Why doesn't the US have mandated paid maternity leave?

The US is the only rich nation offering no national paid parental-leave programme. Why is that – and could it change?

    Inside america are two americas. One is full of people pretending this place doesn’t suck shit the other is little piggies who roll around in the shit and love it.

    The real answer: a lot of america never fully industrialized and high birth rates in some places are part of that.

      This makes a lot of sense since poor non industrialized places tend to have a higher fertility rate. Do you have something for me to read about it?

      Thanks
