I can't tell if this is a deliberate joke or not - if it isn't, note that the traditional golfers' call is spelled "Fore".

“The problem isn’t that your niece has already had help, nor that no-one appreciates her... ahem... creativity,” coughs designer Yvette Saint-Marie, who sports a tasteful monochrome dress, as she sits and crosses her ankles demurely. “It’s that those monstrosities are so very frightful that no-one in their right mind would buy them, or accept them as a gift, or even give them to an enemy as a mean-spirited joke. There’s no point in throwing good money after bad, but that doesn’t mean that other people should not be aided. A governmental hardship fund should subsidise aspirational entrepreneurs with genuine artistic merit.”

She runs out of space to place bumper stickers and starts hanging garlic cloves from your rearview mirror.

The additional words at the very least need to be capitalized, but if you can wrangle the coding, it would be even better if the spaces were replaced with hyphens, or the field was truncated to only the last word.

perhaps capitalising "Company" and "Be" would look better

Bearing in mind the issue's first option, I'm fairly sure that that should be "hasn't already had help" rather than "has already had help" here.

Jutsa wrote:Hi, this isn't so much a complaint as an inquiry, just because I could see it being intentional. So with regards to issue 217 option 3, it mentions this:
"If people had to pay a rate of NHS tax based on such factors as nicotine and alcohol intake, [...]"
So, I should note that my nation prohibits drinking (and smoking, though I could see nicotine patches being a thing). Is this an oversight, or is it able to be sort-of shrugged off as it's not explicitly saying smoking/drinking and can also imply illicit activity?

Choice 2 also says that my nation "is a vast cesspool of cultural stupidity" with "crystals, specters, charlatans, religious superstition", while I have very low Primitiveness and Religiousness.
I know it's still possible that incompetent politicians exist and I can just dismiss the issue, but it's very annoying to receive insults to your nations after you work hard to improve good stats.

“A ban on all spam is a restriction on our freedom of speech and on the freedom of the press!” screams Stella Abbott, president of Citizens for Internet Freedom. “What is the government to say what is and isn’t commercial spam? Could they haul charity representatives off to jail for seeking donations? Could they jail politicians for using email to try and gain votes? Could they arrest me if I accidentally send my erotic novel-in-progress to the wrong address? Seriously, spamming is a subjective offense and as such should not be considered a crime.”
“Both sides are wrong,” grumbles government paper-pusher Belinda Fox. “Spam is definitely a problem, yet so is the restriction on freedoms which some draconian anti-spam codes would impose. I propose a ban on overtly fraudulent spam, and a tax on more legitimate businesses that rely on spam as an advertising method, and a strict legal definition of spam that would ensure no innocent person was prosecuted or taxed.”
After a slow news week, one of your aides brought to your attention the controversy surrounding Violetstone National Park. Well-known information technology tycoon Edward Rump recently revealed proposals to purchase the land and intends to carve the faces of former leaders into Mount Rushless, a site revered by many Native Aryaxians.
