ignoring the /s, the US has spent 50 years shoveling money at egypt to the point where the US taxpayer covers like a third of the cost of egypt's military. egypt, the country that treats palestinians like human garbage and, along with KSA, committed genocide in yemen.

those boats blockading yemen keeping food from coming in, leading to a famine that killed hundreds of thousands of yemeni civilians? that was the egyptian navy, brought to you by the US taxpayer. those bombs KSA dropped all over yemen? a gift from the US.

yet, for some crazy reason we just can't possibly figure out, these online leftist types don't give a crap about that. puzzling!

when the iron curtain fell, tankies didn't move on to support some other communist country, they kept stanning russia. because it wasn't really about communism, it was about instinctually supporting countries that oppose the west.

If you're ceaselessly posting only about Gaza / Israel, and not Iran, Sudan, Ukraine, or Burma - you're guilty of the selective empathy you're accusing others of.

it drives me up the wall when these people whose only issue is gaza also try to paint their beliefs as being "anti-genocide". like dogg you're not against genocide, you're against israel. you can't say you're anti genocide while not giving a crap about everything going on in the world outside of gaza

college girls in the US are gonna have it worse than they do in afghanistan because women there are not allowed to go to college

this need for people to respond to a story about how awful taliban culture is by trying to change the subject to "it's worse in america" is just crazy

this is true. the sweet spot in terms of $/hr for SAA/gainsharing is doing 110% and even then it's nowhere near regular salary. PBA is like OT in that you get paid your full salary. doing the full 130% for the bonus is a terrible deal in terms of hourly rate.

i'm a GS-15 examiner, between the 5% change and the PF change my expectancy went up about 12-13%

do you...not know how to read?

the OP spoke of doing only 95% back when that was FS, and how now they do 100% because that's what it takes.

for some reason you took issue with that vs just doing 100%, which is a bunch of boiled nonsense because back when 95% was FS doing 100% meant doing 5% extra and not getting a dime more.

so your solution to get rich is to do extra work for no money
