I imagine that technicality is going to be that it was (apparently) Israeli police not IDF.

true hourly rate for any given job is what you can hire someone to do it for.

Exactly. That's how a free market works.

Too late, sorry.

Yeah, that adds important context... and makes it worse.

He's actually offering $30/hr and topping out at $40/hr. When the paragraph I quoted indicates that tha top rate should be about $50/hr.

Either way, it's another case of an employer complaining that the labour pool market is wrong.

There's lots of good explanations of what the US Constitution allows... but they don't actually matter!

No matter which branch of government (executive, judicial, or legislature) have the power to "do away with pardons" the same has the power to bring them back.

In parliamentary systems this is called the "supremacy of parliament".

So even if Biden could issue an executive order to stop pardons then Trump can just executive order them back.

Alternatively: don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

At this point, restarting the Manhattan project in Springfield Ohio probably wouldn't be enough.

The Library of Babel Jorge Luis Borges (1941)

A good read.

 

So, our government's "crack down on beneficiaries" also includes disabled children.

Apparently disabled people are, what? Leaches sucking the life out of the economy or something?

How long until disabled people have to "work" for their support? Or perhaps we should just put them on a train and take them to a "work camp"?
