Ah, okay, so you don't understand the concept of punching up/down. Also, if you're roast includes primarily low-hanging fruit, it isn't going to be well-received, either.

So, if I read 80% female authors, from Indian, Chinese, African, African American, Japanese, Korean, Australian Aboriginal, Polynesian, and indigenous from North, Central, and South America, the suggestion I'm not diverse enough is okay? Not to mention that, if you're speaking English, if not the majority then a disproportionate minority is going to be white men. And there's the point. Your very statement implies there are only two groups, white authors and not white authors, which would be a lot more obvious if you hadn't replaced "white" with "(different colour)". So what was your reason for doing that, particularly in the context of punching up/down?
Part of it is the idea of punching down. Making fun of the majority/norm for sticking with typical behavior is safe, making fun of targeted groups isn't okay.
Tax it as part of registering your vehicle to an address within the congestion zone.
Taking power from both the federal and municipal level. From the municipal/urban side, that will reduce the power of city representatives, which tend to be left-leaning.
While rehab funding is great, forced rehab isn't as effective as voluntary rehab simply because lifestyle changes don't stick if you don't want them. Let's see what they do about multiple drinking-related offenses, the socially acceptable addiction.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll all forget when Harper did it, or will say he had better reasons.
Having watched from the outside, you guys were getting more for less for decades before ACA got passed. Then, for a brief moment, things got better overall and the downward trend continued. Blaming the cause of the one blip where quality improved for some small portion of the population (estimated to be over 10 million) for the overall downward trend before and after sounds silly.
Realistically, single payer isn't going to pass without Democrats holding the house, senate, and presidency at levels that bypass filibusters. And then the Republicans will drag their feet as much as possible to do everything they can to delay progress.
This really does fall under two umbrella cautions. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and how are they making money? Suspicion was warranted from day one, especially if it was owned by PayPal.
Now, there are a lot of smart people on the internet who could have tracked all those messages and figured it out, like ultimately happened. I just wish they'd done it sooner.
Trump was hard on China until Ivanka got her patents approved. After that, he was remarkably friendly with them. And now Russia is friendly with China. I'm sure those tariffs will disappear once he's been paid.
There has been work to replicate the capabilities in Taiwan on US soil. While it hasn't been going great, it has been progressing. At some point it is quite possible that Taiwan will no longer be as strategic a partner with America as they are now, which doesn't bode well for their continued assistance from America. But if there comes a time that China will take Taiwan you can be guaranteed that everything possible will be done to reduce the risk of technology transfer.
Yes, we've already established you don't understand the concept of punching up/down. We don't need to belabour the point.
