You think it’s irrational for employees to object to a reduction in pay? That seems rational to me

Why is a state that builds settlements in other countries’ land a settler colony? Seems very obvious, I don’t really understand your point?

I don’t think anyone denies that Israel is building settlements in internationally recognized Palestinian and Syrian land. They don’t hide it, there’s a lot of very recent news onl…

Are you asking which country enables Israel to continue to violate international law in the longest occupation in modern history (the West Bank)? That would be the US, who gives th…

>now hoping to get traction Not even just that, they also want us to donate to cover the costs for the good work they’re surely going to be doing

How is it not? They solved homelessness

Yeah I’m just saying they have a close relationship as evidenced by the location of us-east-1. How far that relationship goes you or I do not know, but clearly there is a close rel…
