You can still find a few Rax in the southern part of Ohio

Nope. Everything is gas. Range, water heater, dryer, and heat. The only 2 pole breaker I have is for central AC.

My house was built in the 1940s. 200 amp service didn’t become standard until the 80s.

I know level 1 charging is there (although I also only have one exterior outlet), ~3 miles per hour of charging is tight. I need to be plugged in at least 10 hours for just my commute.

And, yeah, you hit on the big problem. EVs are expensive and are only really accessible to those already at the upper end of the spectrum. Belief that gas engines are more powerful or have more instant torque is not what is keeping people from EVs, so the point Randall makes is pretty stupid.

Which, as the article states, they are starting to end that practice.

Purchase price, higher maintenance costs (EVs eat tires due to the increased weight and higher torque), installation of charging infrastructure (some us need expense electrical service upgrades and added wiring; we don’t all have 200 amp panels and garages with 30 amp 240v service already wired in)

I’d love an EV, but I won’t be afforded Int one for a bit. And used ones, even if cheaper, will have massive battery degradation cutting range way down.

I’m not wealthy enough for a PV setup.

And I love road trips. Some of the most beautiful areas of my country are 3000+ km from me.

“Modest?” $14 a month? $5 would be modest. I literally pay less for whole as streaming services.

Sounds like a bullied girl that was being assaulted fought back, only to face expulsion for it. Then the superintendent rolled his eyes at the bullying in her hearing.

And there is no constitutional right to bump stocks. They just ruled there is no current law against it. If there was a constitutional right to them, you couldn’t ban them even with a law.

I didn’t say he was asking where the ban is.

My point is, they did not rule a ban unconstitutional, since they asked where it was in the constitution.

That wasn’t remotely the basis of the ruling. It was essentially ruled that they don’t meet the definition of a machine gun in the law, which limits what the ATF can do. It was mentioned that congress can amend the law and ban them. They just haven’t.

And that’s just what was disclosed. Remember him and Alito were claiming stuff was “personal hospitality” and didn’t need reported.

Wealthy employers shrug over falling standard of living and lack of affordable housing and food

If you don’t like the UN, Israel, then perhaps they should also repeal Resolution 181 (II).

I hate southerners and am from a proud Union state. What the hell are you talking about?

We called it senioritis. That sudden change of excitement to dread as seniors realize they are going to be separated from the peer group they’re mostly been with for years at their local school and now have to go out and make something of themselves on a new, unfamiliar environment.

Q was giving Wesley the body he wanted, not the one he would have.

I have read it, and find it bullshit. Libertarians always manage to decide to “strategically” vote for the Republican that promises authoritarianism but also promises low taxes. Again, it’s not about what Libertarians say they support, it’s who they actually support.

Paying lip service is meaningless. I look at who self-professed libertarians actually vote for. That is the basis of my statement.

Also, smaller niche communities just haven’t taken off like news and memes have.

If that’s the goal, fine. But we know the real reason is profit. If people are getting less, they should pay less.
