    I do find it kind of neat that you can now always just look at what the US government said and you know that it’s false.

    I fucking hate this country so much. Why is everyone so stupid? Is it because of all the lead in the air during the 20th century?

      Your country is the poster child for unfettered capitalism. It’s a state religion. Bicycles are anticapitalist. They don’t have high or frequent costs. Compare that with cars, the gas they need, the oil changes, brake pads, suspension parts, all adjacent industries… blah blah blah.

      That’s a very good question, actually. Why is everyone so stupid? Because the education system has been intentionally sabotaged and crippled for decades? No, that’s too recent. When did it start?

      If we’re talking about the root of all problems, then it probably started way back in ancient times. Prehistoric maybe. Whenever the first hyperintelligent psychopath decided to live as a god by taking advantage of everyone around him. And since then we’ve just been repeating the same cycle?

    An appropriate sentence for Secretary Duffy would be prison until he’s watched every video on the Not Just Bikes channel.

    Wall. We need a wall. Around the USA. Big wall. And a moat with crocodiles. Minefields would be a nice touch too. And radio-specter noise generators, of course. Let’s occlude the source of idiocy. Let’s not let it spread.

    We need a better vetting process for these roles. This scumbag charlatan probably has investments in the auto industry. Until laws are passed that prevent conflicts of interest we are fucked.
