So it’s what then? Genocide? A new trail of tears where people are forced to leave their rural homes and move into massive cities that don’t currently exist?

Careful now, the model that is referenced defines the lifecycle of battery EVs as 16 years and hybrid and combustion as 18 years. Normalizing fuel production and maintenance to 18 years would put the BEV at 43.

It’s also assuming that you would use a single battery pack until the end of life of the vehicle and that we are steadily progressing towards 100% fossil free energy production (targeting 2033 as the completion date).

Global adoption rates, change resistance, production rates, raw material availability, economic impact, leaders who care more about power and money.. I just don’t know that it’s feasible and the burden is all being placed on the lower and middle classes.

Factual support that executive orders are easy to undo? EOs aren’t law… they are orders to federal agencies on how they are to operate. It’s as easy as writing a letter and signing it..

Here is a list of things Biden did on day 1.

Executive power is very dangerous. Just look what happened when control of the internet was given to the FCC in the name of net neutrality. Executive orders are how the US ends up with a dictator.

Why are we relying on politicians to help out our neighbors?

Another 63 million on Medicare and yet it's still a bandaid on a gaping wound that might get ripped off any minute.

Point Salad has been a big hit and I’ll back up what others have said about Bohnanza.

I’m tempted to recommend Cat in the Box as a new take on trick taking but I haven’t had the chance to introduce it to non boardgamers yet. It’s a very cool concept but the abstraction of suits could be a bit much for some folks.

This is only meaningful to people on Medicare or Medicaid because Executive Orders only give the President the power to guide federal agencies (in the executive branch).

It's a rather meaningless gesture to be honest. If a President can do something via EO then another President can undo it just as easily.

The block feature is your friend. Use it liberally and don’t feel bad about it.

Seriously, if everyone blocked communities they disagree with or aren’t interested in instead of resorting to the old toxic behaviors that would be a huge improvement.

I've mostly seen the laptop being related to the accusations of quid quo pro between Hunter, Joe, and some Ukrainian businessmen or officials. The same accusations as the FBI informant.

There were a bunch of photos and emails from the laptop but it seems they mostly just want to use it against Joe.
