Two Republican congressmen have introduced legislation that would provide the same employment and economic protections to Americans serving in the Israeli military as US citizens who get deployed to serve in the US military.

The bill, if passed, would amend US law and extend certain protections to include American citizens who serve in the Israeli military.

Those protections include being safe against foreclosure and the repossession of rental property, and would also reduce the interest rates of any loans taken out before their service. It would also protect those Americans from default judgements in legal cases, and grant them job rights and the employment benefits that US veterans receive.

easy there, we have enough climate problems without the sun going supernova on us.

Fortunately our sun isn't big enough to go supernova. It'd just go nova. But also, the iron in a few thousand people's blood probably isn't enough to get down to the center of the sun within the timescale humans are likely to exist on.
