Oh look, leftists are brigading the thread now! Hi y'all :)

3% of $120k is $3,600 20 years of $3,600 is $72,000

This is beyond the range stated.

Having worked for years in IT for a municipal service, our standard formula was a raise of 0% to 3% based on a performance rating, with 0% being "you're on a PIP and going to be fired soon" and 3% being a top-performer.

This is speculation at this point - but I would assume NYC works against a similar system.

> In multiple cases, these were not parents, or didn't even have kids in the schools they were protesting.

What if I have a significant other and we intend on having kids next year? Or in 5 years? We don't wish to move to a new district. What if we have nieces, nephews, cousins, or family that teach in the district but are too afraid to speak out for fear of reprisal? What if we have grand children, or volunteer with children in the district?

What if I am simply being taxed to pay for public servants who know preach topics I find morally reprehensible?

What if I simply recognize that "the children are our future" and so have a both legitimate self-interest and extrinsic-interest in seeing my version of what is right and wrong being promulgated?

Just please stop - this is obvious-as-all-hell political flame-bait.

Gotta “Save Our Democracy!” unless it’s something I disagree with then it’s “problematic.”

HN needs to take a hardline stance against anyone engaged in this “narrative control” garbage we’ve seen in this thread. There is 0 substance provided and it is entirely politically motivated.

While back I was listening to a Jocko Podcast episode wherein the host was discussing his watching the meltdown in Iraq.

Internally, the military had some reporting on “Significant Activities,” major protests and bombings and infrastructure attacks and such.

I’ve always wondered is there anything open-source of that nature - tracking “activities” like these?

Just spitballing here - turning it into an “event” might will spur copy-cat attacks around the country.

The slow-play around reporting of possible attackers and motives is trying to stop the social contagion.

So with government jobs there is an expectation of a much longer tenure than the 3 year job hopper we have in programming.

You’ll start on the low end and get a 2k bump per year for a decade or two, eventually hitting the cap.

Ultimately, the symbol is based around a famous star arrangement in the Northern hemisphere, the Swastika being it at Spring / Summer / Fall / Winter.

As such, it exists in a variety of cultures in the Northern hemisphere.

Finland is another example of a nation with a historical use of it.
