This is when I like to remind Redditors that the EU doesn't guarantee same-s*x marriage. Redditors :marseysoylentgrin: then respond that it's an unfair comparison because the EU isn't a form of federalism (false) and that most EU residents have it.
That's the trap, though. I want them to admit that it's dumb to care about federal-level guarantees when the important question is whether people functionally get the right.
The majority of Americans have parental leave:
https://www.bls.gov/ebs/factsheets/family-leave-benefits-fact-sheet.htm
You could complain that it's unpaid, but the Euro-US pay gap is so large that you really don't want to start that line of debate. !burgers
Literally 100% of Americans could have paid parental leave through states, and expert Redditors would still complain that it isn't federally guaranteed.

I have in other subs, but doing it in Two X is just a recipe for a ban. I don't have any Reddit accounts with the right pedigree to post to Two X.

the median wage gap between wealthy euro states and the us is real, though

That's my point. :marseymoidteach:  People can debate the paid vs. unpaid leave topic, but US wages are so much higher that most individuals are better off with a US salary and unpaid parental leave.

Okay, so you might be missing my point, which is that you can't compare selected parts of Europe to the whole US. Either compare (1) parts of Europe to parts of the US or (2) all of Europe (or even just the EU) to all of the US. The fact that the US and Finland each get one vote at the UN doesn't make them comparable for almost any other purpose.
If I can cherry pick parts of the US (rather than all of it), those US regions will stomp even the best national/regional median wages in Europe.

Yep.
Compare Nordic wages w/ NY wages or something.

Or to australia?
