Tofu scramble is another good alternative, albeit also not exactly the same. This recipe looks like a decent starting point:

I also really like adding vegetables to my scramble, that'll make it even less like eggs though.

According to the DOL, an employer may not pay their employees less than $2.13 per hour even if they make enough tips that they'd still be making minimum wage just off of tips. So there is a separate, lower minimum wage for tipped workers.

At the same time though, tipped workers still have to make the full (federal) minimum wage. If your $2.13 per hour plus your tips only come out to $6 per hour, your employer has to pay the other $1.25 per hour.

Enforcement is another issue, of course, but tipped workers have the same minimum wage as everybody else. The tipped wage just allows businesses to count tips as wages up to a certain point. If a tipped worker is only being paid $3 per hour because they didn't get enough tips, that business is stealing their labor and needs to be smacked.

If you stretch a rubber band it gets longer. The two ends of the band get farther apart. This might be easier to imagine with a broken rubber band rather than a loop. If you stretch a lead, whether in sports, politics, or anything else, the gap gets larger. The two sides get farther apart.

Yes, because the company refused to appoint a Brazilian legal representative.

So I agree with you about the whole "arresting people after they yell fire and not before" thing, but we're talking about people who attempted a coup here, these aren't hypothetical pre-crimes.

To your earlier point about going after the people who actually did the coup:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-64299892

According to this BBC article, 39 people were indicted within about a week of the attack

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Brazilian_Congress_attack

According to Wikipedia, 86 people have been convicted and sentenced to jail time.

I'm sure there are better numbers but I don't speak Portuguese so I'm not going to find them.

Also, while this conflict did begin with Brazil wanting them to ban accounts who helped organize the coup attempt, x was banned because they refuse to appoint a Brazilian legal representative.
