EVs are worse than gas cars if you can’t charge where you sleep (a problem for some urban users), but they’re better if you can. Unless you drive 400 miles nonstop, recharging 1x at a supercharger takes as long as a fast food lunch. At a higher market share, every decent hotel will have chargers.

Over 80% of Americans live in urban areas or metropolitan suburbs. Unless you’re doing long road trips away from interstates, EVs are more convenient than gas cars. I never use a charger outside my home except on road trips.

I’m assuming that when the shutdown ends Congress gives everyone back pay and this cash ends up in Trump admin pockets.

Are we sure Melania wasn’t in her office?

Well yeah, it’s the Newsom admin explaining why the freeway was closed (correctly), so that drivers get mad at the appropriate party when they’re stuck in traffic.

The boats from Venezuela almost certainly have cocaine, not fentanyl. Fentanyl is largely made in Mexico from Chinese precursors.

They’re gonna send them to El Salvador, aren’t they.

Don’t the severely gerrymandered state houses (e.g. North Carolina) refute this?

OTOH, many people who cancelled recently were likely on annual subscriptions and will only show up as cancelled in the coming months as those expire. My subscription is technically still active until January 2026.

Salt Lake City has some of the worst smog in the country.

Donald- So I just admit that I was wrong and I get to go into heaven?

Jesus- Yes my child. I paid the price for your sins when I died on the cross

Donald- But I have to admit I was wrong?

Jesus- Yes my child.

Donald- I like messiahs who weren't crucified.

Agree. The outcome of the current shutdown is uncertain, but signs so far point to it having been a solid strategy for “opposing fascism” among the limited options available to the Dems. But who cares about strategy, Schumer gets an F.

Are they underpaid? Most people on this site poast for free.

This was their plan for the initial shutdown threaten in March. It would have been more impactful then because the lines would have been much more blurred between what they were able and going to do anyway, and what the shutdown specifically allowed them to do (i.e. not much).

Do they? The vaccine field has “credibility issues” that I don’t think are in any way rationally related to low-quality work by leftist vaccine researchers.

2 (if true at all) is wildly specific to a few particular sub-fields of academia. I strongly doubt that ideology has any correlation with quality in STEM, for example.

Why? He just baldfaced lies about everything. He’ll just say they are very serious, well supported charges, worst scandal in the history of the FBI etc, like everyone else in the admin.
