    GOD DAMN IT. I WAS ABOUT TO BUY A COROLLA. Can anyone recommend another reliable car that says “I don’t give a shit about cars, my cat just hates ubers”?

    Toyota has been a made a ton of donations to the right wing for anti-ev policies for years, so this is a victory lap outfit for him

    He looks like he was told this is what Americans wear and has no understanding of the true significance of it.

        Date of the photo? Assume it would be before the election, shirt is dated 2024. Still embarrassing as hell for anyone with any pride, sense of worth or value of the broader world to stand with those POSs

    I get it. You need to do the dance and play a part with trump. If all cyclists wore maga hats and bought Chinese trump merch we may get some more bike lanes.

      Unlikely, there’s much less money in bikes than in cars and fuel so not as much to bribe with. Even contractors building the infrastructure get more constantly repairing roads with heavy vehicles than a one-time bike lane install.

      Brown nosing only gets you so far, the only way to get anything done under a corrupt government is to enrich those in charge.

    People like that have been playing corporate politics for decades. There is no soul left.
