Brilliant, I'm sure the bald faced bigotry of their coworkers is really making gay/bi players feel the love.

Some of the largest nationwide protests we've ever had have been during Trump II. But the distances are incredibly vast.
The continental US is just over 4,500km wide, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, which are massive as well. While DC is populated, our country is large enough that it would take a six or seven hour flight to get there if you aren't in a hub city.
If you are, it's still over 5 hours of flying from L.A. to DC.
Driving from San Francisco, CA, to WA DC takes 41 hours, when at highway speeds. And that's without fuel, rest, or food. People are super spread out in a way Europe is not.
The real pain is people not voting. Voting could have saved everyone loads of trouble.
This. And when we lift people up, it generally helps get people out of poverty and become contributing members of society.
It's not a hand out, it's a hand up. And for those that dgaf about helping their neighbors, it also is generally cheaper to help people once and get them squared away, vs being screwed up for life, committing crimes and using up tax dollars on police/justice/jail/cleanup resources.
In short, literally everyone should be on the same page. It's the moral and economically right thing to do, lol.
Chain is toast, chainring might also need to be replaced. The brake cable probably needs replacing if the brakes don't work. The brake pads might also need to be replaced, and both tire tubes probably either need to be replaced or patched.
If it's purely just for learning, go for it. But that might be a lot of money in tools / parts and a significant amount of time. I'd probably buy a bike that is less thrashed.
Fwiw, you can have a perfectly normal bike and still spend lots of time learning to fix it. I'd lean towards that, I think.
That is some super dishonorable shit.
