No way this guy made this shirt. Why is that important?
Because it means that some "entrepreneur" saw a market, bought the inventory, and set up a sales system, whether online, a booth at conventions, or both. There's a market.
Epstein won't end Trump unless he's impeached in both houses.

Perkins on St James (YWG) was at its best at 3 a.m., after leaving a mess dinner, still in full rig. (Or so I have been told).
It's long since closed.

Jr worked at SB during uni. Excellent employer then. Good hours. Dental and vision bennies we're BETTER than my CAF ones. Worked her way up to Trg Supr.
Stayed post-uni but ended up leaving due to the lack of upward mobility options.
That said, many of her work friends have left as things slid.

The Ecology Action Centre runs Bike Again, a co-op that accepts used bikes and sells them as a way to generate income. Try them.
I volunteer as a mechanic at Squeaky Wheel, a similar co-op in London Ontario.

Bike mechanic here. A lot of e-bikes use proprietary tech, esp for the drive train. That's not a prob if you have a network of dealers or affiliated shops. Rad is D2C, with a very small shop list. And, having seen some in the shop, the build qual leaves something to be desired.
