    You’re fucking dumb, they’re paid stations we weren’t losing money on them we were making money on them. It’s stupid as fuck to lose money to remove some shit that turns a profit. It’s virtue signaling to the virtue less.

      You’re a lovely person.

      Of all the news meant to cause you fear, angst and harm, this is not going to affect you in any way, is me point. Have a wonderful day.

        You are clueless. The federal government is the largest employer in the nation. Every single one of these decisions affects hundreds of thousands of people.

          Removing 8,000 charging stations at federal buildings is going to impact hundreds of thousands of people? How many people do you think are charging at the Department of Interior’s parking lot? They’ve fired an order of magnitude more actual humans.

          • Same reason why the removal of solar panels from the white house matters: it chills future action out of fear that those who follow will just destroy it. The 8000 that already existed is nothing, but the US government is one of the largest employees.

              I think we’ve got to learn to take our actions independently of the federal government. I can’t imagine any normal-thinking people are going to take their cues from this abberation. I agree it’s a bad look but it’s also largely performative on their part. They’re trying to provoke this irrational reaction that you’re seeing in this thread.

            Read the entire article, dumbass, it’s not just EV charging stations.

            And are you actually going to pretend that 8,000 is not a shit load of charging stations to shut down for literally no reason?

              This is the last time I’m responding to you because you’re such a useless asshole.

              EV chargers are useful to me if they’re somewhere I go. Superchargers I can’t use at my supermarket mean fuck all to me. Charging stations at a federal buildings I’ll never go to have no impact on me. Their political impact is in riling up morons who think that 8,000 is a lot of EV chargers. There are MILLIONS of EVs in the world, most of which are charged at the homes of their owners. Not at 8,000 federal building parking spots.

              Get a clue. And also fuck off
