I've walked by the electric bike rental place a few times in Downtown Mayberry. It's scary the lard buts getting on those. I feel like in the pre-electric bike days, the act of having to pedaling kept away enough folks deficient in hand eye coordination from riding bike. This isn't to say, of course, that most cyclists in Seattle aren't still jack asses on regular bikes.HuskyJW said:

And the VP of Lyft makes me want to never buy a share of their stock...
And to top it off the leader of the session just said COVID brought around some positive change... -
I haven't gotten quite there with him. No, I don't think he's a saint; I think he acts selfishly in that he's smart enough to know that even with all his money, the broader condition of the world he lives in matters.HoustonHusky said:Bill Gates is a very smart man...and the epitome of a Bond villain. Kinda frightening...
And in that respect, I think he acts out of what he thinks in the greater good. What I do worry about with him is this: he built something massive from nothing, is used to kicking ass and taking names and acting directly without a lot of checks to get done what he wants to get done. I see that same approach in him today. Coupled with the fact that he is a smart dude, but has also had praise lauded on him for most of his life about how smart he is, and has operated in a space in which the world hangs on his every word.
That kind of guy is still capable of being wrong, he doesn't know everything, he has vices and biases like the rest of us, and he is able to just pick his experts and run. In that sense, yes, I think Gates can be dangerous.
The short version of this essay is: Gates hasn't, to my knowledge, been humbled very often in his life. He's right all the time because his legions of sychophants tell him so. -

Live look at Jay Inslee and Bill Gates. -

Assuming there is no middle, do you think Gates (at this point in his life) is a right leaning leftist or a left leaning conservative?
Or a conservative trying to appear leftist or even a leftist playing conservative?

Jennifer Granholm is not a serious person.
