If a company is making a steady profit, but otherwise everything is remaining the same then one of two things should happen:

1. The company keeps its profits in the company, meaning that the company gets more valuable over time since as well as the profitable business it now has cash in the bank
2. The share price increases slightly each year and then falls when it pays the dividend, repeating a constant cycle each year

The shareholders see the same return either way, either in cash or an increased stock price

A lot of censorship is really self-imposed. When someone really doesn’t care what a small group of people complain about then there isn’t much that can be done to make them change their ways.

Similarly you could say Fox News is immune to cancel culture, because they’re happy to go on doing what they do no matter how much the progressive left despise them for it

Do you think school shooters are encouraged by the publicity around them?

Can you think of any other act that an angry and suicidal teenager can do that will put their face on the TV and attract the attention of the president?

Are you sure that’s Gameweek on the X axis, and not game played in? I’m just wondering why some lines stop before the end

John Grisham. I call it a guilty pleasure because I don’t really think the books are great, but I do enjoy reading them because they’re suspenseful. I’m often disappointed with the endings though and when I finish them I feel I should have read something better. I think if it the same way as getting drunk, I don’t feel good afterwards but I still like doing it

The variances are big, but they’re nothing compared to the gender disparity

No, the air you breathe out is only about 5% carbon dioxide. It still contains about 15% oxygen, compared to about 20% oxygen in regular air

On thing that makes association football popular is that it can be played with relatively little equipment, in almost any place.

You basically just need a ball. You can mark goals with some jumpers, stones, chalk or whatever, and you can play in a field, a park, a street or a backyard. You can play with 2, 5, 10 or 20 players.

By comparison, it's hard to play sports like tennis, golf, pool, hockey etc without more equipment and a dedicated playing area.

It's therefore easy for kids to play and learn

I think this is a poor choice of visualisation for this data. It makes it difficult to tell if one country’s production actually decreases or just increases at a slower rate than the rest of the world. The UK looks as though it really scaled back its generation at the beginning which wasn’t the case

Additionally a model of aircraft will probably be in production for 20 years, so for each model there will be 40 years or so from the first one rolling off the assembly line to the last one being scrapped
