Why can't you just say 20 years?

I'm in the US.

I've never had a job tell us we can't take our 15s. But most places keep staffing tight enough, and busy enough, that people feel guilty taking a 15 unless they have a real reason to.

Personally, I find them kind of frustrating. By the time I begin to calm down, it's time to head back. It's not even like a real break. Where I am now, 30min is auto deduced for lunch, so we take 45min lunches most of the time.

Every job I've ever had.

Of course we do!
It's called the Fossil Fuel Industry.
It's slow and not well targeted. But if you have a century to put into the project, you can do some real damage.

Once again, you REALLY need to elaborate more on your question.

Especially here. We're not known for mind reading well.
Be as explicit and specific as possible. You'll get far more, and more useful responses.

Or maybe this question is about exactly that. I don't know.

That's a very broad question that could be asking about a few different things.
A good start here, would be to elaborate more on what you mean exactly. Maybe give an example?

The full range is about 5.5%. So while it is misleading, a 5% drop in a graph that consistent isn't nothing. Something substantial absolutly changed

Agreed. But that doesn't effect my point, or even the study.

Almost everything with an effective appropriate use can also be misused.

Besides, the use of “besides” as a complete sentence with a full stop is grammatically wrong.

That's true. Apologies... And corrected

They aren't organized by the Sate. They have no official authority. So they aren't really a Militia.
They are a literal gang.
Stop calling them Militia.

You're choosing to use escalating language, instead of accurate language; With the choice of "assault", you're attempting to arouse an outsized emotional response in the reader. As a debate tactic, It's a dishonest manipulation. You should try to avoid doing that.

Besides, assault is a legal term, which includes merely the threat of violence. Battery is the actual use of violence. So even in what you were trying to do, you used the wrong term.
