i like how its made for rich people with loads of hype consumerism hiking gear so they can go LARP in the woods away from their email job for 3 hours, and not helping people with paralysis or the elderly. that's cool and good.

no it isn't, they reversed the decision thankfully (we own a 2017 bolt, it's great)

its rougher because of america, not in spite of it. its a self-reinforcing feedback loop. implying you are the grown up in the room because you are 'realist' about this or whatever is a classic dimwit take.

dangerously fast, this shouldn't be legal. if you were to build a drag racing car to those speeds you'd need a cage certified to 7.50s, something like this https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0362/8420/3141/products/25...

no, of course not, i'm saying that the political will to fix this isn't there, and to a point was never there, and we are now past the point of no return, thus this doomsaying like in the original post is bluntly and sadly correct.

the latter is completely caused by the former, we are, in fact, doomed. the effective course was already ignored by those in power, months ago. now the outbreak is big enough in the south to be uncontrollable, contact tracing is worthless, testing is near worthless (7 day test turnaround!), anything other than a full extreme lockdown will not stop this, and that isn't happening.

no one reading this is gonna 'swing to his side', the people aren't already trying to control the pandemic are already too hard-headed to even consider swinging, at least until them or their family members start dropping dead.

the implication that america is unable to respond to the pandemic because A Guy Was Mean in a Medium Post is ridiculous
