The battery issue is not an issue.
My electricity rate is higher during the day in the summer because of demand. The time when solar produces the most energy.
The US and Canada made two giant pumped hydro storage batteries so Niagara Falls would look pretty during the day. We can build storage.

Going into my neighbor's home and making their TV my own could help with TV watching of "critical importance."

Nope, they are too easy to manipulate by the people in charge of those corporations for huge payoffs. Either pay in direct stock, or allow stocks to be bought immediately. No more holding options until you can manipulate a spike in value.

Me too! And forget about getting an appointment in a reasonable amount of time! I'm lucky if I can get one less than two months away!

The comments are ridiculous. Smiling, greeting people, and seeing if they need help has been part of customer service training forever.
Don't shop at Target because they caved to anti-DEI pressure, but don't dogpile them for training their employees on how to provide good service.
