I am an English learner and I have a hard time in understanding the below sentences.
"It's a dead issue. These days you can hardly get people to read about a live issue. People are issued out."
dead issue= people stop talking about it?
And what does "issue out" mean?
Can anyone please explain what that sentence mean? Thank You.
