  > What's more disgusting is the US has no law regarding paid parental leave[1]. Nearly every other country in the world does. If your company is giving you paid parental leave in the US, it's actually a nice benefit! This is somewhat true, and somewhat misleading: the US national government has a more limited role than many other national governments, with much that would be done by national governments in other nations being done by state governments in the US. Several US States -- perhaps most relevant to HN, given the tech industry focus, California is among them -- do have paid parental leave requirements (whether its directly employer paid or paid through disability insurance.)
