Wherever shareholders interests and service to customers conflict, customer service always suffers.

That's why private equity should never be involved in health (including animal health), power supplies, water or public transit systems.

But, folk talking the orange git up as a potential peace prize winner seem to ignore racism, targeting of vulnerable groups and fascism.

@scaramucci.bsky.social Anthony, I hope you're wrong in thinking that the orange despot might get the Nobel peace prize next year.
How can someone, who's admin has viciously targeted certain groups, put troops on city streets because of party allegiance, get a prize?.

If you're biking with a dog, I can recommend this Atera Strada DL3 rack.
Very stable. Holds 4 bikes with the optional additional rail and slides back to let your best bud in the back.
Ours has easily coped carrying 4 bikes SCO to FRA and is so quick and easy to use. Much more secure than Thule.

And as practices are bought by corporates, the name doesn't change, staff stay, but partners become employees and the corporate introduces fee targets. Sneaky!
