Human shield, but your beneficiaries get the full 42 years of salary, at 26,322,500,000.00 Iranian Rial per year. Paid out yearly over the remaining years.
Ugh, you’re gonna make us compete for it like it’s a capitalist system? I guess it’s better than getting Hannibal Directed on Oct 7th for some concert tickets.
The danger in capitalism is if your enemy has more money than you…they win. You can’t afford to defend yourself.
They don’t even need more money than you, if they’re using weapons that cost $20K per, and you’re shooting them down with weapons that cost $800M per or more, it’s basic attrition.
Add to that, you fire off all your stockpiles of $4B weapons in the opening gambit because you have no competence as a military strategist, fired all your top brass, and replaced them with sycophantic yes men.
And meanwhile your population at home is growing more discontented as they feel the squeeze tightening more and more each day, while government support is being stripped away and their tax dollars are going into the pockets of billionaires. And they’re simultaneously being extorted for healthcare, rent, utilities, and groceries; education begins to feel out of reach and offer diminishing returns; opportunities for dignified labor vanish along with the potential for a livable salary.
Sooner or later if something doesn’t bend, it’ll break. And when it does it’ll be catastrophic for the system as a whole. And at that point, you already blew through your weapons stockpiles on pointless wars while refusing them to your former allies in their time of need. Nobody is gonna have your back when it all comes crashing down on you.
Yeah, the United States is fucked. Hopefully Iran and China have more humanity when they inevitably invade in the next ten years or so. Hopefully they don’t bomb civilians and civilian infrastructure the way the US government is doing to Iran right now…
But between Russia invading Ukraine, Israel in Palestine, and now the US in Iran, all of whom seem to be getting away with it scot free… it’s setting a precedent that I do not like one bit…
I can get you a job working for Iran. The hours are flexible and the pay is good.
Capitalism, working as it should.
What kind of position are you talking about?

That’s not unattractive. I was waiting until after things calmed down to visit, but maybe I head over earlier.
Weather is getting a bit warm though, will the position still be open in 6 months or so?
That’s only $20,000 a year. Did I set the joke salary too high?
Ugh, you’re gonna make us compete for it like it’s a capitalist system? I guess it’s better than getting Hannibal Directed on Oct 7th for some concert tickets.
Working for America’s enemy.
The danger in capitalism is if your enemy has more money than you…they win. You can’t afford to defend yourself.
How ya gonna fix THAT?
My concern is it’s not talent, skill, training, knowledge, or even luck. Just dirty old money. Oil does that.

Dark days are ahead for the world, I fear…
