Nice, thanks for the insight!

Oh thanks for your insight. I feel the work “rocks” is doing some heavy lifting. I imagine they can be pretty large?

Is it true that farming isn’t physically demanding anymore? I figured it’s easier now physically, but you’ll still develop strength from the things that can’t be done with machinery.

Lol or you know how to use lotion?

Older gen hated sunscreen and lotion.

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

that’s pretty cool. I didnt notice anything in the article indicating why they didn’t release it free with in game purchases.

This seems to be talking about he NAEP test scores: https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/profiles/stateprofile?sfj=NP&chort=1&sub=MAT&sj=&st=MN&year=2024R3

Calfornia is labelled as 233 while alabama is 236. I’m not very familiar with comparing this scores, but California is listed as significantly under the average (237) so I don’t think its a stretch to say California is also significantly under Alabama’s scores.
