I don't have a problem with this except that the timing is a little off given current and very serious "transportation" issues. Looks like an example of real-life "political incorrectness." And, I think it's great that our Ruling Class has this options. Too bad the majority of everyday Americans do not.

Good for him. He is dedicated and still working via conference calls.
"Wouldn't it be wise for the secretary to get back on the bicycle, so to speak, and come back to work?" Emerald Robinson, a White House correspondent for the conservative site Newsmax, asked Psaki during a press briefing.
"He's at work," Psaki replied. "I was on a conference call with him this morning."

Psaki tells Newsmax reporter she's 'not going to apologize' for Pete Buttigieg taking paternity...
Buttigieg was "mostly offline" for four weeks after the arrival of his twins in mid-August, a spokesperson for the Department of Transportation said.

I absolutely do not have a problem with Secretary Buttigieg taking paternity leave. I do have a problem with his reported (alleged) decision to not name someone to act in his stead during paternity leave, AND with President Biden's non-decision to demand Secretary Buttigieg name someone to act as transportation secretary in the Secretary's absence.
If a position can be empty for two months, it begs the question; is the position necessary at all? To me the answer is yes, the position is necessary; and this is inexcusable lack of attention within the Biden administration.
