It's all in the name. I ride through DC on a cargo bike with my wife and/or child.

Obama has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but he did post his NCAA bracket.

Biden has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but he found time to post about St. Patrick's Day.

Harris has nothing to say about what Trump is doing, but she tweeted to celebrate International Women's Day.

It's not just Schumer. Dems have no idea how to mount a meaningful resistance. It's just BAU with them while the US descends into a Constitutional crisis. Hand the keys of the party to AOC, please!

If RFK's confirmation doesn't make you sick, it soon will.

Today is the anniversary of the day Donald Trump incited an insurrection to overthrow the government that included a coordinated attack on the U.S. Capitol aimed at killing elected leaders and thwarting the transition of power.

Many Republicans deny these facts. Never forget.

The result of brainwashing

Today in one hour of biking I saw FOURTEEN vehicles parked in "protected" bike lanes. (I'm counting the guy who drove 200 metres ahead and parked in the bike lane again twice.) Thankfully this is exceptional; yesterday in the same time frame I only saw 2 cars in the bike lane.

On my first bike ride to work after getting an Apple Watch, I got this fun new warning when I passed through the most auto-dense portion of my commute. A reminder from @notjustbikes that cities aren’t loud, cars are loud.

When auto CEOs say they can't afford to pay their workers more, remember that the Big Three have made a combined $21 billion in profits in the first half of 2023 and $250 billion in profits over the decade.

They've also spent $5 billion on stock buybacks the past year.

It’s fascinating to start seeing multiple trend pieces that point out that people not having to commute for an hour or more after work is stimulating the economy. They are more likely to go out to dinner, a concert or take a weekend vacation.

Some argue this has staved off a recession.

Remote work is the reason why Wall Street was wrong about a recession

Economists have predicted that spending would slow for a while now, forecasting a recession sometime this year. But that hasn't happened yet.
