Not thrilled about it but it would be way better than this

Why don’t they just have tariffs? It would be more honest haha

Not what the article says at all.

I’d have no problem with this as long as the building makes it known that it contains asbestos. Infinite scroll is immediately evident. Just don’t use it if you don’t like it

Ah, I see, you have an emotional / personal investment in this topic. That’s why my harmless request for evidence offends you. I won’t engage further then because it won’t be produ…

In what way was I being opaque? I have no obligation to say “Give me evidence (btw I disagree with you)” lol. I’m sorry that asking your side to support its claims is so offensive …

I very much have an opinion on the subject and never claimed otherwise. My opinion is that lobbying is a nonissue and there’s very little money in politics, and that money doesn’t …

It’s surprising to me as well. Such an innocuous question. Don’t fully understand why people found it offensive enough to flag.

I didn’t say obesity, I said unhealthy eating. Those aren’t the same thing. I straight up don’t believe the drug use one, we have way more fentalyl deaths than you and it’s not eve…

Yeah they are. Americans engage in more unhealthy eating, crime, and drug use than Australians. It’s very easy for me to believe that they’re 3 times as sick.

Yeah because we consume way more than other countries

Dang, can we take a look at this one please? It’s not a productive, helpful, or interesting comment. Thanks!
