 I see you already got an earful but I just can't get over the fact that you gave me a 421 word exposé describing how unproductive it would be to employ a female of child-bearing years over a male after saying you've never heard of America referred to as "the land of productivity".  Maybe you haven't heard it but it's clearly part of your psyche.  I'm going to petition your gov't to have "land of productivity" added to your national anthem so it gets equal air time with "land of the free" and "home of the brave".  In my mind, America is much closer to "the land of productivity" than it is to "the land of the free" - I absolutely LOVE visiting the USA but I have never had to show my identification as often in any other country I've visited and don't get me started on paying before you pump gas...

I think you completely missed my point. There are many companies offering extensive maternity & paternity leave as part of their benefits packages to draw the best and brightest employees! My company offers 5 weeks paid vacation plus 10 days paid sick leave / personal days as well as 95% Health Insurance Premium. (employee pays 5% of annual premium split across their weekly payroll, comes out to about $8/week pre tax)

But if it is Required of all employers by government legislation, then there is no benefit to being the schmuck that makes the investment blindly. In that case, it would be my responsibility to be biased against hiring young females. It's the unintended consequences of feel good government policy. It secures the politicians election prospects because it sounds good, but when the reality sets in it's actually most destructive to the very ones it claims to be helping.

There was mention of Welfare Queens. So the cradle to grave multgenerational welfare machines is proclaimed to be a safety net to help poor single moms rise out of poverty right? Except by design, if there is a father figure present the payments are not only stopped, but charged back to the fathers. The number one contributing factor in poverty and crime statistics is unwed mothers raising children with no father figure. But yet the very system "designed to help" is actually paying mothers to stay single and penalizing fathers who want to take responsibility for their own children! It's feel good policy designed to keep the politicians in power by intentionally perpetuating the problem and creating more and more dependent cradle to grave poverty. To understand policy, it's necessary to study the results rather than fighting over the intentions.

 I didn't miss your point - you don't have a valid one wrt the system I described to you.  The company doesn't pay you for the mandatory leave; the legal requirement is that time off must be given and job must be protected so that you can return to it.  The company's permission is not required for the person to take parental leave.  It would be a grave and costly mistake for a company to even attempt to deny the parental leave. If a company wants to offer a greater incentive for employees such as 5 weeks of paid maternity leave to attract "the best and the brightest", they're still free to do that so I fail to see where there's no benefit in making the "investment".  The only way you're a schmuck (at least in the free world) is to continue with the misogynistic tone your company takes with respect to hiring women over men because... babies!

 And just to bolster my point about the land of productivity; America is a dinosaur when it comes to paid vacation (in fact, is no federal or state statutory minimum paid vacation or paid public holidays).  The only other countries that haven't mandated paid vacation yet are: Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, and Tonga.

 Speaking of welfare queens:

On Friday (02.07.2021) we launched an attack on MSP providers. More than a million systems were infected. If anyone wants to negotiate about universal decryptor – our price is 70 000 000$ in BTC and we will publish publicly decryptor that decrypts files of all victims, so everyone will be able to recover from attack in less than an hour. If you are interested in such deal – contact us using victims “readme” file instructions.

The PR is not great, but could potentially affect BTC rate if paid.

So if we've such a horrible system that doesn't mandate vacations, why do people from all over the world want to come to America? You said earlier that Romania and other EU countries are trying to encourage and subsidize paternity due to shrinking populations. This is so strange to me.

As to your point about Corporate Welfare, I agree, it's a serious problem that has no place in a free society.  It is one of many examples of our Constitutional Republic being destroyed by political greed. If we don't correct the course quickly I fear our Land of the Free that our forefathers fought and died to create will sink into abysmal death spiral called Corporate Oligarchy. They call it Progressive, I call it Unconstitutional Theft of Freedom & Public Funds.

Alright, underwent some health condition, but i'm OK now again. Nothing too serious, bit of headache, sore throat and short periods of cold shivers, but mainly fatigue.
It needed a lot of sleep to cure out.
I isolated myself from the family because of that single positive covid saliva test.
Did another one the day after which was unclear, because there was a positive test line, but very light, thus barely visible.
Testing twice yesterday returned negative results both times  
As of the nature of Antigen tests, i just might have caught one of the many other (common) corona viruses. These are said to deliver borderline results, which would match in my case. (EDIT: ...and all my kids got runny noses now, but all have tested negative to the antigen tests).

Good to be back again, didn't even check the bitcoin price within the last two or three days, so i was happy to see it at $35k+ today.
I'm doing hard to decide if i want to backread several days of WO or not  
Anything important i might have missed?

Glad to hear you're OK and back on WO duty!

From what I know, Rapid (antigen) tests are dependent on viral load. That's why the instructions say that the result is negative only if there is absolutely no positive test line visible. If there is even a very faint positive test line, the result should be considered positive. I guess your viral load may be very low. I've done about 10 Rapid (antigen) tests so far, and the positive lines were all completely clear, even under bright light with a magnifying glass.

Have you had the vaccine yet? If you do have the virus, maybe there's no need to get vaccinated now, but some time after the virus has cleared away. But when the time comes, I suggest you get vaccinated. Don't believe the crazy conspiracy theories about Bill Gates installing chips and nanoparticles in your body to control you via 5G and magnets (yes, there are people that actually believe this shit).

Thanks, thanks 
I use to rinse my mouth with List**ine, which cointains alcohol and reduces bacterial/viral load also in the throat area. That might have played a role there, too.

As it comes to vaccines, i am not vxxed yet, because i am waiting for a certain vaccine (VLA2001) based on sterilized sars-cov-2 virus, which should be available in autumn and deliver the best protection with the lowest risk of negative health reactions, also for longer times (5-10 years). A classic vaccine, just entered 3rd trial phase. I can barely wait to see results.
Before i get the shot i want to do an antibody test as well, but avoid experimental vaccines like mRNA at all cost. In the face of the approaching "D-variant" (a.k.a. "delta mutation") wave, i'm a little under pressure.

Once i was into conspiracy theories a little too deep, i'm no more into that shit now for almost 20 years
