wondering when the “unitary executive” peeps are going to freak the fuck out about having a co-president who’s a private citizen who now has control over Treasury systems that disburse trillions of dollars in federal funds, and all of the private data that goes along with that 🧐🧐🧐

How D.C. tackled a child care crunch through a tax hike on the rich In Washington, D.C., a tax on residents earning more than $250,000 a year is boosting the wages of child care workers. Two years in, it's proving to be a great investment.

So how much do employees pay for paid leave?
For a minimum wage worker, they will only pay $1.48 a week
For a median wage worker, they will only pay $3.25 a week

That’s less than a cup of coffee a week.
