Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.

Reviewer 2: Your paper is a square. Squares are bad. Turn it into a circle.
Me: painstaking revisions to turn that square into a circle.
R2: Your paper is now a circle. I don't like circles. It is lacking sides and corners. Turn it into a rectangle.
Me: 🤯🤬
