did you know that adding up all the divisors of 1209 and swapping the last two digits gives you a number that can be represented as the sum of two cubes in two different ways? or maybe not, I'm just a cat :3

I absolutely agree with this. and I know that one of the ways to force employers to pay them fairly is to not tip. there's still some problems with it, cause first of all minimum wage in the US is horrid, it's not enough for living at all. but secondly, if everyone were to stop tipping immediately, workers might make lesser than they already are. a better way to go about it is to increase minimum wage to begin with. of course, not really possible IRL so I guess you'd see both happening simultaneously.

yes but the way it stands right now, tips are still important right? until you get to a decent baseline minimum wage, workers will need tips to sustain themselves. is the new wage enough for sustenance in NY?

I mean, it's a religious conflict. There's not going to be any satisfactory solution for both parties really. It's still absolutely horrible that they resort to violence over this, both the israeli government and hamas are to blame for this, and as always, the ones caught in the crossfire are innocent civilians. However, if residents of Gaza were allowed to leave, most would flee anyway, despite it (possibly) being their land. Preventing that is something Israel is certainly to be blamed for. Of course, one can make an argument about terrorists escaping along with them, but yeah.

Also, just because you can't change history doesn't mean that you ignore it, but anyway.

Almost all freedom movements have extremists. The existence of extremists doesn't justify oppressing innocent civilians. Focusing on Hamas is important, sure. But what's a LOT more important is how Israel is (and has been) treating Palestinians. A complete disregard and lack of accountability for Israel's actions while simultaneously asking the oppressed to condemn Hamas sounds a bit too insane to me.

There's a reason why pro-palestine protestors do not talk about Hamas: they don't support Hamas. But talking about Hamas takes the attention away from the crap that Israel has been putting Gaza through for more than a decade. Sure, both need to be heard. But right now, what's not being done (and in fact, actively ignored) is talking about Israel's actions: making it seem like a response to Hamas' recent attacks even though it's been happening for so long.
