My daughter and her husband have two EVs. They love them. They are both working professionals and use them primarily for commuting to and from work. As long as they stay in the city (Phoenix) they are okay. As for longer trips, they are screwed. The range is limited. Charging stations are few and f...

If so, what kind did you purchase, and what is your overall impression of it? Do you still love it, or do you wish you never bought it? What, if anything, don't you like about it? I hope to own one before I die, when I finally find one I like in my price range. I have tried test driving a few, inclu...

Since he's probably still relying on his limbic cultists for paying his bills, and betting on being able to make all of this go away as President -- railing against his rape victim is probably calculated as a net positive to him. Of course! That much is almost certainly true! I still think he's stu...

I'd just like to point out that the best evidence Trump is stupid is Trump's whole life. But this here is a dead giveaway: “I just posted a $91 million bond on a fake story.

. . .Democracy (like diversity) is favored for a reason beyond their ability to reason.

Yup!

I don't disagree with any of that; it only adds to what I just said. Even the Democrat Party is not entirely free of selfish, self-serving or intimidate-able politicians. Ending the filibuster in the Senate would help a lot and, if I am not mistaken, there are enough Democrats in the senate right n...

Totally unrelated, here's a study published in Psychological Science on how lower cognitive ability is a reliable predicter for someone holding social conservatism, or right-wing authoritarianism ideologies. Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes: Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through...

Even some Democrats are sometimes seduced by lucrative offers of wealthy donors and lobbyists to legislate in their favor and give them tax breaks they don't deserve. This does not make it right nor detract from the fact that too many wealthy and powerful...
