Squids are the people you see on a motorcycle wearing a hoodie and tennis shoes.
Treating all motorcycle riders as “organ donors” ignores the millions who ride safely wearing all the gear all the time. You wouldn’t refer to all car drivers the same way you would an army recruit fresh out of boot camp with a new mustang, so why would you do so with motorcycle riders?
Motorcycles are a legitimate form of transportation.
Yeah, I don’t know what else to say to you aside from personal anecdotes of living in CA on minimum wage.
Fuck that guy. Hope he rots.
Fuck that guy. Luigi had no victims. Forming unions take work, but picket lines don’t destroy businesses.
I’d be pissed if some salty coworker set fire to where I worked and put MY ass out on the street.
There are $1500/m apartments on Zillow in that area. Less than that if you commute. Minimum wage covers that and more without even having a roommate.
Should they be paid more? Yes. They probably are. But this guy decided to put his coworkers at risk of homelessness which is the point I’m arguing.
Damn, dawg. That’s a pretty damning justification for shoving great personal sacrifice onto others. That’s the kind of thinking the Epstein class employs every day.
You don’t know what the worker was being paid. You don’t know what the other workers were being paid. Being in CA it was a minimum of ~$17/hr.
Carbrained bikehate. Normalizing motorcycle use and road safety reduces squid-like behavior.
It’s a terrific point. All the people who worked there are now out of work.
Do insider trading laws cover bets or is it only stocks?

Suspenders, my guy.
Fucking do it.
This was an unnecessary addition to the culture war.
Based, but also selfish as fuck with all their coworkers out of work.
A brand new motorcycle is only a few thousand. They basically pay for themselves in fuel costs after a year or two.
You bring up a good point and it’s dumb you’re being downvoted for it. That being said, I don’t think a union would have hurt the shareholders in the same way.
…Huh? I was talking about the crumple zones and modern safety features.
This is a nice thought, but if that older car hit a wall at the same rapid speed as any of those modern cars, everyone in it dies while the people in the modern car walk.
Chinese? A Kawasaki Ninja 500 is beginner friendly and has an MSRP of $5,4000. Add another $1k to get kitted out with a decent helmet and gear. So maybe $6,500 overall to get you started with a bike that does 50mpg.
You’re gonna get dealer fees with a car or a bike so the difference is negligible, same goes for taxes or anything else on top of the MSRP. Either way that’s over $40k saved going off the $50k car pricemark. Add another $40k or $80k to the car’s price depending on how poorly you financed it.
Those car prices go nuts once you add in the financing.
I don’t believe others being unsafe is a valid reason not to consider motorcycles as the same can be said for bicycles or any other mode of personal transportation that’s not a car.
