be able to cut back those hours or they ll be able to not take that job. you imagine where a man would like to be a state at home father but h ecan t because the job gives him health care. they have enough money but they need the health care. he can cut back to part time and be a stay at home dad. the argument being here is that we should force people to keep working longer hours through a kind of deprivation, right? it would be similar if we say, we re going to implement a policy, the implication being we re going to implement a policy, we take $10,000 out of the bank account of every american. now they can t feed their families anymore, they work longer hours. if you think that could be great for the country, then you would be very worried about this report for healthcare. that actually is the republican policy as expressed in repeal the affordable care act. and also ite would in
becoming obsolete. i love men. i love men. here is what they are saying. they are failing in the workplace, traditional household is vanishing. men lost their monopoly of violence and aggression. now obsessed with body hair? take it away. in a lot of ways men kind of we do feel obsolete. women doing a lot of things, out of the house more, working harder, working 80 hours a week. sometimes you feel emasculated by a woman bringing home more than you. i don t. i want to be a stay at home dad. i want the kids and working and i m home. obsolete. a lot of people i know think i m obsolete. the thing is, i think, women in the workplace today are taking over. they are. they are also accepting less money as the glass ceiling they say, try and equalize that.
certainly not prepared. this is the first time for me ever dipping my toe in the political world. it s exciting. again, still humbling. mayor elect joe pollino on the phone with me. mr. mayor elect, congratulations. you with me? thank you very much, brooke. thanks for having me on. you re welcome. you got 557 votes out of 596 cast. that doesn t sound like an accident. did you campaign as a write-in? how did you pull this off? i did. i did campaign as a write-in. initially, i was, you know, running for council, for the village. and when both mayors dropped out, i chose to run as a write-in candidate. so there was some effort put before to get as a write-in. it was very, very exciting that so many people turned out. joe, you, as i mentioned, you re a stay-at-home dad.
as i had, too. the only reason i changed my mind is that i talked to experts, physicists in particular, who were the pioneers of nuclear energy. and who carefully, one by one, explained to me again and again, until it finally got through my head, why it wasn t what the anti-nuclear activists felt it was, believed it was. and you can see pandora s promise tonight, 9:00 p.m. eastern, right here on cnn. he is the new mayor-elect, i should a, in marvin, north carolina. his name wasn t even on the baled. we ll talk with stay-at-home dad joe pollino, next. n, we got a subaru. it s where she said her first word. (little girl) no! saw her first day of school. (little girl) bye bye! made a best friend forever.
you re quoted by the union county weekly as saying, let me quote you, i m not sure commercial development in marvin is necessary. we should be more concerned with preserving what we have than building more stores and creating more traffic issues. is this a winning message there in the ex-burbs of charlotte? i think so. i think there s a lot of reasons many people move down to our area, is to get out of the, you know, the hustle bustle city life. if you go one way a couple miles, you re into the city. if you go another way a couple miles, you re into a nice rural community with open spaces and places for horses, for bike riding, all those things. the walmarts and all those places are quite frankly close enough to us, and i would like to see it you know, there is still build-out left. we re about 80% built out, but i would prefer more of a boutique-ish type commercial standing going forward. stay at home dad turned mayor elect, joe pollino.
