“People don’t like ‘defund the police,’ but voters really hate electric cars,” said Shor.
“They don’t hate electric vehicles,” replied Slotkin. “They just don’t want to be told that they have to drive an electric vehicle, particularly when the infrastructure hasn’t kept pace with need.”
I wonder why it hasn't kept pace with the fucking need??? HMMMMM????????????????????????
Back in my day, I would walk to school by myself when I was in elementary school. By middle school, I was walking two blocks to hang out at a friend's house every weekend. I would walk to the corner store at the end of the street to buy snacks if I had the money. I would ride my bike a handful of miles from home to go to the arcade at the mall nearby. In the 80s they made movies about kids walking along train tracks to find a dead body!
I mean, the obvious motivation here is racism, as other commenters have pointed out.
“In such cases, adults must be held accountable for their responsibilities to ensure a safe environment for their children,” police said in a statement.
I think the only way I can interpret this is for parents to begin a firebombing campaign against all unoccupied motor vehicles found in their area. Parents need to, according to this pig, ensure a safe environment for their children. That could only mean the utter destruction of every high velocity metal weapon on wheels within their immediate area, what else could it mean? Two blocks from any home would, I think, constitute their immediate environment. Spike strips on main roads. Sugar in gas tanks. Pierced tires in parking lots. The destruction will end when they have created a safe environment for their children. Anyone objecting to this action by extension would be a tangential threat to their child's safety, and should be moved from the environment into another environment where there are no children.
I think there was a mix of intimidation and also collaboration with colleges. Putting several collage presidents through 5 hours of grilling on their "handling of antisemitism" on their campuses can only read as intimidation to me. After these hearings, a wave of reports about what the "Biden administration is doing to combat antisemitism" were released. Here are some links I found in my searches.
Yeah it's peak 2000s.

Apple provided governments around the world with data related to thousands of push notifications sent to its devices, which can identify a target’s specific device or in some cases include unencrypted content like the actual text displayed in the notification, according to data published by Apple. In one case, that Apple did not ultimately provide data for, Israel demanded data related to nearly 700 push notifications as part of a single request.
The data for the first time puts a concrete figure on how many requests governments around the world are making, and sometimes receiving, for push notification data from Apple.
The practice first came to light in 2023 when Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice revealing the practice, which also applied to Google. As the letter said, “the data these two companies receive includes metadata, detailing which app received a notification and when, as well as the phone and associated Apple or Google account to which that notification was intended to be delivered. In certain instances, they also might also receive unencrypted content, which could range from backend directives for the app to the actual text displayed to a user in an app notification.”

GOOD comment! Thanks for clearing that up!
These are not pure EVs, this isn't new? Do I have that wrong? I thought hybrids have been around for a while.
