You just reminded me of when
You just reminded me of when I went out after the snow and ice had gone. There was still quite a lot of grit and salt from the gritter lorries and my chain picked up a lot. I had to clean it twice but I couldn’t get rid of it and I’d end up with this orange sheen sheen everywhere.
Had to replace the chain and clean the sprockets again.

The financialisation of car consumption
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13563467.2023.2254727
“Car manufacturers have promoted PCPs to solve long-running problems in their business model related to the need to maintain a certain level of ongoing new car consumption to conform with path-dependent patterns of production. In doing so, they have partly exported their own financial risk onto consumers, leveraging what is widely construed as consumers’ material dependency on their vehicles for transport to do so.”
