I believe if the electoral college votes were allocated to match the popular vote in each state it would be fine. Sure somebody in Wyoming has 4x the voting power as somebody in Texas, but this may not matter much, particularly because the population of Wyoming is not that high. There is no election in history where such allocation of electoral votes produces a different result than the popular vote.

Weighing everybody's vote by multiplying it by their state's electoral college size and dividing by the number of votes in that state would also work. This would allow RCV and approval and other multiple-choice voting systems to work.

It can be called "The War Department", which has historical precedent and you won't sound like a moron.

Unfortunately the aliens refused to rename themselves "Trump". He tried "Aliens of America" too.

You are basically saying "there is no such thing as a Nazi or a Communist". That is false.

YOU follow your link, find the list of primary sources, select it, type Ctrl+C, then go back here, make a response and type Ctrl+V.

No I am not going to search for whatever you think is the primary source.

If you read the article, actually it is 'software that turns off charging when below 41 degrees and cold that don't mix well'. But don't let facts interfere with your rant.

I think it will be pretty hard to charge an EV in a location "where there's no electricity to run a block heater". So an electric block heater will work if the purpose is to make charging work.

That is for warming the cabin when the vehicle is on the road.
If it is charging, there is an electric cord right there that can much more cheaply provide the energy to heat it.

Obviously if they put the software back to the old version it would fix the 41 degree charge barrier. So yes he is 100% correct that it is "simply a software update".

It's pretty f**g obvious the problem is with the thermal management.

The company apparently broke the buses on purpose to avoid the problem, and is promising to replace the batteries in 2 years (!) so they can be used again.

You really are incapable of cutting and pasting a link????

I lived in Massachusetts. People in the region do not put their cars in garages any more than they do in California. The EVs are working parked outside. As others mentioned they can heat their own batteries, an ability these buses seem to lack.

Apparently the software actually disables charging below 41 degrees. So a software update would solve this (while allowing whatever bad thing happens below 41 degrees (fires???))

It's paid for by taxes.
There may be problems with UBI but nobody is suggesting that it is printing money.

Other ideas:

Real jobs could actually pay less than fake ones. Somebody might take them because they are more interesting, easier, or more convienent. There may be "fake" jobs which are not paid for by the government, but instead by charitable individuals (kind of how artists are often paid now).

If you blow all your money you will still get free housing, which will be an insulated box with a lockable door (you furnish it yourself), plus shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. These must be located so somebody can still get a job while living in them (ie in towns, sorry NIMBYs). Living anywhere other than one of these or a property you own or rent is illegal, you will be arrested and thrown in one of these, with no choice about location. You also have to be in it 51% of the nights, this is to prevent people from using them as storage sheds, if you go below this they are cleaned out and your property thrown away. The "rent" will be deducted from your basic income. I don't think food is a problem there will be enough free food available so you won't starve even if you spend all your basic income on drugs and gambling.
