It’s an unprecedented – and massive – experiment: Since 2017 the U.S.-based charity GiveDirectly has been providing thousands of villagers in Kenya what’s called a “universal basic income” – a cash grant of about $50, delivered every month, with the commitment to keep the payments coming for 12 years. It is a...
Can’t wait for someone to dismiss a 12 year study over their feelings that this is wrong. Undoubtedly accompanied by “Don’t they have bootstraps in Kenya, pick yourself up!”
I’m in a situation with my manager who is suggesting that clock-in starts when the employee arrives to the site of work. Effectively saying that everyone should be coming in 15 minutes earlier than their start time....
2014 unanimous Supreme Court case says that they do not need to be paid. State law may require otherwise though. Believe there was a PA case recently that ruled they did need to be paid.
Who is they? Hamas didn’t win a majority in the 2006 election. Then they fought a civil war and took autocratic control in 2007. So what are you talking about when you say they? It certainly isn’t all Gazans or Palestinians.
You’re championing genocide and the wholesale slaughter of civilians. Do you honestly believe that a terrorist attack allows the unrestrained murder of civilians?
The general Gazan population was given weeks of advance notice and provided safe/r places to evacuate to. If 100% of the civilians had chosen to cooperate, and Hamas had not forcibly used them as human shields, then there would be no casualties.
So any country can say all civilians in an area must leave immediately. And if they don’t, it’s ok to indiscriminately murder civilians? Are you insane?
IDF is actually attempting to minimize casualties whenever possible.
They most certainly are not. They have bombed hospitals and refugee camps after claiming that Hamas terrorists were among them. That’s a war crime.
Intent is satisfied by reckless disregard for known dangers, if you really want to go down the legal route.
How do you strike a balance between being present in the moment and planning for the future?
What do you like about socialism?

Mandatory security check followed by a long travel to area of work. When do you clock in?

What's the significance of calling it "Israel-Hamas War" vs "Israel-Gaza War"?
