As of now, a flat amount charged by the state doesn’t account for actual usage, even if it is a straight forward implementation. the down side to your suggestion is that it requires each state to implement, and it increases EV ownership (cost of installing meters in existing homes without one) also enforcement is another thing that would increase costs probably significantly.

I kinda think updating registration laws/procedures would be a better method. have EV drivers record their odometer every year or whatever time schedule and set it that your registration fees is based on mileage. Have sales require that odo mileage listed with the old owner paying that last bit of mileage owed in taxes. This way, a new owner has a reason to help enforce the odo mileage. No i dont want to say you drove 20k miles than listed, cuz then next time i have to pay for those 20k on next registration.

Interesting points to me are the fact that this 130 fee is:

• more than what the average fuel consuming car pay (70-90)
• Is on top of what many people already pay in state taxes to drive their car

I have an old, used, steelcase chair. the cushioning is a bit worn out (so not as soft as I’d like), but I play games a lot and I think it helps my posture quit a bit.
Herman miller chairs are also great, but I preferred the steelcase chairs because they’re adjustable for more sizes than the Herman millers.

I would definitely recommend getting them used, or buy the steel case refurbished. There’s companies that focus on refurbishing steels case chairs for nearly half price.

I have a very similar attitude as yourself. I want to emphasize as well the main content I don’t upvote is content I don’t understand, like posts about animes I don’t watch etc. So I have very few down votes tbh.

understood and thanks for the pic!

What about putting in an old tire tube instead of tape? Basically use the old tire tube as a layer? I suppose you’d still have to tape it, but it does provide a thicker layer. Can you also post a pic of your tire with the spikes visible?

I am a help a non profit that delivers food to unhoused people for free. it’s really great and I feel I am really making a difference in the community. I highly suggest people try some volunteer work.

China trying to keep americans on a Chinese app vs an app they can’t control. Honestly, even here in Lemmy the conversation surrounding the TikTok ban looks like when bots and bad actors were appearing to support trump on Reddit in 2016.

China is still an adversary of the US with lots of human rights abuses and no qualms taking any advantage it can over the US. Zuckeberg isnt really much better, but he’s a harder problem to deal with

Great post. Where have I seen this before?

So much this. This is a shitty game, but the only way to fix the game, is to play. Keep voting blue to beat the fascist reds, and in primaries, vote with your heart. A strong voter turnout for both will make the red party irrelevant until they move more to the center, while also pushing blue more left.
