  • Nope, not even close. Reality is that doing things with oversight takes time. Writing grant guidelines and requirements takes time. Reviewing bids, or whatever mechanism is chosen to allocate the very finite pool of money takes time. Adherence to financial regulations, as any Gov. program must, takes time. Permitting takes time. Construction contracting takes time. Construction takes time. And, oh look a year later and the charge stations are appearing.
    Meeting the "instant gratification" crowd's expectations is how you lose most of the funding to waste and fraud.

  • Did Biden forget which about the magic wands, which you obviously know all about, that cause charge stations to spontaneously appear?
    I mean, the first of the ones funded went into operation in December of 2023, which was the earliest it could as that is when funding was available and enough time had passed to get it permitted and installed, but wave the damned wand!!!!! demands internet padme. /s

    In case anyone wants to know what is really going on with the EV charge stations;

  • "More of a set of guidelines" Kirk and Picard in unison with a chorus of "Exactly" from every other Federation Officer or Official except any featured in anything involving a speech about the prime directive by that episode's primary cast.

  • You are talking about the R's from a decade and a half ago. Those folks all got tossed. The R's are bought by Putin and everyone knows it. They are just too cowardly to admit it and thus arrange the deck chairs to give cover.
