Yup. If they want people to think charging is as easy as getting gas, then make it like getting gas. All these companies are tripping over themselves to make charging the most modern!/hipster!/futuristic! thing you can do when they should be making it as dumb and easy as possible.

Cue all the typical cruise ship hate on jalopnik…

It’s a shit move on these dealers but ultimately the buyer has the choice to “take it or leave it”. Smart thing would be to “leave it” but the dealer knows that there’s going to be another guy lined up right behind to “take it” directly up the ass. We live in a world of instant gratification; gotta have it now no…

Peiper’s picture would be appropriate with a well driven home point of: “This is why we fought the war. Merciless, murderous people like this man needed to be removed from the battlefield and brought to account. And in mid-December, 1945, the forces commanded by this man threatened to push back the gains made since…

Why can’t we do better?

So what? Do you think grocery stores haven’t been doing this since forever with how they place products? It’s amazing to many how many molehills you guys want to make into mountains.

If you don’t like it, shop elsewhere and move on with your lives.

Yeah, kids seem to be REAL cool about pretty much everything so long as YOU don’t make an issue of it.

“Even with early reports pointing to a likely medical cause, news of a death in one of Tesla’s factories is bound to raise concern... ”

Yup. Amazingly effective and satisfying.

Ok. This all sounds good...In theory. Sure. Charge Big Oil out the wazoo. Where does all the money they get, from selling there product, to all those subsidies come from? From your pocket and mine. From what you pay at the pump, and what you pay in taxes to the government. Big Oil gets fined, you end up paying for it…

This. I work in the power industry and our company owns coal plants. Cost is causing the decline of coal, not regulation.

Coal is in free-fall because of market forces, full stop. The CPP never took effect, so Wheeler’s suggestions that it caused coal plants to shut down are 100% false.

Step 3: Become Venezuela. Because taking over the energy sector worked so well down there.

I’m all for reporting a driver that’s noticeably impaired but stopping every single car that goes down a street on the off chance of catching the odd guy that’s 0.09 is bullshit.

Drunk driving is bad, but DUI checkpoints are just frickin’ revenue generators.

It’s all part of the great withholding/refund scam. Make it almost impossible to predict how much you’ll owe, and assess a penalty for underpaying. Result, most people overwithhold (to be safe) and so give the government an interest-free loan.

Nah. All is good. Not even close really. Just a bunch of different things happening all over the world. It’s been happening for some time now. And will keep on happening until you and I are long gone. The only real threat is nuclear. And with mutual destruction guaranteed forever, well. All is good. People need to…

Practicality? Adopt the European model of their top countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, etc.) and require high school age kids to get entry level jobs that no one wants to work (fast food, maid service, etc) while they’re still in school. They work for a year or two, learn the value of a hard earned ‘dollar’…

Who cares?
