Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

as if $1B just isn't enough motivation.

אני עם תואר שני בספרנות ומידענות וניסיון בעבודות שדורשות הרבה התנהלות עם ידע ומידע (איסוף, מחקר, מאגרים, ריכוז וארגון, הנגשה וכד׳) ואני די מאוד אוהב את זה ומחפש:
- לעבוד עם ידע (ראו הנ״ל)
- בארגונים וחברות שעושות דברים חשובים/מעניינים (סורי גוגל, צוקי).
- בירושלים, מהבית או היברידי אך נגיש

He will make money; the bank will
