And if you have a poor internet connection, the app is near unusable

This is an issue I've been noticing across more and more apps and operating systems. It seems like there's no developers out there even willing to consider how their software operates under non-ideal conditions.

I feel like trying to switch to this would cause more problems than it would solve. If you switch to this time system, what do you do about all the other units of measure that include a time component? Either everything has to change, or you have to start using two different time systems.

Of course not. Millennials are too old and unless things kick off in the next couple years, gen z will be too.

USA was the first democracy in the world,

Off by a few thousand years there bud. Even if you want to limit it to "modern" democracies, Britain has the US beat by a hundred years.

You still believe this genocide in Gaza has anything to do with hostages?

I never even implied that I believe that. In fact, I've said nothing about my feelings on the overall conflict.

All I've said is that I don't see why Hamas doesn't return them (independent of whatever the Israeli government is doing) and take the easy PR win. The hostages are one of the main things that tempering international and internal pressure on the Israeli government.

I don't understand why Hamas doesn't just let them go. Israel has already shown that there's nothing to be gained from keeping the hostages. The international PR win alone would be worth releasing them at this point.

NAFTA just accelerated what was already coming when it comes to manufacturing employment. Manufacturing output has been decoupled from employment numbers for a long time now.
