Hey Dave, glad I'm not the only one who sometimes feels just paralyzed when I think of the state of the earth, current political climate and the BS cancel culture that exists now. I can say that yes, it absolutely matters, but you only stepped back yesterday in terms of the when, it's the fact that there's nearly 3x the amount of people on this planet now than when us "GenXers" were born, it doesn't have the resources to support 8 BILLION>> people, not without resorting to all the chemicals to grow crops and all the artificial food that's produced.
If you want "support" for my argument, just look back to when you were a kid, if someone asked you how many fat kids there were in your entire school, you could easily name them and if there were 5, that was a lot, now it seems that question needs to be asked in reverse, how many slim kids are there. Also, when you were a kid, how many kids had all the allergies that kids today have, very, very few, it's all the damn chemicals and synthetic food and also the over reactive parents who don't let their kids eat dirt, climb trees, build sketchy go karts, get in fights....
As to the bike thing, please update your piece to include the ever needed IMHO (in my humble opinion) because to ME, geo was pretty damn good in 2016, at least for the brand I am riding and my 2014 & 2012 bikes are still relevant today for most people around the world, you NS guys are an outlier, don't forget that ;-)
