Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.

Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.

People saying that kids are important to society so we should allow parents extra flexibility, it rests on the assumption that what non parents would be doing with that flexible is less important to society. What if I'm giving blood, or helping an elderly parent, or volunteering at a homeless shelter? It's hardly the employers role to judge pass judgement on what is a worthwhile use of time.
Actually many companies offer time off for these kinds of activities. My current company does and I saw it in previous ones as well.
This sounds like a hypothetical, because if you were involved in those activities, you likely would know about it.
