Not technically, but your employer can hire someone to do your job while you're striking. The result is that when the strike is over, your job is filled and instead of going back to work, you are placed at the top of the rehire list for whenever that job becomes available again.
First time I'm hearing about this. A quick search shows this list of companies Muslims are/should boycott, and Costco is not listed.
There is also this source I found claiming that while there is a single Costco warehouse in one Israeli city:
"Costco has publicly stated its commitment to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which recognizes the right of both Israelis and Palestinians to self-determination. The company has also expressed its support for the efforts of organizations such as the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to provide humanitarian aid and support to Palestinians."
If you have some information I'm not seeing, feel free to share.
So the implication, not letter, of the 2nd ammendment gives US citizens the right to shoot cops if they are acting as an extension of a tyrannical state. I wonder if there is a case to be made that this executive order infringes on the constitution.Of course, I don't expect any 2A stans to care.
In 2023, Hondurans sent $8.97b back to their country from their jobs in the US. That same year, the country's GDP was $34.40b.Doesn't seem very crazy to want to protect 26% of your country's income.
Chickpeas, mushrooms, tomato paste, taco seasonings, fat of your choice (butter if you aren't vegan)
Bake the chickpeas and then smash them, mince the mushrooms. Bring together and sautee in olive oil with tomato paste, seasonings, incorporating your fat. Add salt to taste.
Makes a fantastic taco filling. Garnish with whatever you like.
I understand your sentiment. Can I ask you to consider a scenario?
Imagine a company needs to hire a new employee. They have 9 white men, and need a 10th person. Whoever is hiring may not think they are prejudiced, but they need to consider how the new hire will fit in with the existing team.They may be worried about how hiring a qualified woman will upset the dynamic. A qualified Hispanic with an accent may be overlooked if the hiring manager is concerned about their English skills. Any number of reasons that may not even be conscious, but influence the decision to hire another white man.
Do you think it is possible for DEI practices to ensure diverse and qualified candidates? Why does hiring a non-white have to mean they are less qualified? If we instead start with the assumption that qualified candidates exist from many backgrounds, hiring them in proportion to their representation in the population doesn't seem like a crazy idea.
I don't know about that. Both of my cats would be dead if not for pet insurance. One needed a $10k surgery this summer that I was able to afford because of my pet insurance. The other had $4k of surgeries the year before. Both instances my insurance covered 70%. Neither of my cats are much more than 5 years old, just bad luck with their health.
Nothing happened when we did.
