  • In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup d’etat in Iran that ousted a democratically elected premier and restored a religious extremist dictator shah to power. Meanwhile, the Zionist movement has been supported by western countries since its founding. In addition to US and European countries, the Saudi royal family and OPEC countries have been doing all sorts of fuckery, with the support of western countries and especially western oil companies. This is more complicated than “Isreal strong” and “Arab bad.”

    One soldier interviewed by Haaretz said that the oversight of the food distribution by the Israeli forces was referred to as “Operation Salted Fish,” a reference to the Israeli version of the children’s game “Red light, green light.” By all appearances, this name is based on the Korean television series Squid Game. In the fictional series, contestants are forced to play the children’s game “red light, green light,” with those who move before the “green light” being shot with live bullets.


















  • “At will” and “right to work” are two different laws. You accurately described “at will employment.” “Right to work” laws make it illegal for unions to mandate the dues that you would pay them. It effectively defunding and disempowering unions.

    According to Wikipedia, “In the context of labor law in the United States, the term right-to-work laws refers to state laws that prohibit union security agreements between employers and labor unions. Such agreements can be incorporated into union contracts to require employees who are not union members to contribute to the costs of union representation.”
