They'll be ok  waytogo

It's just suits brushing up against each other, maintaining ego and wallets while screwing with clients, dealers and employees.

If they'd make me a deal on a new 890 or 990 I could help out.

It begins...

https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/17/business/honda-nissan-merger-talks/index.html


The world is moving toward monoculture: one search engine (Google), one shopping source (Amazon), one language (English), one currency (USD), one music (pop)...

Soon enough there will be one motorcycle manufacturer and we will all have one haircut and wear one gray jumpsuit to perform the one job left for humans: shoveling coal into a pit to feed the machine.

The imagery says so, but sadly the monoculture glacier will lead to one artist and it will be Taylor Swift and it will never stop playing...

There was a book about that...years ago.

Calm down.

Honda is "roughly 5 times the size of Nissan" .... I'm surprised by that.

But it begins?   It began a long time ago... already...

It accelerates.
