This is not a free market, this is not capitalism
We have become a socialist plutocracy

Without specific examples, your statement is hard to discuss. And hello!

Hey JBP!

I would contend that, for example, most of Europe, especially Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, China, a variety of African countries, especially those associated with the Belt and Road initiative, plus New Zealand, Iceland, Greenland, several of the ex-soviet 'stans, are all experiencing improving human outcomes at the moment.

Belt and Road will become Boot to the Neck.

Upgrading a no-name China derailleur. 8x options?

Can any derailleur do 8x, if the end points are set correctly? Would the stock, China, shifter work?
