True, de jure, many states didn’t have enforceable stay-at-home laws, but de facto, closures, mandates, and social pressure still kept most people at home for ~year.
You obviously had money, no kids, and AC. Glad you had a better time of it than many.
You do realize all of those things initially happened before Jan 6th, 2021, when DJT was president? This is the pot calling the kettle black here. As for the free speech chilling, the current administration has targeted people who talk ill of the president, which is a much more direct and egregious chilling effect on speech than what happened during the lockdown. Biden's admin did no such thing. Platforms may have taken down alleged "misinformation" (which they are also doing for the current admin, too!), but the Biden admin didn't target anyone who talked ill of him or his admin. If you have counter examples, feel free to provide them.
I said nothing about trump. Both parties are guilty of huge abuse. Biden did not fixed it when he got in office. Stop picking sides and see it isn't binary and both parties are rotten.
Look at the grandparent comment to what I replied to. I'm not picking sides, they did.
I agree, both parties are rotten, but in a thread pointing out the left abused power where the right did not, you need to swing the opposite way to end up there.
That logic doesn't really hold? I use Tesla chargers all the time and I dont own a Tesla. Can other manufacturer cars be banned? Like, why would I want a tesla with this risk?
If your other manufacturer's car catches fire while supercharging, they bear the reputational risk. The main charging circuit in EVs is in the car itself, not the charger stand.
