They don't get paid commission. Since people continue to work for companies like this and are OK being paid so little, nothing will change.

I know someone who worked a weekend event to show case a product and they did extremely well going nearly 15k in sales. They made $50 for the few hours it took to generate that. The amount of effort to prepare for this, drive there, waste weekend hours working is not worth $50. Especially with how much gas is. I don't understand why people don't just say no.

The way it is written now is I can no longer buy a sport .22 pistol because the magazine has the capability of being over 15. This is legal to buy and own in Europe but now illegal in Virginia.

Gun maintenence is a thing. Parts need to be replaced over time. Upgrading or changing out parts is a thing. This is effectively stopping us from replacing certain parts if they break. If I want to sell what I have and buy something else, I can no longer do it.

It's easier to ban them than it is to fix the actual issue.

I am a fan of making them much harder to obtain. Make it hunting license style or something that you can apply for that requires an evaluation and a gun safety course.

I hope all of this is repealed because it is taking a freedom away from us. I enjoy range day and this is something I've enjoyed for many decades and now is being taken away because of what? This won't stop mental illness from hurting others.

Just because you do it doesn't mean the majority does.

That's why they use it as a buzzword. I encourage you to do your own research now that it's been brought up that it may differ from what they sold you on.

I'm a electrical designer and this is a discussion we have nearly weekly. Charging EVs on a commercial scale is very different on a residential scale. Our energy grid is in shambles.

Military grade is defined as the lowest quality required to be used by the military, often resulting in the cheapest product that is still suitable for military use.

As an electrician who designs charging stations, I beg to differ. The small 120v trickle chargers work the way you imagine. There's a much larger energy demand needed when you're running 60-120 amps per pedestal times 10 to 20 per station times how many stations we would need for every day commuters.

Edit: Here's a link to a fleet EV charging station . https://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/products/emobility/green-motion-dc-ev-chargers/eaton-green-motion-dc-fast-charger-datasheet-td154002en.pdf

These are the chargers we install in mass for every day general public use. Your going to want to look for input amps to see how much power they require. Your trickle charger is in the single digits compared to these.

In the US, I'm worried our power grid wouldn't handle the load if everyone swapped to EVs. We're already struggling with all the data centers moving in.

Words alone have lost all meaning, we need action.

Are they going to do anything about it or say he's a traitor today and then keep working with him like normal the next day? I'm starting to think they support the Republicans with all this inaction.

A windows update recently caused me to have to reinstall windows on one of my computers. It's only running windows because of work related software. In general, it's slow, clunky, and a terrible ux.
