The article says it happened last month. December. She is supposedly from Michigan. Or has one of her mansions in Michigan. Or her Amway husband's mansion. I'm pretty sure its cold in Michigan in December. So bicycling accidents are kind of rare in December when its freezing cold. I live a couple hundred miles south of Michigan and there is NO bicycling in December in my state. Was she vacationing in the Bahamas or Caribbean when this accident occurred? Boss on vacation in the tropics while the poor education teacher peons have to work?

Only a fool such as yourself believes Venezuela practices socialism. Most of the so called socialist countries are not socialist. They are dictatorships. Venezuela, Russia/Soviet Union, North Korea and others are/were all dictatorships. One guy takes power through the military and steals everything. Probably China is the only somewhat successful true socialist country.. They had/have plenty of dictatorship too. But they did/do more or less practice socialism. They improved the lives of the vast majority of their citizens (one Billion). They tried/trying to distribute the benefits to everyone. In China today you have maybe half the one billion who are middle class. Whatever is considered middle class in China. And 50 million rich. And 450 million poor/peasant. Compared to capitalism where you would have 50 million rich, 100 million middle class, and 850 million poor/peasant. So socialism has worked in China.

But I think that the reason that socialism worked in China was that
China had been ruled by the Emperors from the beginning of recorded
history until the 1900's so no concept of independent action by the
proletariat existed. Added to that was the truly horrible conditions
that existed in the country. The country had been in chaos from the
Boxer rebellion (1895 )to post WW II. Western countries had taken over
the Chinese government's economic systems - taxes, customs duties,
etc., it was truly a mess,, people were starving to death, even in the
good years.

Then a guy came along and told people "support me and I'll make things
better". They did and he did. Admittedly "better" wasn't better in
Western terms but when your kids are starving to death and someone
gives you a cup of rice it is definitely "better" in your terms.


Cheers,
John B.

No cycling in December? It's around zero F here with 8" of
fresh snow and yet there's cycling in Wisconsin.

usually one of them.
