Celebrating my birthday in Manchester as news of the Manchester Arena bomb broke. The anger is monumental.
For what reason will this ever stop?
Theresa May says such attacks "will not break us", but her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues. Also, "will not break us" means that the tragedy will not break her, or her policies on immigration. The young people of Manchester are already broken - thanks all the same, Theresa. Sadiq Khan says "London is united with Manchester", but he does not condemn Islamic State - who have claimed responsibility for the bomb. The Queen receives absurd praise for her 'strong words' against the attack, yet she does not cancel today's garden party at Buckingham Palace - for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press. Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an "extremist". An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?
In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we all say in private. Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims. How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire. The people have no such protections.
The head of government does not need to stop looking after the business which she has been assigned just to interrupt real policework at an operational medical examiner's office just to have a photo op. But liberals are generally more interested in grandstanding gestures than solving actual problems, so I understand his perspective.
And the 90 year old queen should quit what she's got planned for what? To give the terrorists the satisfaction of knowing one ******* can disrupt everything? If you stop having concerts the terrorists win, ya dumbasses. I understand Morrissey is twiddling his thumbs and contemplating his navel over this but the rest of the country is pulling up their skivvies and going to work.
Unfortunately, many of the honorable Brits with spunk were killed in the first two wars, leaving subsequent generations to be raised by the lesser men of the country. Pantywaists and communists abounded there in the 70's raising now a third and fourth generation of weenies. There are still good, decent men but the ratio must make it excruciating for them.
I don't care if people want to make meme's about Ariana Grande but I don't understand why they can't wait for like 24 hours until people are done searching for their missing children or getting confirmation about their dead family members. It seems incredibly disrespectful and I think it's just as disrespectful when the other side politicizes gun control right after/during a school shooting. That is just my opinion.
Thousands of people have been miraculously cured of poverty in Georgia following the state’s implementation of a requirement that all those receiving stamps must either be working, training for a job, or volunteering for a non-profit or charity.
The outlet states that the latest rollout saw the requirements reach 21 counties, affecting roughly 12,000 able-bodied people without children.
Those people were given until April 1 to fulfil the aforementioned requirement. But when that date rolled around, The Journal-Constitution, citing state figures, reports that more than half of the food stamp recipients were dropped from the program.
“Essentially, the number of recipients spiraled down from 11,779 to 4,528, or a drop of 62 percent,” the outlet states.
According to The Journal-Constitution Georgian officials are looking at expanding the food stamp requirements to all 159 counties in the state by 2019.

24 hours was merely an example. I specifically mention waiting until the event has actually stopped occuring and people are not still waiting for the basic status of loved ones. It's not at all arbitrary.

In the context of "waiting for the basic status of loved ones," 24 hours is completely arbitrary. They could have all this information in 6 hours or 6 days.
In reality, I don't think it matters. People who are going to get upset about it are going to get upset about it regardless of the timeline.

Also, it was funny.
Timing definitely matters. For instance, I have laughed at a few 9/11 jokes. I often enjoy dark humor. I would not have laughed at a 9/11 joke ON 9/11 after the second building collapsed and they were searching for survivors. Humor can be found in essentially anything but that doesn't mean something cannot be distasteful instead of funny due specifically to timing. Timing, in general, is a large part of comedy.
