The referenced Washington Post article is based on US government statistics, and if you believe those statistics, I have a bridge to sell you. The
Civil servants have been fired for delivering "bad" numbers. You think the remaining staffers are going to look for things that might make the numbers look bad?
One more thing this administration has corrupted: economic statistics.
Charging for Gmail is unthinkable, that would have so many knock-on effects.
Google already charges for Gmail, if you go over your storage quota.
My primary account has 17GB of free storage.
And thanks to extensive use of a Pixel 4a, I have over 100GB of photos stored in this account.
I personally went from dial-up to cable modem. No DSL or ISDN in between.
A few seconds plugging in? Are you just plugging directly into the output of a nuclear plant?
Are you really that dense? Once you plug in your car in the garage, you don't have to stay with it. You ca go into the house and get on with your life (or slouch in front of the TV, if that's what you want) while your car charges.

The best deal I ever got on a used car at a dealership was achieved using strategies that are claimed not to work.
I arrived towards closing time at the dealership and, having satisfied myself that the car was suitable, I just sat there saying the price was too much. They kept coming down in price and I got a great deal on the car, when everyone wanted to go home.
