Why would you expect a massive spike of cancer deaths in 2020? You think the study claims people will die instantly the moment they start sitting down more?
Do you similarly rebut the link between cigarettes and death by saying "that's why so many 14-year-olds suddenly keel over... wait, what?"
... not so that I can stand for 8 hours instead of sit, but so that I can switch between the two frequently.
This is what I do too, and it's mainly because I simply find it more comfortable to stand for a while a few times during the day.
Basically Vance is just trying to make ultra-sure that everyone knows he's in lockstep with the president in all ways... including in corruption.
One is focused on keeping prices low while the other is focused on funneling money into his pocket.
I'd argue they both are focused on funneling money into their own pockets...
How many satellites have been de-orbitted by rogue hackers thus far?
Your parent poster didn't say rogue, he said rouge.
People are being far too blase about the very real possibility of Color Wars.

Oh, crap - and didn't Google release Android 17 recently?
Think the problem is certain individuals have told Trump that (white) Americans are smarter than anyone else, and he's stupid and vain enough to believe it - after all, the Very Stable Genius is a white American.
If so, it's a win in my book.
... and China has hundreds/thousands of government-sponsored hacking teams. Nah, I'm sure there's no connection there.
Car manufacturers should be taken to the woodshed over this awful decision.
Why not the car buyers? The manufacturers are only responding to what buyers want.
That could well be a chicken-and-egg problem. Are the buyers buying what's available because it's available, or are the manufacturers making it because the buyers actually asked for it? I'm not aware of any Equinox driver anywhere who ever complained about it not being tall enough (or it being short enough to make it unnecessarily difficult to run over small people) yet Chevy raised the hood anyways.
The other problem is that the auto manufacturers see a distorted picture of car buyers. New cars are too expensive for a large fraction of all drivers; many drivers won't ever buy a brand new car. New car dealers are selling to people with more money, and making decisions around what those more affluent people might want in their cars - or more so are telling such people what they should want.
Or Ford has no hired 700 senior engineers.
Well, at least there's no war in Ba-Sing-Se.
If cartoons have taught me anything, it's that gravity doesn't have any effect unless I look down.
That's not enough to make you fall... you also need to wave at the audience, breaking the fourth wall.
I did use the qualifier "most".
