Trump says he bombed Iran

[EXETER]

That was spoken in parody

But yes, yes they did dear Watson!

They sold their Green New Deal on it. 

Just like they promised they’d install high speed internet where it’s desperately needed.  
They didn’t install a single foot last time I checked. 

Chalk it up to another failed policy of the Democra Party I suppose.

1) Government funding for EV charging infrastructure in the Biden administration was started under NEVI--National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program. It was a bipartisan bill.  It's main goal was to fill in gaps in EV charger coverage across the nation so that anyone who wanted to drive an EV would not be discouraged because of a lack of chargers in their part of the country.  It's always been the case that commercial chargers (Tesla, Electrify America, etc.) outnumber government subsidized ones by a large margin.

2) High speed internet was installed in my neighborhood and in my house as a direct result of the infrastructure bill.

In both cases, it is not the federal government that physically installs EV chargers or high speed internet.  It's always done by private companies motivated by various incentives such as tax breaks, low-cost loans, etc.  The biggest delay with siting new EV chargers is figuring out exactly where they should go and then acquiring the property and obtaining permits and easements to put them in.  That process is dominated by state and local laws, not federal ones.

Yeah true enough man, these things take time infrastructure not built in a day, there are job bids to do, red tape everywhere, proper channels and all, the government is always slow and private companies are always getting subsidies etc for these as well. I mean spectrum did reach the outskirts of my town and my town is population 200 lol I have to drive an hour to get to the nearest grocery store, most of us grow or raise our food out here for the most part. If only it was just a few more miles towards me :( maybe they will continue expanding internet infrastructure

Sure… let’s call that Biden’s plan was to install 500k charging stations by 2030 and has only installed 8 in 2.5 years last time I looked,   “filling the gaps” 

They’ve 4yrs to install 499,992 stations= 124,998 per year plus the 1 1/2 years I missed but I’m not redoing the math, nonetheless,  this deserves at least 100 laughing emojis but for the condensed version I’ll just give it 2

In all fairness I haven’t checked for awhile on the installed amount of HSIC so I won’t comment further and give you that a far as today’s progress.  

The charging stations promise by 2030 is impossible, I think you know that but then again you seem to run cover for anything and everything left I’ve noticed, so there’s that. Shrug and a sigh.

2016 – 2022: 0% (Program did not exist or had not yet launched).
2023: ~0.002% (Only 4 ports opened by the end of the year, all in Ohio, out of ~184,000 total ports).
2024: ~0.07% (Approximately 148 ports were operational by late 2024 out of ~204,000 total ports).
2025: ~0.16% (Roughly 384 ports were open by late 2025 as more states like New York and Pennsylvania completed projects).
Early 2026: <1% (Despite having over 235,000 total ports nationwide, fewer than 1,000 are NEVI-funded

While the direct percentage of operational chargers remains very low, the program has "obligated" or awarded over $670 million to private companies for future installations. Projections suggest that as these contracted projects are completed, NEVI could eventually account for roughly 33,000 ports, or about 10–15% of the current network

So far though it has been driven by private capital. So, looks like you both have points to me.

In my opinion I think people focus too much on Biden Trump this and that. These plans are not created by a singular individual and definitely not a president of the United States he's just a face to push it through the door. Its all just one big ol' stupid puppet show to me

So you don't know what it feels like to have people actively wanting, trying to kill you.  

Well thats war and what you willingly  sign up for.

Sucks but if you go round starting fights people  will fight back.

[Astyanax]

Did not say, suggest, or infer Iran was Lebanon or Gaza, so that must be someone's imagination 

No need for anyone to imagine anything. Your 'Mossad analysis', wherever it really came from, is plainly based on the idea that committing the same atrocities in Iran that failed in Gaza and Lebanon will somehow win Bibi and his overfed lapdog the war. It won't.

You could probably even find the contracts themselves on https://evstates.org/awards-dashboard but I did not use the site to get that information

Another place might be https://sam.gov

Could also check this for updates

Thank you!

that just leads back into my point that we are make the decisions not Iran or it's allies.

So you start this war with some sneak attack that bypasses all international regulations to take out a leadership and do some Sith lord ritual in taking out a school on day one. Like what kind of knee do you want Iran to take? Some kind of Epstein lifestyle where the rich have some gimp over for dinner? Or some kind of rules based order where things are sorted out on their own merits?

In how I am seeing this blue go, Israel and the US are leading the dance, Iran is responding in kind where it can. In how Iran is getting its regulatory procedures in check with the straight situation looks like they are sorting out their own back yard. If Israel wants to blow this up too, it is going to splinter into a lot more organization that has to be done if anything is to get through.

Like if the joos cannot trust money, what hope does this world have?
