You're at the bar with your friend when the game is about to start. Your friend talks you into making a $65 bet on who is going to win.

Your team gets slapped about the entire game causing your friend to egg you on the whole time about how stupid you were for taking the bet and the money you've lost. But then due to a heap of dumb luck, referee mistakes and fumbles, your team somehow steals an undeserved win in the closing seconds.

At which point you turn to your sulking friend who just goes "No. I'm not giving you anything."

Then he goes back to his drink

Higher costs, more paperwork and border delays have been "the only detectable impact so far" of Brexit for British businesses, according to a new report by MPs.

Trade volumes have been suppressed since the end of the transition period in December 2020 - though the COVID-19 pandemic and wider global issues were also key factors, the report said.

But the Commons public accounts committee (PAC) said it was clear that Brexit has had an impact and called for the government to calculate the additional costs that firms face.

New burdens include having to pay for help to complete customs declarations as well as fees due to the government and port when some goods are selected for physical inspection.

Traders also face tariffs if goods do not comply with "rules of origin" requirements. Britain's free trade agreement with the EU is on condition of certain products being traded having a minimum proportion of their "origin" in the exporting country rather than coming from somewhere else.

Making sure they are in compliance with new rules also adds costs, the committee said.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) estimated in 2019 that the extra administrative burden on businesses on UK-EU trade would add up to 15bn a year.

The MPs said that while this had yet to be updated, HMRC had told the committee in November that there were "indications that the costs to businesses will be less than that estimate".

Dame Meg Hillier, chair of the public accounts committee, said: "One of the great promises of Brexit was freeing British businesses to give them the headroom to maximise their productivity and contribution to the economy."

That was "even more desperately needed now on the long road to recovery from the pandemic", she added.

"Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays," Dame Meg said.

The MPs' report also raised concerns about "potential for disruption at the border" as passenger traffic between Britain and Europe recovers later this year towards pre-pandemic levels - especially at ports such as Dover where EU officials carry out checks on the UK side.

Meanwhile "much remains to be done" as the government phases in import controls, already introduced on the European side, to ensure that continental traders and hauliers are ready, the committee said.

The report added that a plan to deliver, by 2025, the "most effective border in the world" looked "optimistic, given where things stand today" and the committee was not convinced by it.

It noted, for example, that HMRC needs to move all users of its existing customs system to its new Customs Declaration Service, but that by October 2021 only 42 out of 5,000 had done so.

A further concern raised by the MPs was that arrangements for goods arriving from the EU were "untested and could be exploited".

One risk related to the delay in building infrastructure at Dover, which will not be ready until 2023.

Until then, lorries carrying goods selected for physical checks will have to travel 60 miles to Ebbsfleet, posing a risk that their cargoes could be offloaded on the way.

"HMRC agreed it would be ideal to have the infrastructure at the port itself and goods controlled at the port but said that it was not possible," the report said.

"It told us it was looking at what surveillance it would need to manage those risks."

The report comes two days before the Office for National Statistics publishes trade figures for December and 2021 as a whole - the first such annual data since the end of the transition period.

Yes but at the time of the controversy I think you could comfortably say that Apu was the most recognizable single character to help get the point across.

thats definitely true

but I would argue that's because he's a funny memorable character more than because he's a stereotype

I can understand the idea that lack of representation could have impacted people negatively, but I never got the point of putting that on the character's shoulders. The sterotype of Indian convenience store owner is not a negative one. It's something that exists in abundance in America, overwhelmingly so among convenience stores from what I can see. To say that is negative is to deny reality.
At least in a comedy with a full cast of stereotypes

I would get it if Apu turned up in a serious drama

But Apu has back and forths with Wiggum, Snake, Cleetus, Homer.

They're all exaggerated stereotypes, that's the joke.

I think we're at a point where Covid is always gonna be with us and it's also much more treatable and preventable now. So it makes sense to let people make their own decisions like avoiding gatherings and wearing N95's if they're high risk and let everyone also accept the risk for themselves. And we've also seen that not enough people are getting vaccinated for herd immunity so there's really no endpoint to mask mandates... you can mandate them and drive numbers to under 2% but the moment the mandate goes away you're right back where you started. So might as well just move past it.
Several things

1. People get mad at private businesses for requiring masks so clinging onto "mandates " as if its the real issue is stupid

2. "Covid is gonna stick around so why take precautions to stop it?" is total non logic

Humans are always going to need to shit, according to you that means washing your hands and flushing the toilet afterwards is a personal choice we need to respect and need to oppose mandates to get us to not make others sick.

It's dumb.

Wearing a mask isn't hard, it has obvious advantages to help protect other people. It's basic hygiene

There is 0 logical reason to be opposed to them

The hostility is nonsense as is your attempted defense of it

There shouldn't even need to be a mandate, the fact the right wing turned poor basic hygiene/health care into a partisan political stance is an embarrassment that gets people killed

I don't blame some of you for not understanding what the problem is. It took me a hot minute to understand the problem too. I'll try to explain it as best I can what the problem is.

The problem isn't directly Apu or The Simpsons. The problem is when people think of Indian people, they think of Apu and no one else. And they don't care for his success and positive traits either. People know him as the "Thank you come again" person and that's it, so they know Indian people for that only. Do you guys understand that it's bad to think of a whole group of people are all nothing but Apu's?
maybe in a vacuum

But its Simpsons

Willie, Homer, Cleetus, Bumblebeeman

They're all stereotypes.

If anything I'd say Cleetus is more harmful than Apu.

It seems strange to single him out and go "Indians are too weak and unstable to handle a joke unlike everyone else."

I have no real dog in this fight, I don't watch modern Simpsons. I just don't buy the logic that stereotypes would stop existing if comedies making fun of the stereotypes are banned.

I also don't think there's anything wrong with voice actors performing other races so long as they are good voice actors
