Tolerance of intolerance breeds intolerance. It’s the ‘Nazi Bar’ scenario.

You run a bar. One day, a blatantly obvious Nazi comes in, be he keeps to himself and doesn’t bother anyone. A week later, he comes back but he has some Nazi friends with him. You notice some of your regular patrons get up and leave. Over time, the number of Nazis that show up to your bar increases while the number of regular customers dwindles to nothing. Without intending it, you now have a Nazi bar. If you’d have just kicked the first Nazi out, it wouldn’t have happened.

“Walmart is tired of making less money than Amazon.” Is likely closer to the truth.

It’s your word that their word is to be trusted, or even exists at all. No better than ‘Hey, I know a guy!’

I’m just saying that all of the evidence, or lack thereof, that I’ve ever seen doesn’t amount to a plane crashing into the building in my opinion, which is every bit as valuable as your word.

Your word vs a mountain of video evidence that all disappeared. Sure.

It certainly wasn’t a plane that hit the Pentagon.

Not much underground because Houston is basically a swamp.

Nothing up high because why do that when there’s a whole bunch of flat ground?

Never mind the lack of public transport, bike infrastructure, or the general fact that literally everything is built way to far apart to make walking an option…

I’d be down to get one if I could afford it. Also if I could charge it anywhere. As it currently stands I’m happy getting 35mpg in my little Ford Fiesta.

Ding ding ding! Nailed it!

Well, my situation anyway. And now I’m looking at skipping multiple payments because my new (to me) car has multiple problems that can’t be babied along anymore.

I mean, I’d like to get a nice cargo e-bike eventually. I’m maybe a 15 minute ride from both work and the grocery store, so it’d be ideal for me. Problem is that I simply can’t afford one that can support my fat ass.

That’s awesome, thanks for the info!
