That looks like Iran employing its primary piece of leverage to try to get what it wants. It’s sort of like training a dog, it does something you don’t like, you punish it with strait closure. It does what you want, you reward it with strait opening.

Iran doesn’t really have a huge amount of wiggle room, there’s only so many ways they can inflict pain on their opponents. This is one of them, so they’re using it.

I will admit it does resemble the animated shenanigans of a certain wascally wabbit.

Maybe.

A salt molecule is 1 sodium and 1 chlorine. If you measure by mass, the chlorine is about 50% heavier than the sodium, so salt is not 50/50, it’s actually closer to something like 33.3/66.7.

Another possibility is the addition of something like potassium chloride, which is similar to table salt. It obviously won’t contribute any sodium though.

Credit where credit is due, to reddit for making them go to court over it.

I have a feeling that an actual martial law declaration would be enough to motivate a general strike.

This actually happened when early nationalists tried to overthrow the Weimar Republic in interwar Germany. Some old generals and their men took over the capital and declared themselves in charge of the country. A general strike was declared, and the whole country shut down. The generals were then left “in charge” of a totally shut down society. Needless to say, the coup lasted a short enough time that it’s usually not even mentioned in world history lessons. This whole event pre-dated Hitler’s first beer hall putsch by like a decade or something, if memory serves.

This is more of a system issue than bad behavior of an individual charity.

Charities can underpay a little bit, because working for a charity has its own appeal. But if you want a talented, experienced person to run your org, you have to consider what they could make if they worked for someone else. San Diego is not a cheap city, and has its fair share of CEO positions.

If you really want to stretch your dollar though, local food banks are probably a better bet.

Honesty is good.
