Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ah yes, a small bike so I can add medical bills to my already dwindling budget. Great advice.
Small refers to the displacement, its not a minibike. You wouldn't take it on a highway, but it'll carry you around town, and can hold a suprising amount of luggage if you're creative/balanced.
Heh, it's not a bad idea, but sadly it wouldn't be practical for most in the US. Living here, you'd be hard-pressed to find many people who don't need to use a highway to get to work. Maybe in small towns and big cities? At my own job, I can't think of a single coworker that lives in the same town as we work, and almost every person needs to take a major highway to get there. Theoretically we could take back roads, but it would take so much more time vs the highway that leads right into town. Commutes of a half hour or more are common.
I'm aware, that's why I included a highway-capable motorbike too.
The 125 will do 60 after 14 seconds of redlining it, and it's so de-tuned you can literally do that every day for years and the engine will be fine, but going 60 on a bike only works with speed limit 65 and wouldn't be comfortable for more than half and hour with everyone flying by doing 75+.
A Honda Winner X 155 gets 122 mpg and can do 85ish, and is kinda the minimum I'd be comfortable on an American highway, and not like long road trips.
What is this?! A bike for small dogs?! Blue Steel Face
That was el tigre.
All bikes are bikes for small dogs.
