    Conspiracy theorists are not about the actual theories. They are about being special. They are smart and figured out monkeys have been influencing the course of human politics since the roman empire. *They * are the only ones who “get it” that bic biro pens have finger print scanners the CIA uses to locate disobedient citizens.

    As soon as it becomes confirmed, they are no longer special, because everyone “gets it”.

    When they say “wake up sheeple”, they wouldn’t know what to do if you “woke up”.

    Then there are tens of millions of people who cannot complain about what happens next. Death of democracy in the USA ? “Well I didn’t vote for them” Wife/mother/sister/cousin/friend died due to pregnancy related complications? “well I didn’t vote for them” Etc.etc.

    There is never a party you 100% agree with. If there is then you are probably guilty of blindly following. Your job as a voter is to express your opinion whether by writing to your representative, protesting or simply voting. Then hold them to account when they don’t follow through or do something you don’t like.

    Don’t let them tell you what you want. Tell them what you want.












  • I know what the point was, but Biden is included as if he is part of some political dynasty. He was VP. A very normal situation, 19 out of 49 have run for president. It’s like being promoted through the ranks until you get to the top. Isn’t that kinda normal in most careers?

    So why is it “insanely improbable” for Biden, someone who qualified for the job over decades, to be “chosen” as opposed to anyone else.

    We aren’t talking here about how much cash it requires to become president which raises the bar above most people’s head.we are taking about political dynasties.

    So I say again, including Biden as if it is some statistical anomaly or stranglehold on politics is disingenuous, especially if you exclude Harris.

    Her situation of running for president after serving as vice president is EXACTLY the same as Biden unless you want to split hairs and say he served 2 terms and her only 1. So if you want to say Biden was given a silver spoon, so was she.

    Biden is not a dynasty. But if you insist he is, so is Harris, and that makes the original premise flawed.





  • He did say “most”. But even if you live in an apartment you may not know it’s possible to charge at a home, just not necessarily your home. So it’s still valid even if apartment dwellers don’t benefit. I think it is true that “most” people think you have to find a charger and then sit there for an hour everytime you need to charge when in fact you rarely need to do a full charge from 0, and if you have a home charger, rarely need to find a charger. Charging stations are only needed when you are travelling long distance and not many people are doing that routinely. If you are then buy an ICE or plan longer journeys.

    I think the biggest benefits though are much cheaper driving and instant, consistent power: no turbo lag, no gear changes, much quieter inside. I do occasionally have range anxiety, but then I’ve almost run out of fuel in an ICE before due to bad planning and closed service stations, so it is what you make of it.

    There isn’t a good solution right now for apartments, but in Norway they had the idea to make street lights dual purpose with charging points inside. I think that could make life easier for everyone. They wouldn’t be fast chargers, but it would replicate the home charger capability for those who can’t have them. Infrastructure needs to catch up but I don’t miss queuing for fuel.
