Likely some real free market capitalists.
Free market capitalism is a scam and only serves the hurt the average American worker. Free market capitalism is responsible for the H1B visa crisis that has infected nearly all sectors of the American economy but particularly the tech sector. Tell me are you ok with a bunch of Chinese spies helping to run Silicon Valley? Because that is what we have right now.
Our immigration problems also are a problem of this so called free market capitalism. Tell me are you going to hire an American citizen who has rights protected in law about pay and treatment or are you going to hire the low wage immigrant you can make threats to to keep them in line? A free market capitalist is going to hire the cheap immigrant and put his countryman out to pasture.
Free market capitalists are the ones who offshored so much of our critical industrial might and manufacturing power for cheap chinese labor. We are seeing the consequences of the short sighted pursuit of profits in this endeavor right now.
Free market capitalism is a talking point morons on this site like to parrot when others are talking about socialism. But so many of our problems we have today are because of allowing the market to be to free.

I get it, but we both know the type of person I’m talking about and I’m sure you come across them all the time.

And motorcycles are more dangerous, even if you drive perfect.

He's got over 12 pages of posts only on tRant since football season started. No one ever goes away like you claim. Stop being you

I always thought you and he were abnormally *close*

Fewer people are riding motorcycles, and younger people aren't receptive to biker culture. People are also ultra risk averse now which will continue to grow.
I think most younger folks view loud beastly bikes as ostentatious.

I would just make a personal attack when I was shown to be a dumbass too.

You are the board expert on this subject. You definitely would know.

I had two before my daughter was born. Sold them while my wife was pregnant. Finally bout another one a yea ago, but still don't ride anywhere near as much I would like because of the amount of distracted drivers out there. Riding is awesome, but in this day and age it's a huge risk.

Harley-Davidson died when knobs like Darth Vader started buying them for their mid-life crisis and began parading around town like some biker badasses.
It is hilarious how HD dealerships are mostly in the burbs. Gotta get the sweet feel of the open road every other Saturday.

And it might not even be remotely your fault. My wife's uncle was plowed over by an old lady running a red light. Nam vet who rode for 40-50 years killed because of someone who was too old to be driving her own car.

I laid out constructive criticisms of our modern economic system with examples of why there are inherent issues in it and this is the best retort you can come up with?
Im not advocating a centralized socialist economic system, I am advocating for protectionist and nationalist policies that benefit the American worker and protect American industry. Many of these points that I advocate are advocated by The President and many people on this site but they arent called socialists.

I bought a Yamaha this past weekend. Took it out of the neighborhood and parking lots for the first time Tuesday afternoon only to be tailgated by an SUV with a handicap tag hanging in the rear view for the majority 6 mile loop I made. It wasn't fun.

Just offering some constructive criticism, but you shouldn't stay close to anyone you feel is being dangerous for 6 miles. I've slowed down to let people pass or straight up turned off roads before when someone's driving near me made me uncomfortable. A slight detour is worth avoiding something worse.
