What's wrong with profit driven? It's honest. Without profit driven, you end up with what LA has: 5 Billion dollars missing in various "help the homeless" scan non profits.

by that definition, jailing someone is retaliation for them committing a crime.

Please, keyboard warrior, tell us more of your righteous fight. Enlighten the bootlickers as to your vast campaign of fighting. the...somthing. We're waiting

I don't consider it a gotcha as much a relevant factor. We do know batteries degrade over time, and it isn't insignificant.
What that rate is become important in allocating capacity.

nah.
A properly implemented death penalty keeps the person from causing damage to anyone else in the future. Including OTHER INMATES.
If I've already got life in prison, I'm free to stab, main, or generally bully anyone else who is in there with me. What're they gonna do, give me another life sentence?
If we truly want prison to be even slightly reformative, you can't have this happening.

Totally this. In 1998, HDs were everywhere. Hell, the "replacement" for 3.5s , the zip drive, came out in 1994.

I don't know about you, but I take the good when I can. Hitler liked animals. He also pushed for VW beetle production. Are both terrible because of the association?

You literally disproved your signature.
Where's your magical battery that accomplishes all this?
Where's the magical plane that runs on only electricity?
I'm guessing your answer is a variant of the no true scotsman fallacy. Such as "well, we don't really need planes anyway".

You know what happens when you cut people off from reasonable fossil fuels ( say, natural gas) without a replacement?
They go back to the old standbys - coal, wood, whatever - that are way worse than what you just banned.

It's crib notes for Trump, "Make America Great Again". It's become fodder for the left. It makes it easy for them to put down anything they disagree with.
I don't like that? MAGA! ( or possibly ULTRA- Maga!)
Imagine the term "commie" in 1950s America, and you'll get a feel for it.

The LA times went from News Source to catering to the expected largest demographic in their area when they were bought by a Korean doctor a few years ago.
Quality of articles declined drastically, and they preach what they believe the readers like to read. Which at this point isn't working out for them. I dropped them a few years ago, I can get heavily biased reported all over the place if I'm so interested.
