I can’t prove it, and Trump cut all funding for this kind of research so I never will, but there is a direct correlation between the popularization of e-scooters and the break down of society.

The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.
