Zero industrialized nations are without a mandatory option for new parents to take parental leave. That is, except for the United States.

Looks like we are #1 in something. The knuckledraggers will be happy.

We are solving that problem as fast as we can. We are making noble progress towards not being an industrialized country for much longer.

I do not think $15 a hour is going to make kids drop out of high school.

Seattle can be an expensive area of living. Cost of living has gone up due many factors.

USA is the most over worked country with the least amount of pay.

Mexicans work more hours (I think the average is 80 hours a week) and don't receive anywhere near the amount of pay.

Yes, and slaves work 160 hours for no pay.

Consider also that the highest minimum wage in Mexico was just raised to 65 pesos per day, which is a little more than $5 USD.

Not my people. They were still in Italy when that all went down.

No. It was that fine fucking xtian, Jeff Davis and his brood of heavenly scumbags.

"It [slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts...Let the gentleman go to Revelation to learn the decree of God - let him go to the Bible...I said that slavery was sanctioned in the Bible, authorized, regulated, and recognized from Genesis to Revelation...Slavery existed then in the earliest ages, and among the chosen people of God; and in Revelation we are told that it shall exist till the end of time shall come. You find it in the Old and New Testaments - in the prophecies, psalms, and the epistles of Paul; you find it recognized, sanctioned everywhere.".
