Biden's $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years

confusing the issue with facts!
My EV works great around the golf course. :)
Which they installed a couple of weeks ago. So far, I haven't seen any Caddy Escalade charging there:) nor any other car and I'm there twice a day. I think they didn't research the need for those stations but what is to expect from Kamalas running the budget decisions?
Not since the Reagan Administration hollowed everything out. It has to hire contractors now.
And the contractors main thing is profit, not public service. You hand $7.5 billion to a private company, all you can do is hope it builds the charging stations.
Chances are, the money will go to corporate execs and shareholders first. Whatever's left might be used for a few charging stations.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

Millions in funds are gone before a spade touches the ground to make a hole.
More illustrious are people and their beliefs still. A black lady told me recently that the reason for decaying green spaces around the city of Detroit proper is white supremacy. This, even though black aristocracy is running Detroit affairs and occupying all administrative positions for decades. The wretched white supremacy is responsible for weeds taking over no less

Detroit's problem was created by white flight after the Great Migration. Black people came north to work in Detroit's auto plants; white auto workers didn't want to live in the same neighborhoods and fled to the suburbs.
When that wasn't far enough away, they built more suburbs and fled there.
You put that many houses on the market at once, property values crater and so does the city's tax base. From that point on, it no longer matters what racial group runs things. The city is circling the toilet bowl.
The Tea Party takeover of Michigan's government didn't help.

You have a budget to buy European luxury cars. Plenty of Maseratis around ghettos but not a buck to support a few flower beds in your neighborhood? Not to mention millions spent on lottery tickets every week.
