From our experience in the US, the birth is nothing compared to the financial drain of the other expenses. And at this age, childcare dwarfs all the other child-related expenses.
We have great insurance and don't rely on family for childcare though, so the math is very very different for someone with "free" familial childcare and no/lousy insurance...
I don't know how compensation works in academic administration, but if there's any vesting going on then you could "take a pay cut" but end up making more due to previous compensation vesting.
Certainly possible for public companies, but again, unsure if that could be the case for a university president...
My understanding is that this is precisely why they have lifetime appointments
a judge can turn around and piss off those who appointed them and there's little recourse, because they'll never be up for election again (similar to the nominal purpose of academic tenure).

Anything can use it, but I think by convention it's used for http on a non-privileged port.
That...is not how most people view breaks. Especially if you're into sports, which a pretty large chunk of the world is (just a hunch, but I'm guessing you're not).
Not the "trickle down" that we were promised, but at least this trickle down is real?
I mean, vigorous physical exercise is one of the most mentally relaxing activities, in a way (at least for me). Go for a 100km bike ride in hilly terrain, push yourself on the climbs, and just kind of let your mind wander. It's not edible-and-David-Attenborough relaxing, but it is relaxing in its own way.
Scully and Mulder would not put up with this shit.
No I'm pretty sure Strictly Ballroom is a completely accurate portrayal of ballroom dancing.
