Most apps I use also have the option of a smart card or token that works when the net is down.

It was November 2022 that I bought my Nissan Ariya, the first year it came with a nice charging contract so I used them (These Ionity chargers a partially subsidized by the EU) and I used them in several countries.
In January the contract ended and they doubled the price so now I charge at the Tesla stations which have a nicer price.
Last week was the first time in 32,000 kms (20,000mi) I had to wait for a charger to become available, that was because 2 of the 8 Tesla chargers were out of service and I did not feel like going to the next one 7-8 mins away.
This is not the US but it proves it can be done.
The biggest problem was the adjacent McDonalds was closed for renovation.

It is a chicken and egg problem, sensible people would like to go electric but they feel range anxiety because of a lack of chargers.
Because at the moment there are not many EV's the investors in chargers are biding their time, this needs government intervention to get going.
As a voter I would not worry too much about corruption, next time around you should vote the corrupt ones out.
(If life would only be that easy)
B.t.w, most fast chargers are at or near a food place and from experience I can say the burger costs more than the juice charged.

Just last night I read a small country like The Netherlands with a population just shy of 18 million had in February 2024 145.332 public chargers, of which 4.421 were fast chargers.

Most but not all of these charger were build without subsidy, when you see the kWh price they charge it's pretty obvious the owners like the income generated.

The subject in the picture is meaningless yet the reason some want to ban it's continuing use is all but meaningless.

Funny you mention lawyers, a close friend is a well known female lawyer in a German speaking country and she gets upset when she's addressed by the female form of the noun (Anwältin)
I agree with her, her profession is lawyer (Anwalt)

What is 'sexual' about this image, the fact the person has an undeniable resemblance to a woman?
I find it pretty obnoxious to claim any piece of female skin can be seen as 'sexual'.
The fact this picture became a standard had little to do with the subject, it just happened because it was the first to be recognised as a test picture.
And yes, in these days of HD we could/should settle on something different.

This says it all, here we have a mixture of a very corrupt country (government/ judiciary) and Facebook.

That's addressed in the next line.
Whereby I can add that this works for any bank account where the bank is a member of SWIFT.
It can be quicker but so far it is fairly seamless.

It's a well known problem with so-called 'associated gas' that comes up with the produced oil.
When there is a strong enough legal requirement it can be re-injected into the reservoir.
Re-injection costs money but hey, we're talking about our climate.
Climate is one of the other problems with these fake currencies, their 'mining' consumes huge amounts of power, mostly (hydro)carbon based.

Uhh, the fish that died were the ones introduced to the reservoirs, they were not native to the river.
Native fish are still around and they will repopulate the river.

Oh and by the way, all that talk about global warming/ the climate is BS and Trump will fix the problem.

Yeah right, in solar cycle 26...

When I want to transfer money to anyone with a euro bank account it works nearly instantaneously.
Even a transfer to a EU country with a different currency is fast and reliable so what advantage would there be in a digital copy of my currency?

Ahh, so what about the guy that started WWI?

I just realised that 64 lines limit probably had something to do with a 32 bit OS.
This limit was why I usually would use Wordpad.

Notepad had one gigantic advantage, it could handle very large files.
Anyhow, I use Kate.
