Makes me wonder if ICE agents are so shunned irl as in media. Also, if they are so vicious, who risks calling them that? Also, is obesity really that bad in the US? The tourists and people who moved to my country from the US sure carry a bit (or a bit more) extra in most cases, but it can't be that bad, can it?

Most of europe has laws mandating a minimum number of vacation days, some have +3 / +5 extra if you have children. Almost every country (I lived in) has +5 days sick leave for people with kids (added to the base mandated for everyone) In germany you can deduct various child related expenses from your taxes (though you don't have those expenses at all if you do not have children). The list goes on... In the end these are the benefits mandated by the governments. On top of that, some companies add extra benefits (and this is the part, that does not make sense to me and feels like the real discrimination that shouldn't be there)

Easy. Companies themselves should not care about the employees families. They have no benefit from a person having children. Governments should very much care about people having children. All benefits - if any, should be decided on the goverment level. And companies will have to adhere to the law. Firms chase their own benefits. The goverment (should) work for the benefit (and future) of all citizens.

Well, yes and no. I fear this step opens the doors for furure claims on more land there. Not saying it will be Trump, but eventually someone might start claiming more land there, because "they maintain it", "they have military there" and "they already own parts" of the island anyway. Europe is letting US gain a foothold in Greenland. And once they get a piece, they will never let go. It's always the case for imperialism and neofascism - especially the type that is on the rise in the US
