Charlottesville/Albemarle should begin the process of building their own zero emissions non-profit public electric utility to protect the quality of life.

I’ve had a new BMW loaner car for 3 weeks and tried their driver assistance. One time it wrenched the wheel into oncoming traffic. Another time it lost steering and pointed the car off the road and sped up because the auto cruise saw no cars ahead.

A safety group graded 14 driver-assistance systems. Tesla's self-driving option was the worst.
Tesla ranked the worst in a safety study of autonomous driving systems, but few automakers did particularly well.

All VA GOP US House members voted for the "Horrors of Socialism" resolution, along with Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA07) & Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA11). For the record -Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc. were murderous dictators, communists, etc., not "socialists." bluevirginia.us/2025/11/frid...

Jerome Powell should consider *raising* interest rates in Dec to stick a fork into scammy crypto markets.
Inflation and unemployment can obviously be trouble for Americans, but the US having such an enormous scam economy is a bigger problem.

Since fabulously wealthy people too often exhaust all legal kicks and move to forbidden fruits to titillate,
and,
since fabulously wealthy people are functionally above the law and thereby cannot be stopped,
it follows,
civil society should outlaw and eliminate the existence of fabulous wealth.
