Best tires for the city are schwable marathons or continental contact plus. Slicks are nice for well paved roads with no trash, so no where.

Why is every institution building all their shiny new infrastructure in the most climate change vulnerable parts of the country?

All the blob actors are making noise about confronting China. There is no confronting China without a draft. Even if this is all a charade to juice stock prices, it could easily get out of control.

Are they conflating currencies with nations? Or national power? What is this trying to say?
