At some point, people commenting on current events is EXACTLY what happens around an office watercooler. I see it as a borderline call and I'm not that keen on keeping things exceedingly pure. So I will leave this one as-is, which should NOT be construed as me advising the other moderators that they couldn't move it if the spirit moved them to do so.
So these crazy people who speak and act as if babies just fly out of nowhere and abortions are the only way to plan your life - they finally figured out where babies come from?? It's about time. Abortion isn't the only way , in fact, most normal people don't have any abortions and still plan their family completely
It was probably easier to fire people then. It was in the 30's that Federal employees created a union. However it was in 1962 where they acquired collective bargaining rights. JFK signed the bill. That's when their salaries began to exceed those of the private sector and their benefits ballooned.
