How is this a troll? Itâ(TM)s true that co-morbidities like diabetes and obesity were linked to most deaths from Covid since 2020. A 2% drop in obesity does not equate to a 2% drop in population. Lets say a third of American adults were obese which I think is a reasonable estimate and now itâ(TM)s 2% less that would be about 2-2.5M less people who qualify as obese. If half a Covid deaths were co-obese (making up words now), that would explain about 20% of the drop in obese Americans. That is a significant percentage and an insightful comment. Mod this up please.

Yeah but you have to admit those last few strips before he got canceled were hilarious. He introduced a new character and pointy haired boss was all excited because he was black and would help him hit his quota, but the new guy identified as white, and then PHB actually takes the L. Gold. I wish the archives were still online.

Maybe if these folks who bought it will try to inject some life into it? The headlines are still really good. e.g.: "The Onion Stands With Israel Because It Seems Like You Get In Less Trouble For That" (oct 13, 23). And you can't blame them, no one really reads past the headlines anymore (slash-geeks are outliers).

Leaders, and I mean all titled leaders, are paid to make unpopular decisions and to deal with their consequences which often include a resignation (with a golden parachute). It's not an easy thing to do, be hated by everyone. I'm not defending the CEOs who are the target of that quote in the story. I'm just saying this is what they get paid to do. It's another argument entirely if you want to discuss leaders who do or do not make timely decisions and/or have the integrity to deal with their choices.
