REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still:
- Has his job
- Gets paid, and
- Gets free world-class healthcare
The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave, is getting all three when he needs it most. Every person deserves the human dignity McConnell is getting on the taxpayer dime. Anything less is shameless cruel hypocrisy.
As someone that had to take abrupt and extended medical leave and pretty much disappeared from my office for months: Americans should riot every day all day until they get real, significant and payed medical leave with job protections. (And no bullshit with sick days, as I could plan when and how long I will be sick…)
