“Boy now I feel like a hypocrite.”

LOL, I can’t help you now!

I do wonder with motorcycle helmets how many accidents were avoided due to not wearing on, and thus being able to be better aware of one’s surroundings. I’ve never any numbers, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some correlation between accident rate, and whether a helmet was worn.

I know Greta’s Swedish but hey, there’s your answer.

Climate anxiety. It seems nuts to us, but that’s a major cause of psychological problems with younger people nowadays. They have been brainwashed in schools to think that their future is doomed and they have no hope. And of course add that to atheism and the nasty problems associated with the migrant boom in their midst, it all adds up to a nightmare.

Thanks, globalists, you really know how to take care of the kids, huh?

Peripheral vision. Helmets limit that.

There is also the idea that wearing the protection whether seat belts or helmets makes some drive or ride bolder or with more aggression because the protection gives them a sense of invulnerability. Ergo accident rates go up. Go figure. Just another of lifes little ironies.
