Governments and companies have been paying these ransomers for years now.

a little duct tape and it’ll be fine...

I think I have a solution for now:

Sheeit. Every president I can remember back to at least Clinton has campaigned on "crumbling roads and bridges." Both parties have kicked this can down the crumbling road for ages.

For those of you that don’t live in this area and possibly don’t get why this is a big deal, this is a HUGE deal.

$135b out of $621b, and it’s called the Infrastructure Bill. Now, I’m glad to have $135b to spend on improving the roads, but that isn’t nearly enough to make a dent. Maybe if the entire $621b was for the roads and the bullshit pork was removed...

My in-laws live 3 hours from us. If we go for a day trip for a family function, that’s at least one, possibly two stops for recharging the car, at 30 minutes each. That makes a 6 hour round trip into a 7 hour round trip, and that’s presuming the chargers are as easy to get as gas stations would be.

You don’t think incentives factored in for the 80% who stayed?

Also, it’s only extra 20-30 min now, when there are only a few EVs around, so there is always an open charger available and you don’t have to wait. When there are more EVs, it will be extra 30 min to charge, plus another 60+ to wait until a charger frees up.

No that extra thirty minutes out of an already time crunched life, is not negligible. It is the major factor holding EVs back. When you can fuel up your EV in the same time and manner as a gas car, then we’ll start getting somewhere.

Those jerks tried to circle him looking all hard, but his vigorous pumping and spraying all over the place got them off as fast as possible.

Yep. And they move at tectonic plate like speeds.  This insurance mess might get figured out before the heat death of the universe, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Not counting all the hidden drugs, the [now] dead animals from the animal smugglers, and the hopefully none of the containers used by people smugglers with a dozen people and a cardboard box for a toilet in one container somewhere.

Damn you. You win the internet this round.

I mean, she is quite attractive... On mute. It's the whole Latina Veruca Salt thing that ruins it. 

Honey, your boyfriend drives a Dodge. Let's not get too precious. 

They should Charger with filing a false report.

“It’s like a non-brand car. It has like stars on it.”

I wish the driver in the “non-brand car” had started honking as that twunt was on the phone. That kind of brain genius would either stomp away to talk (freeing up the space), or lose her shit & take a swing at the car.
