Ford exec says most drivers don't realize the major perks of EVs like charging at home
  • I think you just agreed with me, but it's honestly hard to tell. EV makes sense for everyday usage for a lot of Americans. It does not make sense for every American. Especially those that regularly tow, routinely driving 200+ miles a day or may not have access to a low cost charger.

    For those folks especially towers, hydrogen is likely the only viable green option. Batteries are just too heavy for long haul commercial trips and eat up payload that could otherwise be used to ship goods. Power density for demanding applications is paramount.

  • Ford exec says most drivers don't realize the major perks of EVs like charging at home
  • On any kind of road trip... The only time I'm driving beyond the range of my battery. Taking a longer stop is not uncommon. Walk the dogs. Grab a bite. Done charging back on the road. I drove from Detroit to Madison with no issues. The reality is that most of the miles folks drive every day is within 50 miles of their home. Grocery store, work, school, day care, games a do for that and EV makes a lot of sense.

    If you are big into camping and towing trailers every weekend which some folks do. An EV makes no sense. The power density for the weight doesn't make sense. It's why EV for commercial trucks doesn't make a lot of sense either. Hydrogen will make more sense for those that need higher power density but want to be green.

  • Do we really want a leader who celebrates firing people?
  • Hi American here. One of these men is the richest man in the world. To assume his behaviors aren't globally reaching is wrong. The other, if elected, would control the most powerful military in the world. Of course well suffer here but the influence and reach of these two should not be understated.

  • "Also remember, CPI only reflects those out-of-pocket expenses. "

    "it doesn’t take into account goods and services that may have been provided to consumers by, for example, the nonprofit sector and the government."

    My point here is your raises should be CPI + buffer as real costs are higher.

    A fun image of what's in the CPI:

    Diplomas for sale: Inside Louisiana's nonpublic schools

    Arliya Martin accepted her high school diploma with relief and gratitude. It was her ticket to better-paying work, she felt, after getting kicked out of high school and toiling for eight years at factory jobs to support her children.

    “This is a new path for me to get on with my life,” she said.

    But Martin didn’t take any classes or pass any tests to receive her degree. She got it in July from a school where students can get a high school diploma for $465.

    Unlike public schools, formal homeschooling programs or traditional private schools, nearly 9,000 private schools in Louisiana don’t need state approval to grant degrees. Nearly every one of those unapproved schools was created to serve a single homeschooling family, but some have buildings, classrooms, teachers and dozens of students.

    Druid is just brutal

    No matter my mulligan or draw or tech there doesn't feel like there's any way to win against buff token Druid. Dead by turn 7 most games. Silence doesn't help because they get buffed back the next turn.

    As warlock I feel like I should just auto concede as a win doesn't feel possible.
