Democrats will call this a fringe idea even though European countries already do it. The overton window has shifted; we consider far-right policy (like building a wall across the border) but we can't afford universal healthcare and parental leave.

    Hardly on it's own.

    A ton of money goes into telling Americans that they can't afford vacation or sick leave. Even as a ton more goes into telling us that AI will be replacing our jobs momentarily.

    edit: I don't mean they literally are working hard. I mean they stand against worker's rights.
