I think any policy made on assumptions is poor policy. There are employers that offer unlimited sick days. How could that be if people always take the maximum amount of time off? We know people feel compelled to come to work while ill. Absenteeism is hard to measure and quantify, and if it is being driven by factors like environmental hazards or actual medical illness then simply restricting paid leave is unlikely to fix the productivity problem and may actually make it worse.
So, good policy should show a) how many days off people get b) how many they actually take c) how many can be shown to be due to medical issues (seriously ill people will seek medical attention, even in America, and that can be quantified). If these basic data are lacking, then the policy has about as much a chance of succeeding as throwing darts in the dark.

Is this days taken or days available to take?

Gonna be kinda hard for him to support revoking birthright citizenship and sterilizing foreign visitors to America. Or maybe it won’t be. He sure does hate Cubans.

Huh? From your own link
- organic farmers use different kinds of pesticide if they use pesticide
- they need to use non-pesticide methods first, and any pesticide use is heavily regulated
- while some of the organic and limited synthetic pesticides could and do have potential human health implications, the vast majority of the synthetic pesticides used on conventional produce are widely recognized as probably having some damaging impacts on humans eating produce contaminated by them.
As a result
- Conventional vegetables were contaminated with 2 to 17 times as many pesticides as were organic vegetables. Conventional fruits were contaminated with 6–75 times as many pesticides as organic fruits.
- The dietary risk index was more than 50 times higher for conventional vegetables than for organic vegetables, and more than 130 times higher for conventional fruits.
Don’t both sides this. The person saying buying organic is just raising your grocery bill without changing your pesticide exposure or risks is objectively, factually wrong.
