Gonna go out on a limb here, and guess that people living in a cabin where the electricity only works a few hours a week aren't going to buy an electric car.

As for access to public chargers... I just spent the weekend in a rural area and had no problem finding a charger within 20 miles of me.

If you screw up, you can usually get to a charger a few blocks away and snag 50% of your battery in 20 minutes.

I charge entirely off of a standard 120 outlet, and it easily handles my daily and weekly travel needs, along with my partner's numerous errands and extra trips throughout the week.

Please. Send them here. In clearly labeled vehicles. With nice uniforms that have large letters.

One bullet 2 inches to the right could have stopped them from ever starting.

Protest aren't begging. They are a demonstration of capacity for action.

You're forgetting one key thing. Republicans hate Muslims more than they hate Jews.

Also, their nutty evangelical base believes that Jews need to be in Bethlehem in order for the second coming of Jesus to happen or something.

That's glossing over the many times he tells people to kill each other.

Pete and Tim didn't run, so they weren't candidates.

Try again?

Sure.

But the Democrats decided not to hold a primary that late, and I don't recall any Democrats running a meaningful challenge to her candidacy...

So, let me ask again. Who was an electable candidate in 2024?

Who was an electable candidate in 2024?

Here is the thing... You can work on both of those. Literacy is not capped by your intelligence, unless you are exceptionally challenged, like mentally unfit to live by yourself challenged. You can read more books, and journal articles, and expand your reading ability.

IQ is mostly bullshit. The test can help identify if you have a disability, but it's relatively worthless for determining how intelligent you can actually be. You can practice pattern recognition and then take an IQ test, but all that means is that you are good at recognizing patterns. There are plenty of "High IQ" people who can't figure out basic shit, like how to put on a spare tire.

So don't feel bad if you don't score well on those tests. They only measure how you did one time on one test.

Part of this statistic is because we have a high immigrant population that doesn’t speak English as their primary language.

Let's not blame the immigrants for this.

First, there is no official language of the US. Literacy tests can be administered in Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, or whatever language the subject predominantly uses.

Second, the US does not have unusually high ratio of immigrant. That's a lie that had been created by right-wing bigots. The US is about 14% immigrant, which is not unusual compared to European countries.

Anecdotally, most of the complete dipshits I know are born in the US. The people that manage to immigrate are the individuala who can read and write well enough to understand immigration documents (with the help of a lawyer), and have a decent chunk of money, or necessary skillset to sustain their finances in the US.

It's a time commitment I'd rather fill with masturbation and videogames.

Trump’s lawyers claim they’ve found a loophole that will allow Trump to ship immigrants overseas to be tortured.

Legal or not, why are you looking for excuses to torture people?

So what I'm hearing is... Deploy the Cali National guard to DC and Mar a Lago to defend Trump and the government from unrest in L.A.

I'd say this is a point for electric cars, but it's only a matter of time until those start playing ads... And you're gonna be there for 10-30 minutes....

Yep. Totally true. You are born, and the taxes are automatically deducted from your existence. There is no way for a state to change the amount paid, or to whom the taxes are paid. Absolutely impossible.

Ah, so you know first-hand what I'm talking about. All this shit going on in the US, and your populace just barely didn't shoehorn themselves into a far right shithole.

The biggest mistake you can make, is thinking that it can only happen in the US.

They swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. They have a duty to ignore, report, or even actively resist an unconstitutional command.
