The time for war mongerers was .. Never.
Mfw I am agreeing with people I find very disagreeable.
While also staying ready to defend. Not aggress, defend.
Looks like Israel-US are the principal source for instability in the area, to me.
Plus they killed the last people who were telling.
Unfortunately, it's pretty common reaction from a people who's government has actively sown division amongst themselves, as well as anything/anyone foreign. It's understandable and regrettable. I'd like to see a lot less division among regular people of the world, personally.
If you're posting in good faith, maybe just lurk more, get a feel for the place. If you aren't posting in good faith, that's on you.
There's definitely a cultural disconnect. The culture of being open in the West about salary is within the workplace, to encourage fair wages (not that it works, but it can). In case you're asking in good faith, outside the workplace, it's considered rude to ask, rude to offer the information if seen as braggadocios. It's still a little rude if the salary is below livable wages, because it makes people making more uncomfortable. And maybe it should.

It's a good read, parks bigger than Florida. Ambitious goals. I'd like to visit.
