Could it be that Harley is not making a product that appeals to a demographic or has issues with quality? No, it is the (30 year old) children who are wrong!

Aren’t Harley bikes less desirable among the youths because they suck? They are overpriced on features, performance, and safety compared to a bike from a scary foreign make. And they come with the culture. There are no creepy MAGA dads in branded jackets riding an efficient, modern Kawasaki.

That's my understanding, yes, but they satisfy many things chuds need to feel good: 1) They're (formerly) made in America 2) They're loud 3) They were cool when they were 14.

They forgot the asterisk being *people whose parents and grandparents escaped socialist countries because they were part of the fascist ruling class/slave owners/apartheid diamond mine magnates etc "my grandad had to escape Cuba when the communists came to power"  And why is that exactly? Oh they were a plantation owner who had their slaves liberated and their land redistributed?

The person who cooked the pizza, wings, and, noodles needs to stop crying about fair wages though. Boo hoo you are on hour 9 of a double when I place my order, you would be on the streets without me! gently caress a tip.

Calling it noodles makes it sound like going out for like... ramen or something, though, not pasta. That's what my mind leaped to immediately, too.

Yeah for me if you’re describing Italian-type pasta as “noodles” then you’re talking about just the noodles, no sauce or seasoning or spicy meat-a-balles We have pizza places who do pasta as well here in the US but I’m never going out to eat a plate of pasta and a super-plate of bread loaded with other stuff.
