America's allies were warned for many years on becoming reliant on Russian energy and how that could be used against them in the future. That time has come.

EU countries did that to themselves by cutting off their main natgas supplier, not from any action taken by Russia. And then whistled and looked the other way when the US blew Nordstream.

The sun doesn't stop shining and the wind doesn't stop blowing for literal months at a time. Your radioactive water heaters do for maintenance. Nuke fans love France for their nuclear fleet but half of their plants were down at one time for maintenance. Nothing is more unreliable than nuclear power.

When I bought my Commodore 64, you had to be a programmer to even use it...

I guess it must have really changed between the time you bought yours and when I got mine. All I had to do was put in a floppy disk and type a couple commands, and I could start playing games.

Although then every single tax jurisdiction - city, county, state, and federal - must have a different ad.

State and local taxes, being a "charge... mandated by a government", are specifically exempt from the rule. The average person is aware that advertised prices don't include sales tax and, perhaps more importantly, a person can find out from a different source (e.g. the government) what the sales tax is, so there won't be surprising extra charges.
