Why don't people care about human rights anymore?
  • Norms are eroded when they are violated and there are no consequences.
    'Why should I pay attention to carpool lane signs if there is not penalty for violating them? I won't.' Lots of people think this way and now they are just another lane.
    Violations of norms are also contagious. If one traffic law doesn't matter, maybe we can get away with violating it more. 'I did it before and didn't get caught. Maybe I can keep doing it to save time'

  • Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years
  • It prob takes at least 6 months for the money to be available, a bunch of time to figure out land permissions and contracts, time to negotiate with suppliers. 2 years means first stations prob starting to roll out about now.

  • Spouse - 0; garage door opener - 3

    Today marked the third time my spouse has lost their battle with the garage door opener. We have historically been used to a smaller car. But upgrading to a new EV crossover (a year ago) has brought with it its own challenges.

    The first time it happened, the lift gate was up when the door button was pressed. Minor scratch to the plastic covering the light bar.

    The second time, a few months ago, a scratch in the back metal that is somewhat noticeable. They said they were tired after a long day and the washer door was open so it seemed like they needed more space and weren't thinking enough when they closed it.

    The third time, tonight, they were also tired. No washer this time. Noticeable small dent in the metal panel accompanied with a scratch that went thru to the metal underneath.

    I have gone ahead and finished putting up the tennis ball on a string as a guide. I started the idea after incident #2 but procrastinated on putting it up as I thought that was the end of it. I learned we needed it.

    I have let them know that accidents can happen, but that they can be responsible for getting it fixed. It's ok. We just need to keep this car now until it dies.

    Any restaurants you know that are reducing plastic?

    Looking to see if you know of any restaurants doing anything interesting for reducing takeout plastic waste. Deposit for using Pyrex? Discount for byo? Etc
