Too bad they ain't North Korea, they could just gang-press people into being tech workers.

Why the sexism, women can hold and fire a gun just as well.

To be fair, that slogan is pretty popular in the whole region in general. They're maybe just joining the bandwagon.

That depends entirely on who you allow to define what qualifies as Hamas.

No, genocide, unlike privacy violations, is something Google didn't do on me.

Yet, hey, you never know what the future will bring.

If I cannot support what my employer does, I have to quit. Simple as that.

Fortunately I'm not weighed down by useless crap like a conscience. Quite seriously, that seems to be a really big problem when it comes to earning money. I can slowly get why CEOs generally don't bother with that crap.

Hey, if people get paid to hawk and peddle crap on the internet, why not to yell slogans?

In either case, you should not have too strong opinions about what crap you peddle or yell. There's a German proverb that would fit really well here: Whose bread I eat, those songs I sing.

And in this case, quite literally so.

Just so I know who to side with here, what marginalized group are we talking about? The Palestinians who get mowed down by the Israel army or the Jews that get blown to pieces by Hamas?

The tragedy in this whole farce is that the ones that could make peace don't want it and the ones that would want peace can't make it.

Well, when you hire people based on their strong political opinions rather than their strong skill set, you should not be surprised when they actually use it.

Duh.

People will start to think like professional athletes: I have to earn a life's wage by the time I'm 35, because after that I won't have an income anymore.

So you better start paying me better.

Predicting something that's constantly changing isn't easy, I hope that's not too hard to grasp.

Going by what we can observe, what even I can say is that the outlook isn't that good. Then again, I hope the planet will last another 30 years. I don't have no kids and my remaining life expectancy is about that many years, so ... why the fuck should I care?

If you're younger and/or have kids... you should.

If it makes you feel better, call it a "weather crisis". Tomeeto, tomaato.

What matters is that the whole shit is getting out of hand as we're watching.

We can do more than one thing at a time. A government is composed of multiple people after all.

In terms of government pending, there's priorities but also diminishing returns. For example, you could try cutting everything except your top 3 items. But those top 3 items aren't necessarily going to get done faster or better proportional to massive amount spent. NASA's budget is about a third of a percent of the US federal budget. It's small potatoes, and yields a fair bit in return for science and education. We could 10X it and it would still be a smaller slice than it was in the 1960. (some where around 4%). And I'm not sure we're get 10X more science or education out of it. At 4% you do get quite a bit of political clout, but the US is not currently looking for more. (we've been burning it with or Presidential choices in the last 20th and early 21st century)

You likely have every right to operate your private business that way. Assuming you own it or the board approved the policy. It's a tough way to go if you're trying to hire though. Getting too specific really narrows the talent pool you can choose from.

They can also express those concerns in an overt way that communicates to their coworkers what this is about and how they feel about it, even if it disturbs the office. Because we live in a free country and not everyone has to be a nice door mat. But also there is no protection from retaliation, so they lost their job and they aren't going to get a court to undo that.
