Six-Year-Old Saying,'Why Don't We Just Give Everything Away For Free?'Surges To Top Democratic Polls
The Babylon Bee ^ | 08/13/19 | The Babylon Bee

U.S.—A new candidate has come out of nowhere to surge in the polls in the Democratic primary, and she’s only six years old. Susie Peters of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was on a local news segment where children gave their opinions on world problems, and she asked, “Why can’t we just give everyone everything they want for free?” The message quickly went viral and really resonated with Democratic voters, propelling Susie from unknown to third in most polls, ahead of Bernie Sanders and just behind Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden.

Just get used to adding the width=500 to the img src format - it'll keep even the largest pics to viewable on most modern screens.

< img src="https://babylonbee.com/img/articles/article-4655-1.jpg" width=500>

Omit leading space of course. Height is automatically computed without distortion.

Example:

In your instruction you forgot the "" around the 500.

You didn't forget when you posted your example.

The word of the day is “neoteny”.

The leftist ideology is a result of a culture where children just don’t grow up to be adults.

So let me get this straight, the Democrats are now using a Six-year-old as a political strategist? They’ve had worse, I suppose!

Agreed, quoting the value strings in tags is good practice, and keeps one's code out of trouble.

But as a practical matter, as long as no special characters are in the value string (quote marks, closing brackets, etc.) to change the meaning when parsed, all browsers will accept an unquoted string. A huge amount of modern production HTML uses unquoted tag values, yet "works" just fine, as a result.

Even the official HTML Validator doesn't care about quoting tag values. :-)

The best way to make something really expensive is to make it free.

I know the left will take it as a challenge, but if we are going to give everything away, this kid needs to go to work to provide for those unwilling to work. They could suggest that we end all child labor laws. As ACO would put it we have to end laboring children laws; they deserve equal treatment in the workplace.

"...and she’s only six years old. Susie Peters of Minneapolis, Minnesota..."

She's not 6, she's 26. And she's not from Minnesota, she's from the Bronx. And has a degree in [home] economics. And her name's not Susie, it's Alexandria....

It’s a broad spectrum.

The fact that Greta believes she is a a prophet, doesnt mean we should.

They're not necessary. After the quoted URL for the image you can just use a space between height, width and other arguments. Take the example below, delete the leading space and preview it.

That's what I did when I posted it. Maybe FR autocorrects but I take out the leading space and preview it, it works fine. Quotes don't hurt.

Try it and let me know.

Note: I added a height parameter to show both attributes obviously operating. Normally you just skip the height parameter as its automatically computed for correct aspect ratio.

Just cut and paste the test post below, delete leading space and preview it:


Test: < img src="https://babylonbee.com/img/articles/article-4655-1.jpg" width=200 Height=25>

Most businesses perpetuate the free idea with ‘free shipping’.
Does the driver delivering the package work for free? Do the vehicles that deliver stuff use free fuel? I don’t think so. Shipping is included in the prices.
