It's easy to blame the insurance companies, but doing so misses the more important detail: There aren't enough providers. No amount of complaining or regulating the insurance companies is going to change this.

I didn't watch the video, but the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation would pay him if Yellow Trucking didn't. The argument is about the source of the money, not if they'll get paid. > how it is legal to just take it away

The pensioners would have gotten them anyway, from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. The ruling is just about where that money comes from, the money would be paid either way.

A timer is too risky. The was done months in advance - what if the war was over? I think this was meant for intelligence gathering - now that they know who the important operatives are, you go backwards using video and see where they went a

It could be, but it would be very risky. These pagers would have been distributed months in advance. How could you possibly know the perfect time to set them off? And since pagers are already receiving remote messages, it doesn't make

Those people aren't getting a secure one-way pager giving them secret messages. They use a standard phone.

They would have to be pressed up against the target - even a couple inches away they would not be harmed. Sure, it's possible theoretically for that to happen, but as a whole, this attack is incredibly precise and targeted.

Actually this is probably more accurate than a pistol. Bullets miss and ricochet. Plus other people would fire back, leading to a gun fight and more deaths.

Here's a video of someone standing right next to the target: https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1836037485492629605 They are unharmed.

The scar marks an operative. Israel has a huge amount of video footage, now they work backward and see where that person went, and who they talked to.

It wasn't time based. Videos show the pager making some kind of signal or message that caused the person holding it to look at it.

From the vidoes I saw for example: https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1836037485492629605 they would have to be touching the pager to be harmed.

I saw some videos of explosions, the pagers received some sort of signal or message that made the holder look at the pager. Most of the injuries were to the hands or eyes. It was a very very weak explosion - even people right next to the pe

These pagers were distributed only to Hezbollah members, these were not just standard pagers anyone could buy.

I've seen multiple videos of the explosions, even people standing directly next to the target were not hurt. Contrary to what you said, this is pretty much the ultimate in targeted attacks.

Their competition also needs to pay these taxes. There's no free money - adding to corporate taxes just makes things more expensive for the consumer.

Corporate tax is also paid by the consumer. They raise prices by exactly the amount of their corporate tax.

Jewish law sometimes counts from 1 instead of 0 for birthdays, so a newborn is not 0 years old, they are in their 1st year. (But it's written as "when they are 1", so you have to know which counting method is being used.)
