Because this is political theater but there’s also a lot of nuances that go into this type of thing. Should they have done something like this in the past, 100%…but this is also a result of the collective California population being so fed up with insurance companies that it forces politicians to do something. He’s a martyr no doubt but the health care situation continues to get worse so pushing something so “liberal” wasn’t going to happen previously.

I wouldn’t buy a Tesla if it cost $1. That company can shove Elon’s big Nazi dildo up their ass

I think that person is long gone tbh. Maybe you could have that type of conversation with him in the 80’s and 90’s but not today. Money and power consume his thoughts so any topic you bring up he’ll revert to money and power.

That’s why they care. China sells the US a lot of things and cutting off your biggest consumer isn’t good for your economy. China understands this and is now starting to dump their US debt via bonds so they’re not tied to US based securities. China will find another trading partner because Trumps a fucking moron and the other countries he’s isolating need someone to fill their trading gap.

As someone that has a $11k bike I can clarify some things.

I have a Wilier Granturismo SLR. About ~90% of the components are carbon fiber. Carbon Fiber, especially high end carbon fiber isn’t cheap. Besides the bike; my wheels, pedals, parts of the cranks, handlebars, saddle, saddle post, and probably some other things are carbon fiber.

I always hear people talk about getting carbon fiber components for cheaper because you have a shit tin of Chinese companies come in and steal these bike companies IP and make shit frames. Look at Chinorellos, shit ton of Chinese companies steal frame designs and re-make them with shit metal and the bike falls apart after a year.

Another thing…why does any give a fuck how much my bike costs? My dad is an audiophile guy and my bike costs as much as 1 (not a pair) of his speakers, and he has a mid-range system. Cycling is something that I love, I ride almost everyday and will spend hours and hours on the bike. I’d gladly pay less than $11k on my next bike but when you get into the higher end market you’re going to pay more, that’s true across almost ALL sports or hobby activities

I work in cyber security and have gotten to work with some very talented female engineers. It’s always shocking to me the amount of disrespect some third party will display towards them. Like talking down or whatever.

What’s also entertaining is watching my coworkers absolutely destroy these ass hats.
