Israeli is a democracy so we know these allegations will be investigated fairly and impartially.

I wonder how I would feel about that, if I was alone at home, and lonely.

Would it cheer me that people were reaching out and ringing my doorbell?

Or would it make me sad because I would be reminded that there was not a friend ringing at the door?

I'd like my doorbell camera to have a cat detector and a meow detector so when my cats meow at the door, it rings the doorbell. My cats have gps collars and distinctive fur and meows, so it could double check so other cats can't spam me. That way each cat could have its own distinctive ring (like their distinctive meow, amplified).

Please, It's much safer to keep them indoors where they can't kill songbirds, crap on the neighbours kids lawn or get run over.

noticed how spam has that utility for many elderly (which further incentivizes the abuse)

Or an even worse idea: What if ads started ringing your doorbell suddenly?

Did you grow up wealthy? If yes, it was probably that and not the teachers.

Nope. My family was below the poverty line at one point.

I think the kids who get to go to camp or Israel for free are beneficiaries. It's not like all of the money goes to executives' salaries, right?

Yeah, why would we pay top dollar for top talent and then hold that talent to high standards? That certainly doesn’t work in any other profession.

If you are paying top dollar for top talent, then you are not overpaying anyone.

If you can read, thank a teacher!

When you underpay teachers, people who hate teaching, and hate being teachers, will become teachers because all the people that had better options did something else.

That means overpayment is wrong and underpayment is wrong.

Teachers should be paid the correct amount, no more and no less.

I love how it took three comments to arrive at a tautology.

And then you will have people who absolutely love teaching, and are willing to live in poverty to do so, speckled around that cess pool of mediocrity. It reminds me of high school actually.

When you overpay CEOs, people who hate leading, and hate being CEOs, will become CEOs for the money.

Is a good idea to select the people who hate leading to become CEOs?

You say that as though it’s an option

CEO is selected by the investors for whoever will side with the investors 100% of the time over every other group including employees

What you suggest would subvert this and so it won’t and can’t happen

This was far more of an option in the 1980s and earlier; a CEO being compensated 20-30x a line employee was pretty standard around then; now it's closer to 250-300x. I think there's more optionality than we may assume, we've just left the structural incentives that drive that difference in place.

We call this new movement “involuntary CEO”. Bob you’re now it.

Yes

This is true of every single job.

Teachers are high in big five trait agreeableness which means they typically don't negotiate on their own behalf

Teachers usually outsource negotiations to their unions and therefore largely cannot negotiate on their own behalf, even if they wanted to.

You made an assertion that is based in fantasy, and then asked a question based on this silly assertion. Just wow.

Absolutely dumb take. There are plenty of very bright and talented people that would have made excellent teachers but chose different career paths because - surprise surprise - the pay is better.

not sure why you're getting downvoted. Jonathan Greenblatt - of the ADL - has explicitly said that they're doing this.

As a RF expert, I can assure you that is not possible. And basic common sense should tell you why.

It's AM radio that gets interfered with.

It's not likely, but if you're an expert I'm sure you could think of a few ways it would be possible. The reason we give people with pacemakers a list of machines to avoid is definitely not to waste their time because there is no possible way any of those things could be dangerous to them.

I mean, more or less, we do. The NIH list includes cell phones, e-cigarettes, and headphones.

As an RF expert I can assure you that I could create a device to wirelessly interfere with a pacemaker. A pathological one, maybe, but the point remains: regulation is needed.

The question is whether such interference could be created by a device as a by-product of its normal operation, not by a weapon that's intended to cause harm.

Isn't it a more reasonable explanation that the IDF deliberately had this school bombed because those schoolgirls were the children of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers?

The intentional murder of enemy children is a tactic of the IDF. They've done it for decades.

That theory seems unhinged to me. Somebody is divorced from reality. Hopefully not me.

There are rumors that the IRGC has started to recruit adolescents (again). I'd have an easier time believing that, but where the Middle East is concerned, there is an endless amount of propaganda and hyperbole, so I don't automatically believe what I read. Pardon my condescension, but it would make the comments sections better if everyone did likewise.

kakacik's razor - Never attribute to incompetence of IDF/Mosad that which is adequately explained by laser focus intent to murder and exterminate enemy at all costs, via all avenues, all is allowed.

While some naysayers might claim the US has entered the FO stage after the commencement of FA, I have full faith in the ability of great minds like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to navigate the sea of uncertainty and achieve strategic victory!

You forgot to put a /s at the end.

Two more kills and that pilot will be an ace!

an ace from friendly fire is still an ace
