As someone that has a $11k bike I can clarify some things.

I have a Wilier Granturismo SLR. About ~90% of the components are carbon fiber. Carbon Fiber, especially high end carbon fiber isn’t cheap. Besides the bike; my wheels, pedals, parts of the cranks, handlebars, saddle, saddle post, and probably some other things are carbon fiber.

I always hear people talk about getting carbon fiber components for cheaper because you have a shit tin of Chinese companies come in and steal these bike companies IP and make shit frames. Look at Chinorellos, shit ton of Chinese companies steal frame designs and re-make them with shit metal and the bike falls apart after a year.

Another thing…why does any give a fuck how much my bike costs? My dad is an audiophile guy and my bike costs as much as 1 (not a pair) of his speakers, and he has a mid-range system. Cycling is something that I love, I ride almost everyday and will spend hours and hours on the bike. I’d gladly pay less than $11k on my next bike but when you get into the higher end market you’re going to pay more, that’s true across almost ALL sports or hobby activities

He doesn’t pay them though, she was just switching her story back. Here she is criticizing him over not paying https://www.threads.net/@masterbeefresolver/post/DH4WVh1h7Q7

So, you want to bring a child into this world with that man and not get paid? Hard pass on me bro

He doesn’t pay them anything, straight from the horses mouth https://www.threads.net/@masterbeefresolver/post/DH4WVh1h7Q7

Yea this is a bully technique. Scare people (colleges) to conform to your laws or else (“withhold funding”). That’ll work on colleges that are relying heavily on government funded assistance, but when mommy and daddy make over $20 million per year…yea they don’t give a shit. They pay to push people through as qualified, it’s why Donny was elected in the first place 😆

HC does work nicely and I’d 100% go by that. I’m learning Spanish and if my name was Connor I’d ask for MC - Mejor Connor = Better Connor.

I’d hop onto every Zoom call and open with “Mic Check 1, 2, 1, 2”

I had my dog cremated and the vet had an option to pay $100 more, and someone from the local wood working high school team designed and builds the cremation box. I did that and now she’s in a beautiful cremation box that’s well made and local. I think it’s a good way to honor my dog, I miss her everyday

If you look at US bonds, they paint another picture. Other countries are off loading their US assets (bonds)…..so the dollar, if this continues, will be worth as much as a DJT crypto coin

I think that person is long gone tbh. Maybe you could have that type of conversation with him in the 80’s and 90’s but not today. Money and power consume his thoughts so any topic you bring up he’ll revert to money and power.
