The business of Childbirth: Part Two

The numbers are in ladies and gentlemen. The final cost of having a baby as an Opposite of Dog employee with plan A (They give us a choice of plans, yeah right! It's more like: do you want to be fucked in the ass with the 7-inch or the 12-inch dildo?):


$1029.81 Total out of my pocket expense

That's $4372.15 for Mom.

And an additional $1926.00 for baby.

So 1029.81 is about 1.6% of my salary. Now say the Supreme Overlord of Opposite of Dog were to incur the same expense due to, I don't know, having a hangnail surgically removed. It would be .03% of his salary since he makes 2.54 million dollars. That's not including his capital gains from his stock options. All you Opposite of Dog employees should take a look at how much the corporate officers make on a monthly basis from stock option sales . (It's public information)

I would think it would open your eyes to how much these people care about money, and how little they really care about you and your family. It's in the millions (nearly every month). Yet they want us to help reduce the company healthcare costs by paying our own money, to improve the bottom line, to make the stock go up, so they can make more bloody money. We are making them money and losing our own in the process. How much is enough? Am I the only one who gets mad about these things?

"America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve." -Tom Morello former guitar player of Rage Against the Machine

Still haven't given a new baby gift? There's still time!.
