I get it, you're a selfish prick and there is no such thing in your mind as a government acting for the betterment of everybody.

It should be self evident....at least in the US. The Govt is there...elected BY YOU to SERVE YOU and represent your wishes.

Why the fuck else would you vote for someone?

I got this from ChatGPT: UAW autoworker wages (2026)

Newer production hire $29 - $32

Worker progressing through pay scale $33 - $39

Experienced, top-tier production worker $40 - $43

Skilled trades (electrician, mechanic, etc.) $45 - $48+

And remember, cost of living in the US. is not ALL like it is in NYC or SF.....

Easily available info shows that New Orleans has over 50 public chargers. They are not hard to find and use.

And why do people keep saying "own" a home? Are renters not allowed to use electricity?

We frequent New Orleans regularly, the only "older city" part with a real lack of off-street parking is the French Quarter and the garden district. Most everywhere else there is suburban. That said, Louisiana does have the lowest number of chargers per-capita of all the states...

Well, they may have more public chargers.

But I"m not sure where in NOLA you are going, but a LOT of the city does not have off street parking....most of it doesn't like around garden district...Irish Channel, anywhere much off St. Charles....sorry I don't think you know NOLA like you think you do.

I've lived here for about 30. years....Newer areas like maybe near the lake have offstreet more...and a bit more once you get into the suburbs, but in NOLA proper, city limits....I'd say most places do not have offstreet...was rare in mid city and bayou st John.

And what are you going to do in that case? Lay down extension cords from your house to the street (if you are lucky enough to actually park in front of your own place?).

And if you rent a house...you are not generally able to get the landlord to let you install new power and wiring to set up chargers....

And what site did you use? Last time I looked and I'll grant it was a bit ago...even the chargers shown, many were marked "private".

When photoshop came out, photographers were up in arms about how this would destroy their profession, but photoshop became a tool. I agree that AI can make people dependent and complacent as they rely on it too heavily, but it can also become an amazing tool that will empower people by doing the heavy lifting for them.

I'd love to agree that AI can in fact be a very incredible and useful tool for humanity.

I just have no fucking idea how you sustain general peace through the chaos of mass unemployment when Greed doesn't give a shit about planning beyond the next fiscal quarter. And welfare tends to define how "rich" people are under socialist programs that will be funded by the wealthy to keep the unemployables alive. Literally.

This isn't a cart before the horse problem. Greed just shot the horse, because horse shit. Now it's ignorantly staring at a salesbot, wondering why the cart isn't moving.

Hopefully this trend using AI to jailbreak consumer electronics allows customers to customize their own media devices like these so they they serve the consumers rather than manufactures. Of course manufactures will move to counter this, but it will force them change even if it exposes how these devices are designed to exploit their owners.

Not merely letting AI learn about hacking, but actually teaching it to be a hacking accomplice.

Given how every human mind on the planet could be downgraded to fucking moron status by the end of the next AI development cycle, what could possibly go wrong?

Guess it doesn't really matter about SI or AGI. At the rate of natural decline being applied liberally, we'll be arguing with fellow meatsacks who want to promote Soylent Green because it's technically all-natural and 100% organic.

lots of chargers here in NY. my biggest problem is the cost at public chargers roughly 2-3 times that of at home and per mile higher/same than gas.

Thank you....I'd made comments earlier, that unless you lived on the east or west coast extremes, for the most part you are SOL for EV charging across the greater United States.

I guess in some major urban places maybe....or huge mega cites like Houston or NYC Los Angeles.....but aside from that, public charing infrastructure isn't that readily available in the US.

Public chargers, as in not in the apartment building. It's just LA. Electric cars are fairly ideal here.

Where I live I see precious few "Public" chargers....

It has been a little while since I last looked at those websites that show public chargers, but last time I saw very few chargers at all in the New Orleans area and even with ones there, most of those were private that were listed.

30 years ago you could sign up with an ISP and expect things like being able to host your own web server at home. Because outbound traffic wasn't being fingered, filtered, fucked, and fireNATted to death back then, for business-grade profits sake.

Now I'm supposed to believe every involved ISP who will detect your 'unauthorized' home web server packet attempt within milliseconds, is simply failing to detect the kind of malware fuckery that deploys across a million+ consumer endpoints for months?

Perhaps we follow ALL the money now. I don't like questioning the loyalty of those in charge of digital national security.
