There's other terms. "Remains of all 7 Pennsylvania chocolate factory victims found" would more accurately describe the victims' deceased condition without being disrespectful.

> So when talking about airliners, we're mostly talking about jet engines, which, by the way, are a subclass of turbines.
Turbine includes turboprops though, which are a significant minority of airliners and commercial aircraft.

The issue is that it doesn't sound absurd to a politician or a regular person.

He did retire. He didn't have a job, and acting like he did have one would've taken away from what his successor was doing. This is typical for rulers who abdicate their throne, they at most take an advisory role that keeps them out of the public eye. Calling it "going into hiding" is a bit misleading.

Normal inflation is definitely happening too, you can't print as much money as we did in the last couple of years without inflation. That's not the only thing causing prices to go up though.

This is literally what "good moral standing" clauses in almost every state's carry permit schemes was meant to do. It's a way of getting around the 14th amendment's equal protection clause without explicitly saying "black people can't have guns" - they'd just rule on a "case by case" basis and determine that almost no black person had "good moral standing" instead. How these rules are actually applied has evolved, but it boils down to the same idea - people the cops don't like don't get guns, doesn't matter if it's a reasonable concern over public safety or because they don't like an applicant's accent.
Police oversight is already basically nonexistent when they choke someone to death, what makes you think there's sufficient oversight to avoid misconduct in the permit issuing process?

No, first amendment was right, freedom of speech - this law required police to review people's social media prior to issuing an application, meaning that there's a significant chilling effect on speech if you know that cops are going to be combing through your posts trying to find a reason to deny your second amendment right (also note that the reason to deny was at their discretion, there was no objective standard for "problematic" posts).

Which means you might click thinking they've found someone alive, and only after they have the ad revenue do you find out the truth. It's not as bad as many, but it's still clickbait.
