Many people don't think all of the goodies you mentioned for workers are things they should have rights to. Why is a company responsible for your decision to have kids? That makes no sense. If CA wants to make up said rights then it has to suffer the consequences. The only way this logic makes sense to me is when it comes to environmental issues which everyone suffers the externalities.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoI consider taxpayer funded healthcare needed by a child due to the child's mother not being able to breastfeed due to needing to work all the time an externality. Employers also do not need to be responsible for people's decision to have children. Parental leave can be paid for by the government. However, in the current economic system, retaining one's ability to earn income may need to be protected by the state and involve employers having to do something. Maybe with a universal basic income, employers can be completely left out of the equation.

That makes perfect sense. If CA wants to uphold said rights then it gets to reap the benefits. The only way this logic does not make sense to me is when it comes to environmental issues from which everyone suffers.
