Regarding bicycling in cold weather: physical exercise keeps
you warm.

You've clearly never lived in a place that has real winter.
You'll deny it, of course, then go on to say something that
will prove me right.

Do you think Stockholm, Sweden, qualifies for a real winter?
Right now we have -10°C and 20 cm snow. Yes I've been bicycling
in such weather and know what it's like.

Most people aren't mutants.

We are all mutants. Otherwise we would still be amoebas...

So yeah, most in my neck of the woods would not consider owning a car
w/o AC.

But So. Cal w/o AC - no way! I recall a nighttime trip across the
Mojave Desert in a car without AC when I was a kid. It felt like we were
in Hell.


It must be hell having to share a country with people like the previous poster. Ignorance and arrogance in equal measure. There's a lot of it about. The pride with which they carry their deliberate ignorance is a real eye opener. But what do you expect when their supposed leaders, from the top down, are such deliberate morons?

They wouldn't get a job sweeping streets in any other Western country. They'd have to keep stopping to brag about their own idiocy to any passing moron who would listen.

If childhood starvation isn't the cause of this national dumbing down then it must be the brain dead diet. Which they quite deliberately choose for themselves and their offspring. Spare a quart of palm oil, bud? B-u-u-u-rp!

Are people here feeling insecure, left out, unimportant, no one listens
to them; or their well considered viewpoints? So when someone comes
along with some trival flaw - real or percieved - y'all go non-linear
about it?

If that doesn't describe you, then maybe you can understand that
contining to poke fun at him, needlessly, is not appropriate for
someone of your standing?

Seriously

Which explains my cough beef with America, Bill.

WE, of the rest of the world didn't get to vote for our own demise. The world, outside the USA, is absolutely horrified by the infantile Trumpet. Plus the USA's endlessly and deeply corrupt, pseudo-religious politics of insatiable, global greed and evil interference and promotion of human slavery.

The three party system doesn't work in anyone's interest except the ultra-rich: The majority NRA, minority White House & deaf, dumb and blind GOP gravy train is a recipe for global mayhem. That mayhem is self-sown right right there at home.

No other Western country is so wasteful, so destructive, so unwell, has so many prisoners, so much violent crime, so much reliance on drugs, so many massacres, so much racial tension, such low average wages, so little real democracy and so many poor.

Despite these crippling weaknesses your country's malevolent influence on global business and politics continues. What price freedom when it is at the price of such misery?

To add to the tragedy your very own businessmen have massively bolstered Chinese trade and military power for private greed. As the World's Boy Scout slinks away from the world's latrines who will take up the pretence of moral leadership?

The American people and world's people deserve far better than endless Xi dictatorship. With Putin playing the role of Mussolini. Did the American people vote for this brave new century's Hitler? American businessmen certainly did. With their mass export of real jobs and priceless, hard-won technology.

And why you have hallucinated a world in which the way to run the
world is to be stupid and incompetent at running the world.

Which ssys far more about your than about the world.

WE, of the rest of the world didn't get to vote for our own
demise.

If everyone is a stupid and delusional as you are, you need someone
to tell you how to live.
