    This is way bigger than just Israel, most of the Gulf Arab states hate Iran and would love to see its government fall. They’ve been funnelling literally billions of dollars to the Trump family since just before he took office again. The Qataris, Emiratis, Bahrainis, and Saudis are all openly bribing Trump, and this attack is almost certainly at least partially, if not mostly, driven by their talks with Trump behind the scenes.



  • Yes, I know my experience is far from universal in the US, but I’ve never had a job where I didn’t have decent PTO. Even working grocery and retail when I was young it was pretty good. Later for a hospital system I was getting 26 days + 9 paid holidays. Now I get 28 days + 11 paid holidays. These PTO policies apply to everyone too, from housekeeping to maintenance to licensed staff.

    I haven’t looked into it, but don’t quite a few US states and localities also have their own PTO laws? I very much wish the US had federal laws in this regard, because I know there are many bad actors employing people
