NEW YORK (Nettavisen): A prominent venture capitalist is now receiving strong criticism after he portrays fathers who take several months of paternity leave as losers.

The background for the statement is the US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, the first openly gay minister in the country, who this summer became the father of a girl and a boy.

Buttigieg has been on paternity leave since August, and he was recently back at work after taking two months off.

But that did not stop the famous venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale from saying the following.
– Any man in an important position who takes leave for six months is a loser. In the old days, the man had children and worked harder to secure their future – that is the right masculine response, says Lonsdale, who is a co-founder of the company Palantir and has a fortune of around 3.5 billion Norwegian kroner.

Lonsdale’s message on Twitter was a comment to podcast host Joe Rogan, who is also critical of Buttigieg’s paternity leave.
Over ten CEOs so far today trolling me by explaining they are about to take six months off to spend with their families. Love you guys.
Nothing is more important than our families*. Am excited to get home to Tayler and my girls tmrw after a short trip.
*(But really, 6 months?)

Rogan says in his podcast that men should not be paid to take paternity leave.
– The idea that both parents should be paid leave at the same time is very strange, says Rogan.
Also in the studio was stand-up comedian Bridget Phetasy, who believes men in the United States should be paid to take time off with their children right after they are born.

Among other things, she referred to her relatives in Germany, where both men and women receive maternity leave.
– It is fantastic. Do you want to live in Germany? Because in America you have to work, he says Rogan in the podcast.

Make fun of Buttigieg
Another person who reacts to Buttigieg’s leave, and who makes a direct mockery of the Minister of Transport, is the popular and controversial TV host Tucker Carlson on Fox News. He tells his own channel that Buttigieg “is trying to figure out how to breastfeed”.

One of the reasons why both Lonsdale, Rognan and Tucker Carlson are attacking Buttigieg’s paternity leave is that he is Minister of Transport and that there are currently major problems with transport and the supply chain in the US, as is also the case in several places in Europe.

– As any sensible person has noticed, inflation is rising because the authorities have devalued the US dollar by making too many of them.
– They are like sand now, it is not worth much. But still, it does not look like the White House is concerned, says Tucker Carlson.

– But now he is back in the office as Minister of Transport and he is having fun, he says himself, by looking at the dozens of container ships that are unable to get into the country, Tucker says on Fox News.
The statements of Tucker Carlson have according to Daily Mail led to massive criticism of the controversial TV host, and some have even accused him of homophobia.

Biden: Majority for giant package
President Joe Biden has been in Congress to gather support for a downgraded package on climate change and social reform, and the announced measures will cost $ 1.7 trillion.

– Nobody got everything they wanted, not even me, but that’s what compromise is about. This is what is called consensus, and I put it to the election, Biden said after the visit to Congress.

Furthermore, he called the framework for the reform package “historic.”
– It will fundamentally change the lives of millions of people for the better. Let’s get it done, the president said.
The package is heavily downgraded compared to the first draft.
Think he has support
When Biden arrived at Congress Thursday morning, US time, he was asked if he had enough support to get the package passed.
– Yes, the president replied, before he went to meet the representatives.
Biden wants to get an agreement in place before he travels during Thursday to attend the G20 meeting and the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
The hope is to get all the Democrats in the Senate involved. The party has the smallest possible majority in the assembly, and all the party’s 50 senators must vote yes to get the measures approved.

Two skeptical Democrats
No Republicans in the assembly will cooperate with Biden’s government, and all are expected to vote against. On the Democratic side, Sen. Joe Manchin of the West Virginia coal state in particular is skeptical.

“This is in the hands of the House of Representatives now,” he said after Biden left Congress.
Another skeptic on the Democratic side is Senator Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona. She was more optimistic.
“I look forward to having this done,” she said.
Inspired by new deal
Despite major changes from the original proposal, the package is called the biggest social reform in many years. Biden has been inspired by the new deal policy from the 1930s and the great society policy from the 1960s.

The White House believes this is the largest investment in climate policy ever, and the largest investment in health policy in at least ten years.
Nevertheless, there is great frustration on the left in the Democratic Party. Many of their most important political projects have been removed or sharply reduced.

Among other things, they have been approved for extra funds for the hearing impaired in the Medicare health scheme, but not for extra funds for the visually impaired and dental health.
In addition to the climate and social package, Biden will try to get through an infrastructure package of almost 1,000 billion dollars next week.
According to CNN, there will be no vote in the House of Representatives on President Joe Biden’s major infrastructure package before the weekend. Thus, the climate and social package will probably have to wait. The congress has now taken a weekend, reports CNN.
