People these days pay more for bike tires than car tires these days already. There are $10k bikes now. Seems there's no amount of money some people won't pay for bike parts these days.

Were "the right" the ones at protests holding up hundreds of signs that said "defund the police"?

I feel like these are probably astroturfed movements. Because you can say the same thing about the "antiwork" movement, whose proponents claim to actually want to work.
The designation of your movement is kind of important.
The software is actually really good but it'll probably only get 1-2 updates.
Why would they do that?
