Ahhh ok. I speak American. Good reason to find another country I guess.

This is a rule about English I absolutely despise and generally refuse to follow (makes me twitch as a programmer), but shouldn't the punctuation (the comma you added) go inside the quotes?

I'm sure it depends on the jurisdiction, but when my daughter was born we filled out the paperwork in the hospital but had to go to the county health department office to get a birth certificate when it was actually issued. I think we may have had to pay a small amount for it too.

The ones I was thinking of are $.15/kWh. I pay $.12 at home about an hour away.

Just because a charger is subsidized, doesn't mean it's subsidized 100% (but to be honest, I'm not sure the actual amount)

The charger you see costs a lot of money. It may be supplied by another large, expensive transformer (I've seen 150kW transformer boxes outside of fast food restaurants, and you'd need several if you have multiple chargers - oh, and they could be much bigger than 150kW). Once you have it installed, they need maintenance and repairs. Oh, and the energy companies are going to charge a lot more for a line capable of handling the equivalent of multiple houses going full blast on 200A service at once... Both installation and supplying so much power, especially at peak times.

That said, I have seen level 2 charging at very reasonable rates, some of which seems to have some kind of government or energy company involvement. Basically a few cents per kWh more than I pay at home.

Much like Gym Jordan

Or maybe Ukraine isn't the aggressor here and Putin is proving why Ukraine wants to be in NATO

You mean like being a part of the USSR and wanting nothing to do with them?

I'm also curious how annexing a country and extending your borders to countries already in NATO solves that problem?

And what history does NATO have of using their arms for offensive purposes, rather than defense?

What is NATO doing to interfere with Russia's domestic operations and sovereignty? Ukraine is not Russia, so Russia should have no say in the matter just because they're next to each other.

Same thing would apply if Ukraine were to invade Russia. Ukraine would have no business doing so.

Putin should have no reason to give a rat's ass if any country is in NATO, unless he plans on invading it.
