@[email protected] is right; presidents cannot pardon state level crimes: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S2-C1-3-1/ALDE_00013316/
Specifically, the offense must be “against the United States”, and state level offenses are only against the respective state, not the United States.
My first thought is that this entire article reads like a camouflaged press release from Meta.
The source for the article seems to be an anonymous, internal leak, but those “leaks” are often from the company itself as a way to send a message while maintaining plausible deniability.
My second thought is that they are grouping together wildly different types of infractions without saying how many people were guilty of each one. It’s possible that one person was committing outright fraud while everyone else was just accused of a minor technicality.
Finally, the accusation of “pooling” funds seems like a big tell. That’s what you should want the employees to do to save the company money. Without specific details about why that was wrong this sounds more like a gotcha than a legitimate reason to fire someone.
All of these together make this article seem like a way of scaring employees into resigning so they can cut the workforce without being subject to WARN act requirements.
You’re right that they don’t mesh with Judaism.
They also don’t mesh with Christianity.
The religion aspect of it is completely hollow; just a front used to mask being a hate group.
That’s a fair point; my statement was probably too strong.
Finer grained distinctions absolutely do matter, I just think they are overshadowed by the difference between working class and wealthy class.
Exactly this.
The only meaningful class distinction is working class/wealthy class.
Working class is anyone who has to work for their income whereas wealthy class is anyone whose wealth generates enough income for them on its own.
It’s possible to move from working class to wealthy class, after all people do actually do that, but it’s exceptionally rare because it’s exceptionally difficult.
Discipline alone isn’t enough, as you also have to be lucky enough to avoid things like major medical issues, bad market timing, and other financial headwinds that are out of your control.
You can’t use genetics to track ancestry; especially not over the course of thousands of years.
Every generation loses roughly half the genetic information from the previous one, so even an ancestor from a few hundred years ago is unlikely to share much, if any, DNA with you (aside from the DNA that’s common to everyone).
I assume the point of this article is to point out that claims of rights to what is now called “Israel” as an ancestral homeland are bullshit, but that’s the wrong way to make that argument.
The concept of rights to an ancestral homeland are in fact bullshit, but don’t point to pseudoscientific race science to prove it.
Instead, just point out that almost every person on earth has ancestors who lived there so ancestry doesn’t give you any more rights to that land than anyone else.
Joe Biden ‘discussing’ possible Israeli strikes on Iran oil facilities
Casually discussing committing war crimes... civilian energy infrastructure is not a valid military target.
Why are you pretending that is some sort of gotcha?
Diplomats communicating with their nation’s allies does not make them legitimate military targets.
Try bending at the first finger joints instead of at the knuckles.
The Michigan Uncommitted movement isn’t why Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Georgia, and Nevada, nor why he won the popular vote by almost 4 million votes.
Every single third party vote could be given to Harris and Trump would still win.
No one claiming the uncommitted voters cost Harris the election actually has evidence to back that up.
Instead, they’re just using the election as an excuse to push the racism and bigotry that they wanted to push regardless of how the election turned out.
