As far as I can tell the first specific thing that the author calls out as something that should disturb all humans is that the Aladdin characters are joined by a character from a different IP. Truly terrifying to any company or copyright holder.

This was flagged to death but I'm vouching it because it should be addressed.

First, I'm not sure I believe your numbers to begin with. Is there a source?

Second, a huge issue is racism in law and police policies (not necessarily in individual cops) - crime statistics need to be taken with a grain of salt. The numbers reflect what the police and courts do, not what people do- they're related of course, but there's a bias.

Anything that can be prevented at a cost. Anything that seems like a less serious illness that wouldn't be worth missing a rent payment over.

You can get emergency care and just not pay for it if you can't afford it. You can't get preventative care if you can't afford it.

Or if you want more manual control, Play Music can also be set to download the contents of a playlist (or artist or etc.) Add your new album to that playlist and it'll be downloaded.

It doesn't matter what it means to me, but your intended meaning is essential to interpreting your proposal that they should pay a "fair amount".
