Yeah, it looks good in photos, but not so much in person. 

But this bill has nothing to do with taxpayers saying how their money should be used. If so, they could make a law that no public institution can offer free charging and that would merit a discussion. I have no clue why taxpayer Bob and Barbara would be voting in people to force me, a private business owner, to remove…

the government is choosing to spend people’s money on something they might not necessarily want or ever use

The fundamental question you are asking is, “Should we use public funding to encourage EV adoption?” and the answer generally is Yes.  EVs are becoming more and more affordable each year.

Could set a good precedent. Next up, free beer required by water fountains.

Any money lost on this project is a pittance compared to what they’ve raked in over the years and will continue to pull in.  There’s a reason Boeing is moving their HQ to the DC area.

Mostly a case that most commercial aircraft fill the underside section with luggage, not electronics and countermeasures.

Darker colors absorb heat while lighter colors reflect it away.

The new livery should be scrapped because he is f*cking traitor, but I’ll accept this excuse.

Boeing also works on competitive contracts with the US government. None of this happens in a vacuum, especially when you get Congress involved.

The original livery is iconic and should not be messed with.

Seems like this old thing is required now.

Dark colors absorb more solar radiation.

Undoubtedly, but at the same time, it isn’t modified in the same way as Airforce One, or carrying the same electronics. Airforce One has significantly more electronics, equipment, and sensors than the plane you’ve got pictured with different cooling requirements.

Admittedly, the reasons are usually valid.

Hmmm...bet this is really hot then.

Old people exist and buy cars, in pretty good numbers actually. They’re not likely to get in better shape.
