Here's one local to me. Slightly old but quite relevant.

Occasionally, but I work from home and my wife's commute is fairly short, so we can often time the roughly once a week charging so it's during the day.

Oh yes, your pay-to-win government duopoly isn't helping anything, but don't call it impossible. The Affordable Care Act was a start, and I don't doubt the right people could make universal healthcare access a real thing in the US.

Oh, I agree it won't be easy, particularly when taking profits from rich people.

I've heard it likened to a house full of asbestos. Knock it all down and there's likely to be collateral damage, but meticulously taking it apart will take a considerable amount of time. I feel it would be easiest for governments to purchase the insurance companies, then slowly amalgamate so it's all one network open to everyone.

Also it's a bit entertaining when someone opposes it because "it's socialism". It's already socialism, you just have middlemen skimming profit off the top while providing little value.

Your grid is, perhaps. And I happily charge my EV from my installed solar most times when I need to charge.

Rather than doubling your system generation size, it would be better to store the generated electricity. You can have a massive system, but it still won't generate anything at night.

Hey guys, many other countries have figured out that healthcare doesn't have to be a privatized, for-profit nightmare. Perhaps that's an option worth exploring.

Yeah I usually just follow the "try another instance" links until one works.

I've noticed Invidious instances having trouble recently as well. I'm sure they're not dead though, just need to get the next mouse for the endless cat and mouse game.

Sounds to me like more of a reason why we should.

On what grounds? Surely no one with a regular job would sign a contract prohibiting them from discussing the details of their employment.

Why would we be sued? It's definitely not illegal here in Canada to discuss your employment details.

 

This has been one of the key features I've been waiting for to finally be able to move away from OneDrive.
