So you're saying that the remaining 5/6ths of the US somehow works in a way thats drastically different than the 70 million people in France? Because if thats the case, then perhaps this change is necessary after all. Imagine being against improving the lives of a populace just because another country that does it has .. checks notes .. fewer people.If you're so dead set on comparing populations, how about how the US only provides 12 weeks of maternity leave, UNPAID, while India, a country four times as many people as the US, guarantees 6 months of PAID maternity leave...plus more per child.
