Pied piper strategy works so well. Just ask trump, MTG, Boebert etc... bottom line, there's 2 kinds of republican voters, crazies, and people who don't pay attention to anything but have been told to always vote R because abortion or guns are their hot button item.

    Worth pointing out half of those were BY this administration. Point is it's a trigger he's been dying to push when the situation gets dire, and currently the polls are showing the midterms are very much not in his favor right now.

    Doesn't that mean we can have all shows and movies on one platform? Isn't that a good thing?

    kind of like how Disney+ and Hulu just became one bill when Disney took over the rest of hulu. Except of course, it didn't.

    Now keep in mind it's been years since my son was young. But Mark Rober is pretty entertaining, the backyard scientist used to be one of my son's favorites (though looks like he hasn't been active in a about 5 years, but he's got a pretty good back catalog),

    Elon Musk hacked the vote with Starlink.

    That's the one part that doesn't really fit. That's like if I accuse someone of breaking down a wooden door with an EMP. The premise that musk found a way to rig the machines sounds very viable. Satilites don't unless say the voting machines used starlink to send their talleys.

    sorry I said that backwards, meant by the time and not by the power you get. But yes IMO that's what would be silly is I guess if there are exceptions like that where taking longer costs more, as obviously that's largely a variable they control that doesn't have to do with your usage, I could see with using that as a workaround with stupid laws though.

    I think their point is that for a business a captive audience is a good thing. Kind of like how some grocery stores have noticed that when checkout takes longer, people are more likely to buy the drinks and snacks they put for sale near the checkout line. Likewise a charging station could have an overpriced restraunt selling low quality burgers for twice the price of the restraunts 2 minutes away by car, and customers will eat there because, they don't want to sit around for 30 minutes, and then drive down the road and stop for another 10.

    Unless I'm missing something and fast chargers charge by the watt instead of the hour, in which case that's pretty big BS.
