Welcome back to Frown Town! This week, Vee and J talk about how the United States is one of only seven countries that doesn\'t have legislated paid leave, how this week it was removed from potential legislation that would have enacted it and why it was removed.

Special thank you to FCON for loaning us their song Liquid Fury for our intro! Their bandcamp: https://fcon206.bandcamp.com/track/fcon.
