If they aren't willing to take on the risk why should the taxpayers?
Because taxpayer money is available and taxpayers themselves do not matter.

It has a guarantee to protect taxpayers money. How could it possibly end up costing us billions?
This is America my friend. What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. Perhaps you should read the Terms and Conditions a little more closely.
Did you even look at your link? Here is a quote from your "source": Wales â" 75% of households have â" or could have â" off-street parking and EV charging
Or could have... interesting.
Maybe don't rely on watching rando YT videos of police chases of teens on e-bikes
I said EUCs and e-scooters. They are real people going real places. The videos are not AI, so I can see with my own eyes what it looks like there. I have spent less than 24 hours in the UK, but what I saw with my own eyes also covers what I saw through the camera lens. The cop chases and such are random videos, but are also "real", not AI.
We can focus on the fact that lots of people won't be able to benefit from home charging off-street, or we can focus on the fact that substantially more people *will*.
"Will"? Really? I am from the USA, promises are utterly fucking worthless and to be derided as the lies they are. Let me know when there is sufficient infrastructure and we can talk again.
Ok, I understand again.
I would like for you to provide sources for the 70% off-street parking. I do not live in the UK; however, I have seen numerous videos of the UK: EUC riding and electric scooter riding has diminished a lot over the past year or two, but even still, police chases, etc provide lots of video evidence of what is going on in the UK... and I have to admit, almost every street with houses on it has cars parked on the side of the road. I guess that in the UK there are lots of people living in one house so all of the garages are filled and the streets are lined with parked cars. I get it... but, you have to provide a source for your claim because on its face, it is completely outrageous... which is why I misunderstood "off street parking".
Regardless of any of that, it is still true that many people can not charge "at home", which negates many of the benefits of having an electric vehicle.
So to demonstrate your sincerity in the discussion, list for us the specific skills you do want your tax dollars to teach in schools.
While I am not OP and probably not even in agreement with OP, I think this is a fantastic question: Reading, writing, arithmetic (of course the basics), unvarnished history, critical thinking, foundations of philosophy, advanced maths* (geometry, trigonometry, light calculus), English, a foreign language, athletics/gymnastics, art, music (with theory), and Civics/Government.
But; most important of all, none of this is based on age groups; rather, ability groups. Nobody should be artificially held back for the convenience of the System.
*advanced for children under 18
I do not understand your anger. I, personally, can not charge at home. Your numbers indicate that 70% of UK vehicles are parked out in the street, which corroborates my statement.
I am glad that some areas are trying to take this seriously and installing street charging; however, where I live, there is zero indication that anyone is even considering it; therefore, my statement about realizing that many people's needs are not being met. So why the hostility? What fake facts did I spew? It sucks that you viewed straight text as pomposity; however, I have no control over how other people interpret things.
There are alternative shells for Windows 11? I had thought all of those projects stalled at Windows 10...
my charging is either done at home (plug in at night, unplug in morning)
A majority of people can not charge at 'home'. Perhaps you should take that into consideration when you are doing evaluations on other people's actions.
Society determines what we need to do in order to live. Society has mandated automobiles and burning of coal. I fail to see how an individual has any role to play in that except to kill themselves to stop their personal emissions.
War is coming. There is zero doubt about it. It is close.
Most americans at this point will piss themselves and run away from dangerous thoughts like these.
This surprises you? The only way to 'force' values like that is to give government more power than it should ever have. We have seen throughout history what governments do when they can do anything, and it is not pretty.
I do not have a recommended solution, but I am glad that you brought the subject up.
Anti-trust doesn't work very well when a few pools of money own everything. Anti-pooling needs to become a thing, but that potentially breaks the freedom of association that we have all come to love and adore. It is messy; but, no matter the economic system proposed, this pooling of resources can break all/any version of any proposed economic system..
They've been averaging over 1000 commits per week to their code based for the entire year now.
And I have noticed no benefit. WTF are they actually committing? More antisocial shit? More rearranging of the UI? More user hostile stuff? It may just be time to leave the fucking Internet forever. Everyone and everything just fucking sucks.
Democrats are fighting for people to have health care and food.
Hey great. Wonderful news. Yes, I will admit that the Democrats are a MUCH better deal than the Republicans.... but
Your measurements are relative. I do consider the relative, but first and most important, I check the absolute. The absolute contains Democrats fully owned by wealthy people who vote for laws that further enslave the mind and body of humans.
Is it better to vote for a Democrat than a Republican? You betcha. Is it okay to vote for a Democrat because they are a Democrat? Absolutely not.
I will vote for absolutely zero people with an R next to their name. Unfortunately, I will be voting for absolutely zero people with a D next to their name either. I would vote for a few people with a D next to their name, but they are not eligible to receive my voted. I would love to vote for AOC or Jasmine Crockett. Are either really capable of running a competent government? Doubtful, but their voices are better than the rest of the Democrats... and FAR FAR superior to anything the Republicans have said. They have gone full genocidal maniac at this point. WTF is up with Trump begging the Supreme Court to not force his administration to make SNAP payments? Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick. The Supreme Court agreed in less than 24 hours. I am personally not affected yet, but I see a LOT of death in the near future as people start getting desperate.
Think about it for a minute: They are forgoing FREE work by humans, to PAY a machine to do it. Something doesn't add up here. Why are they willing to throw money away to make an inferior product?
Most importantly, why would anyone volunteer to help Mozilla ever again?
Truly psychopathic and sociopathic at the same time. Money has fucked up Mozilla.
