@garbados You can tell, too, that they really wanted it to be "fewer than 14".

@noelle @garbados

Surely the actual conversation that took place:

“Hey Carl, I’m updating the website. How often is asylum granted?”
“Less than 15%”
“How much less?”
“Well, no more than 14.773%”
“That’s what? 13/88? What if we round it up to 14 out of 88?”
“That’s stretching the truth and everyone will ask why we didn’t just reduce to 7/44”
“I guess 13 out of 88 will have to do.”

Yeah, it would be funny, if it wasn't so horrifying.

@noelle @garbados

Holy shit, I've never heard of these dogwhistles and now I'm ashamed that my birthday is 14/5/88

@rdh @noelle no need to be ashamed! arm yourself with knowledge ✊️
