EVs don't scale well. At a gas station if you have two people in front of you, you wait 20 minutes.

My home scales quite well, and there are zero people in front of me for both the garaged space and the driveway outside of it.

First, you failed to fuck off. Try again.

Not going to happen.

Second... "They did quit first. They staged a sit in in an executive office with full knowledge that it'd likely result in their termination, and potentially worse." ...You're a complete moron, aren't you?

They quit. They knew quite well they were quitting. If how they quit hurt your feelings, I'm sure that they'd be happy to tell you to "fuck off" too.

Here's a fuck off from me for the hell of it. I don't expect you to actually comply, so come at me, bro.

All I said was 'quit first', not, 'smile as you lead Jews into the showers'.

No, you effectively said the latter.

They did quit first. They staged a sit in in an executive office with full knowledge that it'd likely result in their termination, and potentially worse.

You want them to disappear quietly never to be seen again. Sort of like disappearing on a camping adventure with crappy showers.

"Now don't lie about how much you make and how much you owe. WE KNOW how much you make."

By and large that's true. That's the whole point of W2s and 1099s.

Intuit isn't protecting me from anything by attempting to force me to shell out $70+ per year for a scripted walk through the government forms.

If there's value to add, it's in live advice from tax professionals (which Intuit already markets as well). So whether it's federal, state, or local governments versus commercial services guiding the data entry doesn't bother me at all.

They're listed in Article I, Section 8.

general welfare of the nation.

Delivering wads of cash to some random non-profit organization does not fit that description.

Even presuming that your premise is correction (which non-profit organization would that be?), a large portion of the electorate and a string of court decisions say otherwise, so you'll just have to ineffectually rage at the country for "doing it wrong."

Where does the federal government get the legal authority to "invest" in "clean energy?" I'm pretty familiar with the constitution and I don't see the word "invest" in Congress' enumerated powers.

You're not very familiar with the Constitution if you don't see the words "provide for the... general Welfare of the United States" and understand what it means. If your argument is as basic as "Congress can spend money," hence that part of Article I, section 8, clause 1 being known as the Spending Clause, "but it can't invest money in technological development through spending," then you're going to have a bad, bad day in court.

Could bullshit like this be the reason we're $30 trillion in debt?

No, that's attributable to Republicans' near religious belief that wherever we are on the Laffer curve, the optimal tax rate is still lower than it is now. Of course, the very notion of the Laffer curve belies that argument, because at a tax rate of 0 you collect, get this, 0.

why doesnt apple just leave or buy the US

After Apple's fled the U.S. and Europe, and been driven out of China in favor of Huawei, what's left to justify a multi-trillion dollar valuation?

Businesses must transact where their customers are, not necessarily where the regulatory environment is most favorable to them.

when recycling came on the scene the skeptics, and there were plenty of them, were immediately shouted down by groups who believed that recycling was an obvious, common sense way to help save the planet. It was an early version of trying to âoecancelâ anybody who challenged the validity of recycling. And now weâ(TM)re going to criticize the industry executives who were bullied into keeping quiet?

Which "industry executives" were bullied into keeping quiet about whether recycling plastic could work? And perhaps more to the point, who was doing the bullying?

If you're claiming that the general public was shouting down oil and chemical industry executives who publicly warned that recycling wasn't going to be a viable solution, I'm going to want to see a lot of documentation.

The Nursing Program at our local University requires BS degree just to get in. It's two years after that.

Then wise people should not enroll at your local university, because a bachelors of any stripe is customarily a four year degree, and direct BSN programs aren't exactly rare. Of course, I'm willing to bet that like many other in-demand majors, what actually happens is you apply to the major near the end of your second year of college, get in, and complete the major and graduate within four years. Not six.

Residency... is technically supervised practice of Medicine, not education.

As someone married to a now-doctor throughout the entire process, it's education. Obtaining a state license requires at least the internship year, so it doesn't matter what you call it, it's still required training. Obtaining a board certification requires the whole residency. Having a board certification is a requirement for employment at most of your more reputable medical institutions. Ergo, twelve.

Four (BSN) versus twelve (BS/MD/residency), but you tried.

Given that medical doctors have a VERY high earnings potential, letting them save the cost of their tuition entirely seems dubious. Though I guess they've still living costs to pay, so it won't be a totally free ride.

Given that medical doctors only achieve that earnings potential at an average age of 30 (4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 4 years of residency) as a non-specialist, with your average FP making $228K, that's a hell of a lot of opportunity cost before we begin to get the physicians that we claim that we want.

In contrast, a ChemE grad starts at around $70K after four years and climbs up to about $160K with 8+ years of experience.

I'll trust that you can figure out the breakeven point yourself, both without medical school tuition and when adding on a more typical $250K in medical school debt at 7% interest.

Hint: the doctor is in their mid-40s even when there's no tuition involved.

Whenever did Christ advocate using force of government (weapons in your face) to compel people to "help" the poor by forcibly depriving the rich and middle class of their property (stealing) in order to redistribute it to the poor and the lazy?

Ignoring your very leading question, Matthew 22:21.

NH D party voters are completely disenfranchised in the candidate process this year.

Private groups can select their candidates for office via whichever mechanism they want. The States, whether New Hampshire or otherwise, have no say in the matter beyond setting qualifications to appear on a general election ballot.

We must destroy democracy to protect Our Democracy(tm)!

I don't recall democracy requiring that the general public be enabled to vote upon every step of the electoral process. Did "democracy" not spring into existence in the U.S. until 1904, or is your theory wildly inconsistent with reality?

You'd better up your game. The pressure gets a lot worse than crybaby activists calling names because they can't rally shareholder support.

Yes, yes. We all know about that time that activists kidnapped your family in order to force you to vote your shares to save the mudskipper.

Fortunately, if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them.... maybe you can hire The A-Team.

What a brilliant idea: Take a high-current DC charging port, plug in an inverter...

Hate to stop you so soon, but there's no "plug in an inverter step." If you'd actually read the article, you plug in a 120V cord just below the rear bench seat. Done.

OR, you might read the comment that I was replying to...

I did. Yet the part that you quoted and responded to had nothing to do with DC-to-DC direct links.

If no that then most EVs have a portable charge cable of some sort, one that can plug into a common 120VAC outlet often seen in vehicles for a "trickle charge". Most cars have a 120VAC outlet somewhere that can provide some power.

Based on a quick web search, the cars that have outlets are (a) mostly pickups and minivans and (b) often rated for 100W or 150W max supply. You'll be waiting a long time to charge an EV for even a few miles of travel at 150W. Some pickup trucks have heavy-duty outlets (up to 2400W), but they're the exception.

An EV6 is (a) not a pickup or minivan and (b) rated for far more than 100W or 150W supply.

And then as the Emmett would say, the piece of resistance, which is simply wrong regardless of what you imagine that you're replying to (I'd imagine it was the part that you took the time to quote, reproduced here in bold, but then, I'm not as brilliant as you).

and realize that the relevant cars with electric outlets are fossil-fueled.

The EV6 is a pure BEV.
