New York Times had this article 2 days ago about child labor: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/25/us/unaccompanied-migrant-child-workers-exploitation.html

> Migrant children, who have been coming into the United States without their parents in record numbers, are ending up in some of the most punishing jobs in the country, a New York Times investigation found. This shadow work force extends across industries in every state, flouting child labor laws that have been in place for nearly a century. Twelve-year-old roofers in Florida and Tennessee. Underage slaughterhouse workers in Delaware, Mississippi and North Carolina. Children sawing planks of wood on overnight shifts in South Dakota.

You'll find a ton of very common companies listed in that article.

> In total, prosecutors believe that Mr Rumson spent only about 15 minutes in the Capitol before leaving. Outside, however, footage shows that he encouraged other rioters to "get a ram" to breach another entry point. The affidavit notes that he later assaulted at least one police officer by "running through the crowd towards the officer, reaching out grabbing the officer's face shield, which forced the officer's head and neck backwards and upwards".

That’s decidedly not very panda-like, for shame.

Ask a honest question on the internet and get down voted to hell. I’ve been wondering how we will deal with transgender athletes for a while now and how it will play out in the next few years like whether or not trans people competing in a sport or a beauty pageant will have special restrictions placed on them such as hormonal restrictions or what not.

Pretending this conflict could easily be solved over a specific line isn't reasonable, especially when the other side can go back in time and find an equally valid reasoning... But.... Only one side has regretted they should have accepted the 1947 Partition plan.

And before then, it was the British mandate and ottoman control.
