    I’m not talking about luxuries or even a comfortable life, I just think that everyone should have enough to live under a roof and have enough to eat healthy every day.

      That’s a good goal. But it’s also fair to expect people to pay their own way.

      Arguably an ‘elite athlete’ is just an extreme hobbyist. And again, a hobby is not a job. If you can get someone to pay you for it, bully for you, but i personally don’t want my taxes paying for some randomer to run harder/better/faster/stronger than some other randomer.

      Give me bike lanes!

        bike lanes should be made for normal people too, I’m not a cyclist but I would prefer cycling over sitting in a gas fume filled metal can that’s stuck in traffic

          A good bike lane is a real joy and normally a huge asset to its population. Here’s hoping for more, wherever you are, friend.
