Welcome to the United States, where consumers built the internet infrastructure that monopolies profit from and fight tooth and nail to prevent communities from providing high speed internet to its residents. Capitalism at its most corrupt: privatize profits and socialize capital costs and losses.

Snarky answer: “yes, and when there’s another hurricane the insurance can just claim bankruptcy and pass the bailout costs to taxpayers.”

Your points are valid for all brands outside of Tesla, btw. Virtually no vampire drain now whereas a few years ago your statement was correct. And I can get from 20->80% in about 20 minutes. Really not an issue to supercharge with how common Tesla superchargers are. All of the advantages outweigh the mild disadvantage of having to charge at superchargers.

I drove 2 hybrids until I got an EV. Will never go back. Concerns about EVs melt away once you’ve driven one. Charging is less of a hassle than you think.

The fact that they would put this in a hybrid means there’s something limiting it (ie poor discharge power, overheats easily, etc).

Only 3 billion short

Appreciate your reply. I’m no fan of Biden but he’s a million times better than the guy that clearly tried to subvert the will of the people. Without one man, one vote we have nothing.

Yeah, in this day and age of much easier communication compared to 1776, I’d like the idea of constituents at least having the ability to vote on policy of interest. Even though I don’t always agree with majority opinion, I continue to respect it.

I like the term representative democracy because it implies that politicians should represent their constituents. Getting elected is not a license to vote your personal opinion - it’s to represent every one of your constituents. So if you get elected by one vote margin, you should vote in the middle. I know that’s not reality but it should be.

Did I stutter? Troll someone else with your shit opinion.

Your post is an opinion piece asshat. And I disagree. Go troll someone else.

Your claim to be leftist does not strengthen your opinions strength. I want an echo chamber of users with empathy. That by definition excludes all on the right. Why the fuck should I care about the opinion of a sociopath.

I am not convinced by your opinion piece.

60% of the US has empathy and 40% does not. I don’t give a shit about the opinion of those without because I already know what it is. Take your left/right paradigm bullshit away and talk about personality traits. I want an echo chamber of those with empathy. If you define that as “leftist” then yes.

According to you?

This bullshit is 100% written by corporate social media. Fuck that.

Go back to Reddit. I read through your post and you are a snowflake. I believe you’re looking for an echo chamber, which hopefully will not be found here.

Personally I’d like to thank Steve Huffman. Without him I would not have discovered Lemmy and I really like it here!

So in a twisted way he’s right? Florida’s is where insurance goes to die?

It’s all about imagery for Republicans, not honesty or reality. Waiting for the introduction of phrases like “mutilation abortion”, “satanic abortion”, and “puppy killing abortion” when talking about liberal states.

You just got student loan relief again FYI.
