    Is it also very hard for monkeys to look at graphs? They don’t seem to have trouble with it when it’s in service of screwing us out of money

      When you’re asking them to look at graphs or the obscene wealth they can gain from screwing others over — yes, yes it is very hard.

      I’m not justifying or excusing their behavior. I’m just explaining it.

        the obscene wealth they can gain from screwing others over

        People are not becoming obscenely wealthy from hating on bike lanes. They’re just brainwashed morons.

          People are absolutely becoming wealthy off of climate change denial, driving hate towards bike lanes is absolutely a part of that.
