Why do so few large companies advertise on Google?
Why are AdSense ads 50% and 50% phishing "personality quizzes"? Is it simply that they simply default to that stuff absent anything to personalise the ads?
Why are so many YouTube adverts such obvious scams? Surely the scammers aren't outbidding legitimate businesses. Perhaps there's some truth to my pet theory that Google is intentionally serving the worst ads it can to 'encourage' people to pay for premium.
People don't drink beer for their health
Not now, certainly, but beer absolutely was used for health reasons back in antiquity.
And it worked.
Although some mandatory proportional income taxes (like social security withholdings from paychecks) are unavoidable in and of themselves,
Up to a point. A person earning $10 million p.a. pays no more to social security than someone who only earns $168k p.a.
Oh well, if the state owns 99% of the means of production is that communist?
No, that's socialism.
The consumer advertising limit should be zero.
In the UK it is. It's illegal to advertise prescription medicines here.
However, while the UK's speed limits were/are a bit higher than the US's you often can't drive at that speed due to the huge volume of traffic.
As the old coppers' chestnut goes, "itâ(TM)s a limit, not a target!"
Police don't care about speeding there below about 80mph.
Most likely the 10% + 2 "rule". It's not a rule as such but police guidelines are to not go after someone unless they're going much faster than the limit or doing something else dangerous.
22mph in a 20 area? Fine.
36mph in a 30 area? On with the blues and twos. (That's sirens and flashing lights.)
Most supermarkets don't even have a butcher's counter any more. I think Morrisons is the only big one that still does, but I doubt they do much in the way of actual butchery there. Your best bet is to find an actual butcher's shop, or perhaps a farm shop.
There is no dignified reason to wear a fanny pack.
They come in handy for businesses sometimes: they make it easier to identify American tourists at a distance.
Not if you're Muslim.
Not necessarily. In a situation where a life is at stake that which is normally forbidden may be allowed. I assume the same principle applies to the kashrut. Medical treatments involving pork products (and others involving gelatine, I think) can and have been used by muslims for some time. A muslim may even eat pork, but the general consensus is that this is only acceptable if the alternative is starvation.
