I’m not sure if they still do but you used to be able to hold two passports simultaneously. One that was ‘clean’ for countries that didn’t recognise Israel and another for Israel.

No, the way they treat the lowest rungs on the ladder is atrocious.

Then there’s what they’re doing to commerce, they’re Walmart 2.0. Slowly and methodically choking the life out of every other retailer.

Could you put you resume up somewhere, anonymized with an email address you could be contacted on?

If you’re happy with 90-95% WFH we’d be happy to take a look and see if you’re a fit for us based solely on experience.

A submarine is not a nuclear powered weapon, or even a weapon unless they’re going to be using them to ram adversaries
