I feel like those 80s motorcycle tariffs are why the US motorcycle industry is so uncompetitive today. In the 80s, HD got fat my making bikes that wouldn’t be viable anywhere else in the world. HD didn’t have to compete because tariffs guaranteed their market. Meanwhile Honda, Yamaha,. Kawasaki, Suzuki were developing a lean, lightweight model, we saw the convergent evolution of the Universal Japanese Motorcycle and lean production processes. It was specifically those tariffs that made the big 4 what they are today - basically unstoppable.

I make a YT channel about bizarre conspiracy theories. I keep coming back to the people who make videos claiming that 5G is actually a deadly weapon on their 5G Iphone 16. Nobody has more cognitive dissonance than these guys.

You’re just experiencing the eternal cycle of social media, life, death and rebirth. any new social media will be predominantly, progressives and liberals. This steady state won’t last for long because eventually right-wingers and your mother’s friends will join in thus reducing the value of this new media to zero. by then, progressives such as yourself may have found an entirely new social media center to complain about.
