No, American suburbs are good enough compared to American cities that are just filthy. Cities outside of US are just fine for raising children.

The best fraud is to inflate the cost of the project 10-100x.

10 is half-assed attempt at porting control panel to tablet/touch UI. I hated it. At the same time I have to say that 11 ported enough of it to new UI that I barely need Win32 control panel anymore.

Why? CM4 would still be externally accessible through 1Gbit/s.

Lack of functional fractional scaling is what makes me want to switch to Windows or Windows+VM or Windows + ssh to compile.

For socialists it's never enough, money has to be taxed 10 times. And I'm not using it in the slur way that Americans usually do. There's a kind of thinking that believes that money belongs to the person who earned it. There's another kind of thinking that treats everything as communal (but managed by elite class at the top of the system), taking anything away from the pile is evil then.

Assuming US' context, this is very politically incorrect and Americans would rather die than make someone uncomfortable.

I'm not saying there's some kind of grand conspiracy theory but there are people who benefit from states/country not being fully open. Let it rip announced today would mean the end of eviction moratorium.

Yet deaths aren't.

Fear mongers run out of ammunition for forever lockdowns. Low quality of arguments will be compensated by hysteria and insults. For instance that you don't care about children (while in their age group it's less harmful than a flu).

That's why I'd rather use Amazon/online stores to buy myself repair gear than pay hundreds per year for mountain bike maintenance. Similar cost at the beginning but much better in the long run.

I bought a bike last year. I've never seen anyone as unhelpful as the staff there. I even decided to start servicing more complicated parts (fork/shock) myself to avoid visiting places like this. Bay Area prices for labor are insane. Maybe I'll give wheels for truing somewhere local since it's tedious and I don't have that much time.

On the other hand I've lived in places where truing wheels, servicing suspension fork and other regular servicing was really worth it. Prices were good, wait (1-2 weeks in the summer) decent and you were sure that they did a good job. No screwing around just to have the customer get wheel out of true 1-2 weeks later, they'd rather tell me to replace the spokes when needed instead of doing a crappy job. Whatever needed to be replaced (rotor, brake pads etc.) during the service was sold at online-like prices.

I completely understand that plenty of local bike stores offer no value to anyone who can do basic maintenance. I hope they go bankrupt as early as possible. I'm not scared I'll run out of good bike stores. There's plenty of complicated tech that requires good technician. E-bikes and other trend also help.

As a person living in Oakland: lots of homeless have sketchy (stolen?) bikes. I don't see that many sketchy white people on them. No one ever said that different populations in Oakland are comparable in the first place. Articles like this are usually written by wealthy liberals living in nice suburbs.

This is by design. CPI is meant to hand wave inflation away. Stocks, houses and hundred other things fly to the moon but there's no inflation according to CPI (almost none).

Policies should be judged by actual results not by stated goals. If it was politically profitable then it's a good enough reason.
