I mean to handle the "rare in the profession" bit, it's probably because people don't really go for punch-down humour any more. Thank god.
Because punching-up is always absolutely okay and has no bad implications ever? Call me the humour police, but punching is generally frowned upon.

The indications weeks ago was that we'd reached the limit of easing that could be achieved without a vaccine. Why there was even a push to carry on with it is nonsensical.

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

It's a pity there's not a British ideological political counterpart to Tony Abbot, leading the Conservative Party.
He is of course referring to the dementia patients who are in the final stages of the disease, have become so mentally and physically infirm they're completely dependent on others and are no longer capable of quality of life. Covid is speeding up a process which is horribly protracted by medical intervention, and I know because I've seen it happen.

"Punching" has a slightly separate meaning in comedy and has done for a long time now. I suspect you're thinking more of that time Richard Spencer ate a knuckle sandwich.

I'm aware of what punching refers to in comedy. Still, I find it distasteful to disparage an identity or group, regardless of whether they're an "acceptable target".

It's far better to have open discussions about it in the arts as it has a filtering effect to make it more palatable to people, it sublimates it and makes it far less incendiary; as if a truth is left unexpressed then it turns toxic.
