I think it's a shame, because the Bolt was the only adequate attempt at an affordable EV in the American market. The Nissan Leaf had the first mover disadvantage of having a unique charging port and not quite enough range for quite a while, the Model 3 never quite got cheap enough and has so much locked behind trim features that it feels nickel-and-dimey, and pretty much nobody else bothered trying to get sub-30k.
So in order to use a Level 1/2 NACS charger, you have to plug into the J1772 port via an adapter, instead of the NACS port. Wow, lazy engineering at its finest:
That's probably not that big a deal. I can count the number of times I've used a public slow charger in my last 4 years of EV ownership on one hand. Slow charging basically only makes sense at home, where you're leaving your car charging overnight (where you'll obviously have your own car's charging cable).
Out and about, it makes a lot more sense to use a DC fast charger, where having a port that will fit the charging stations matters a lot more.
One was banning deadly misinformation (e.g. injecting bleach) about a deadly global pandemic, as well as stopping the “doxing, threatening, harassment and obstruction of” public health workers.
This is preventing citizens from monitoring taxpayer-funded police activity - not all that dissimilar from listening to a police scanner.
Could you show me a serious post about anyone actually advocating for injecting bleach and not a misrepresentation of a question asked by the President?
Publishing a persons photos, with their home address and advocating for physical attacks is not "monitoring a police scanner" ... It's putting their families lives at risk. People aren't just peacefully protesting.. they're actively blocking legitimate arrests, throwing rocks and shooting at them. The fact that there hasn't been a bloodbath in and of itself mostly disproves the narratives.

Obvious sealioning.
>Publishing a persons photos, with their home address and advocating for physical attacks is not "monitoring a police scanner" ... It's putting their families lives at risk.
The page in question never did such a thing. You are knowingly lying.
>blocking legitimate arrests
Extremely unlikely given the total lack of arrest warrants.
> The fact that there hasn't been a bloodbath in and of itself mostly disproves the narratives.
Yes it disproves your narrative that ICE agents and their families are in danger by people documenting states-sanctioned disappearances.
The supreme court has routinely held law enforcement can be recorded. You know this which is why you're insisting on pushing the lie about posting home addresses and advocating for violence.
A deportation order is a final judgment from immigration authorities that a non-citizen must leave the U.S., while a warrant is a legal document that authorizes an action, such as an arrest or search.
You don't get arrest warrants for deportation orders. The "due process" for illegal entry is deportation... if people don't like it, don't enter the country illegally.
Why are you lying about needing an arrest warrant?
>A deportation order is a final judgment from immigration authorities that a non-citizen must leave the U.S., while a warrant is a legal document that authorizes an action, such as an arrest or search.
Ok? They lack those in almost all cases too.
>You don't get arrest warrants for deportation orders. The "due process" for illegal entry is deportation... if people don't like it, don't enter the country illegally.
That's a gross oversimplification and completely dishonest.
>Why are you lying about needing an arrest warrant?
I am not. Never claimed arrest warrants are needed. ICE agents almost always lack a deportation order or arrest warrant. Almost all their 'detentions' lack any sort of order, their "probable cause" is arbitrarily believing people they see are illegal.
This is what happens in a vast majority of cases:
ICE detains a rando they think is an illegal -> They quickly find out they have a perfectly valid visa -> ICE immediately petitions for an immigration judge to revoke the visa for no reason -> the military judge appointed to be an immigration judge obliges and gives the visa-holder zero ability to appeal -> the visa-holder is now suddenly an illegal despite having a valid visa at the time of their detention and having committed no crime -> deported
> Now covering 64 critical technologies and crucial fields spanning defence, space, energy, the environment, artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, robotics, cyber, computing, advanced materials and key quantum technology areas, the Tech Tracker’s dataset has been expanded and updated from five years of data (previously, 2018–2022) to 21 years of data (2003–2023).
> These new results reveal the stunning shift in research leadership over the past two decades towards large economies in the Indo-Pacific, led by China’s exceptional gains. The US led in 60 of 64 technologies in the five years from 2003 to 2007, but in the most recent five years (2019–2023) is leading in seven. China led in just three of 64 technologies in 2003–2007 but is now the lead country in 57 of 64 technologies in 2019–2023, increasing its lead from our rankings last year (2018–2022), where it was leading in 52 technologies.
> Our research reveals that China has built the foundations to position itself as the world’s leading science and technology superpower, by establishing a sometimes stunning lead in high-impact research across the majority of critical and emerging technology domains.
> China’s global lead extends to 37 out of 44 technologies that ASPI is now tracking, covering a range of crucial technology fields spanning defence, space, robotics, energy, the environment, biotechnology, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced materials and key quantum technology areas. The Critical Technology Tracker shows that, for some technologies, all of the world’s top 10 leading research institutions are based in China and are collectively generating nine times more high-impact research papers than the second-ranked country (most often the US). Notably, the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranks highly (and often first or second) across many of the 44 technologies included in the Critical Technology Tracker. We also see China’s efforts being bolstered through talent and knowledge import: one-fifth of its high-impact papers are being authored by researchers with postgraduate training in a Five-Eyes country. China’s lead is the product of deliberate design and long-term policy planning, as repeatedly outlined by Xi Jinping and his predecessors.
