  • First off, expansion by maximizing growth is redundant.

    More importantly, if he's looking to have the facility running for >~40hrs a week, just hire more people. Put them on shifts and bam, the fixed overhead shrinks even smaller in relation to revenue.

    That said, I have no idea what his line is, I just assume it's small-time manufacturing.

  • I don't recognize a manual/electric dichotomy.

    Manual/automatic and electric/mechanical are the two acceptable variations.

    Not that these are the end-all of the electro-mech spectrum...

  • If'n I had a group to play with, I'd be keen to try a character with some sort of handicap relevant to their class: a one arm fighter or a mute caster or some such. Would be fun to learn how to workaround things like vocal spell components cannot be used or only one hand weapons.

  • I'm arguing (and have been) that Egypt is looking out for Egypt only. Allowing Palestinian refugees introduces a possible liability for the Egyptian government to deal with down the line.

    You're right. I'm a monster for allowing myself to try and rationalize the actions of a government instead of assuming all they do comes from a place of humanity.

    Governments are not people, they do not act as such. At best they are corporations with the endgoal of "stay in power" instead of shareholder value.

  • The case of the Palestinians now pretty neatly fits into "give up the chance of ever getting back"

    No, individuals having to watch this on the border have it rough and the entire situation is shit, but Cairo playing realpolitik on the matter of refugees is not something I can reasonably fault them for: they are elected to prioritize Egypt's interest, and allowing a group that may reasonably become a southern Hezbollah is in direct conflict with that mission.

    Allowing mothers and children is the human thing to do, but with no actionable plan to return them, they become a liability with a fuse of some 16-20 years.

  • It is an emergency, but will the next one be on Egypt's border, or Gaza's is the question they seem to be asking.

    Palestinians seem to have had no say up to this point, why change course now? I know why, but it's mighty inconvenient for any powers that be.

    Finally, Your Trail of Tears analogy is really strained. As far as I know there was (and still is) no hope of tribes getting their land back, the tribes had a designated "indian territories" they were being relegated to. as opposed to the Palestinians who have the destination of "not here".
