Economists have written the same article for years.
This is like that Onion school shooting article that just changes the location except they count how many years it's been since Reagan

It's the journalistic version of junk food.
That said, I can't imagine he smells good. It makes the thought of Laura Loomer blowing him that much grosser
Nah. She knew what she married. Big Melania energy
I could be a racist piece of shit and drop the n word. If a black person then turns around and calls all white people racist pieces of shit, we're both bigots
Except... 2 people being assholes when the power dynamic is still very stilted is NOT a level playing field. Context matters. You're not some enlightened sigma with this hot take.
Suffer a few generations of systemic oppression and you might get the parity you think you have
It was only because of that ignominy that he became an icon… why take that away?
$$$$$
I don't disagree necessarily with your take on Boba Fett. I think it's distractingly annoying how the current Star Wars universe shoehorns Mandalorians into any story they can because of Fett
Andor is a slow burn. It doesn't bloom until they're in prison
Boba Fett came back in the books which... aren't cannon, but a lot of the cooler elements have been borrowed and shoehorned in (ie Thrawn)
I didn't have a problem with it. I just think the show fumbled that story pretty hard.
Kenobi... man. I was excited, but honestly... the fight with Vader just fucked up so much of the continuity for me. You knew nothing was at stake because they'd have to fight later in ANH. Also, it completely invalidated Vader's while tirade about "last time we met, you were the master" because Vader effectively kicked his ass. It was a meh story that didn't need to happen IMHO
That "woke" shit is so fucking stupid. Rogue One has a pretty obviously gay couple and that movie is universally loved. One can even make the argument that when the empire was in charge that OF FUCKING COURSE gay people wouldn't be out. It's even cannon that the empire was racist towards non humans.
If the stories are good, fans will eat it up. That some reprobate is butthurt because a main character isn't a straight, white dude is the dumbest shit.
Conversely, I hope this series is good, because if it isn't, I won't want to talk about it and inadvertently join the chorus of those mouthbreathers who are all screaming go woke go broke when legitimate criticisms with that show have NOTHING to do with that
If it's your interest, why not? People buy all sorts of stupid shit. At least my expensive, stupid shit keeps me in shape.
My road bike and mountain bikes aren't even top tier and both individually coast twice that. A new, tricked out Moots or SWorks is $15k.
A $4k eBike can replace your car and save tons more in the long run
Get something mainstream. As long as the bike has one of the following engine systems: Shimano, Bosch, Specialized, Mahle, TQ and a couple others I can't think of off hand. Any of the other weird ones are often impossible to diagnose and work on
Bafang motors are a crap shoot. They make a couple that are okay, but also a lot of low end, sketchy systems.
Electra has a couple of cheaper models that come in under $2k. While the motors themselves aren't unsafe, I think the bikes themselves have underpowered brakes and the like. Something like the Specialized Globe is $2800 and is a pretty solid, utilitarian platform.
Avoid Rad Power, Lectric, Super 73, and any of the other weird, fly by night direct to consumer Asian brands

With these grifters it's probably a problem of the ones who are true believers are too stupid to be competent and the ones who are competent know it's all for the money and will negotiate accordingly and are only in it for the cash grab.
Who knows what mix Pool had working for him
