Hochul said this? Yeah, sheâ(TM)s just grandstanding because she is desperate to keep her position. Sheâ(TM)s wise than Cuomo was, and keeps somehow fumbling the ball in every way possible. This woman is a disaster for the state of New York.

She squandered $300 million by stealing it from Department of children and family services to fund a pork project for her husband that no one asked for, a stadium in Buffalo that is useless most of the year.

This woman is politically inept, and is so blissfully unaware of the gravitas of this moment in history it is laughable. There is no way she will give anything to upstate New York. She is continued to defund and starve upstate New York of desperately needed infrastructure money, which is one of the worst things she could possibly do.

besides, NYPA would take 5-10 years to finalize these plans. At best we are talking15-20 years to get this project done.

Shame on you Slashdot, you are posting stupid political grandstanding instead of interesting articles.

They keep doing them because they sell REALLY well in China, dwarfing the American box office.
What modern Hollywood is telling you is that China already runs things. When China stops being interested in superhero movies, then we'll see a change here.

And THIS is the kind of post I hoped would be at the top of the mod heap.
Very thoughtful! Thank you.

I worked like to add two things:

One, this study seems as if it would look at what people THINK they want.

Two, it is what they want right now. As we move toward a world where more and more people have less and less, I argue this is what people want right now, rather than what brings contentment long term.

Finally, as a Buddhist, I argue people REALLY REALLY have no idea that what they are looking for is a calm contentment. That comes from an outlook/conditioning of having enough. Sex and fun are just hedonism, which make us want more. Then we suffer to try and obtain more (looking at you, Elmo...) but it's neeeeever quite enough.

Comment The real issue (Score 4, Insightful) 159

The real issue is infrastructure. people who live in apartments canâ(TM)t charge their cars and there arenâ(TM)t enough charging stations at work for people to plug in there.

people donâ(TM)t have time to wait 30 minutes or an hour to charge their car. They just plain donâ(TM)t. unless there was charging at grocery stores or something, which there also isnâ(TM)t!

Add to this the fact that about half the United States lives in a place that has really cold weather in winter and loses mileage. Battery heaters be damned.

The people who try and hand wave away these issues in the comments are living in an ivory tower. They have no idea what the average American is struggling through. there is no transition to EVS without enormous infrastructure investment in America, and since that obviously wonâ(TM)t be happening anytime in the next four years, I guarantee you that these EV investments from car companies are going to be a bust.

Comment Nepos (Score 1) 34

These useless Nepo babies are hysterical with their headlines and egos. This is why the French killed them all, totally entitled morons masquerading as intelligent by using their inherited money to cause trouble. Just petulant children screaming "I'm right I'm right I'm right!!"
I'm so glad these ones have no bearing on my life.

Donâ(TM)t worry, behind closed doors it's all assured that as long as they keep making the donor class more money, everything will be OK for them.

from Marjorie Taylor Greene all the way on down, behind closed doors they are incredibly smart people who know exactly what they are doing. itâ(TM)s all a show to grift and distract you from whatâ(TM)s really happening, which is stealing everything you have and your entire future.

It's a club and you and I aren't part of it.
