It’s this sound principle that drives a recent bill in North Carolina, H1049. It aims to force businesses to disclose what the average cost is for each customer if the business offers free EV charging:
“Any person who is engaged in a business where electric vehicle charging stations are provided for use by the public at no charge shall ensure that each customer of the business, without regard to whether the customer uses the charging stations, is informed of, on the receipt for purchases, the percentage of the amount of the customer’s total purchase price that is a result of the business providing electric vehicle charging stations at no charge.”
The idea here is obviously to discourage businesses from offering free EV charging. When their customers who don’t own an EV see that it costs them something for those “rich people” to charge their cars, they’ll be mad about it and complain to the business. So, the business will have to either start charging for charging or they’ll have to shut the stations down.
This isn’t going to de-escalate the fascists. Has faux news started describing the would be assassin as an antifa foot soldier yet?
And then there were four…
(Or did it just give him a boost?)
All those quiet parts keep getting louder.
“I condemn any statement, but don’t take it out of context,” Stefanik told HuffPost. “That is not accurate reporting.”
Hmm. Let’s see:
“[M]any people don’t voice their opinion or just become, see it as utter futility,” Hunt said. “How do you rouse the population? How do you get people thinking about the possibility of change here in New York state and what that might mean for our, for everyone here?”
“I was thinking the other day about — somebody had mentioned on the radio Adolf Hitler and how he aroused the crowds,” Paladino responded, chuckling a little bit as he said the Nazi dictator’s name. “And he would get up there screaming these epithets and these people were just — they were hypnotized by him. That’s, I guess, I guess that’s the kind of leader we need today. We need somebody inspirational.”
Yeah, no. Context is right there.

don’t wanna be an american idiot…
oh, and fuck ted cruz!
Yeah. Reading it in context basically turns his statement into:
“We need leaders who will scream epithets at supporters and hypnotize them into a genocidal rage.”
I heartily disagree.
Yup. Them thar is borned babies! They ain’t our problem. We just gotta make sure the keep gettin’ borned, and make sure them worthless slut mommas don’t get no commie socialist welfare dollars. Then everything will be alright, 'cause Sean Hannity told me so.
(/s, if it’s really needed)
