this is a link inside the articel

https://nypost.com/2024/06/05/business/democratic-senator-blasts-5b-program-as-failure-after-only-7-ev-charging-stations-open-in-3-years/



i suspect this is a big oil article

and it is obviously tangential

as i write this, my company has installed 10 charging stations in lagos . we are installing two more this week

public charging station are either ac or dc. dc are the fast charging ones . a fast charger dc is rated from 60kw to 120kw to 300kw . these can charge your vehicle in 30 minutes

installing the charger is only one part of the equation. the other part of the equation is where do you get the power from? and who pays for it?

we met with a guy who wanted to deploy 3 chargers for a bus terminal we did the maths and told him he would need a transformer to power them properly . who then pays for the power? so all those issues have to be addressed since this is public infrastructure . that is the part the article is skimming over

the other part you are missing is this is actually how you grow industries

obama took two chances in his admin - solynara and tesla. solynara failed, but without the loan, tesla would have failed as well and that is actually how governments create industries and jobs - not by tariffs

On a side note about car charging and EV . I'm always critical of Green New deal with regards to reliability if renewable sources Activists have made it impossible to build nuclear power stations in the West, hydros are huge undertakings on vast amounts if land, they banning coal Literally Carbon Dioxide has been sentenced to death.

Back to your charging station .EV need huge batteries, Teslas have some upto 100KW Take an average American with AC, heating and every other fancy thing. Spends average 30KW a day computed annually. One Tesla or 100KW car needs more energy than 3 houses . It's ironic to use diesel to charge EVs and for govt to waste money virtue signalling.

You are too dumb to understand anything

Only dumb people believed Biden did anything

Those charging stations Too many conditions before you get a contract to build one . Firm must have DEI, such kind of liberal nonsense.

The bottom line s you cant compete fairly with someone using a different standard. Its like you running a race with someone using banned steroids

China doesnt play fair, they manipulate their currency, they pay low wages, they dont care about their workers etc, Its either US meet them in using the same tactics or find other ways to counter them through tariffs

How can more regulations, taxing the rich and strong unions bring manufacturing, those 3 are all anti manufacturing. These are all the things absent in China which is why they are the manufacturing hub of the world

China ain is to dethrone America as the Superpower using every means possible. A developing country by WTO whise length of high speed train tracks is more than the rest of the world combined,2bd largest consumer of oil etc.

Notice how Kash Patel won't even talk about investigating the first attempt?

I'm losing confidence in him as well.

I'm also losing hope. Pam. Nondi6has been to fox and media interviews 75 times!!
Kash and Bongino I believe will are there because they came out strongly against deep state actors, I believe they will get a few people . Else they lose every goodwill. Hopefully they get some scalp.

No, it will create jobs.
The manufacturing is in China. If they bring it home and employ 1 person it is still a plus.

And if the bold is the reason dump is tanking the economy, then smart. And no, I don't expect him to announce that's his policy, and even expect him to lie if it were.

Unfortunately, Americans wouldn't exactly appreciate the reduction in wages if assets don't drop in value too, and I can't see asset depreciation being good policy anywhere not to talk of in the USA.

Tariffs are so bad mmmh . WH is unable to cope up with the scheduling of world leaders making their pilgrimage to DC
When Netanyahu was talking about zero tarriffs, Trump face was like why you had them before?.
EU Komisar has been talking to China to strategize on how to counter the tariffs
Senate wants tariffsm changes to be ratified by the house, a sure Veto from Trump.

---Like many others, I’m not satisfied with the influx of cheap or lower-quality products from China that have flooded global markets---however, we cannot overlook the country's vast manufacturing capacity and large labour force---imposing trade tariffs isn’t the right solution to this issue---

If Chinese cannot do without Nigerian market, they should allow us to export to theirs , not make it virtually impossible . They can't do without guacamole.. hint hint

No you are missing it. As it is I will only buy Samsung, wd, crucial /sk hynix/ Intel/solidigm

The problem is that people will try to sell fakes or used as new.

If you don't know what to look out for you will get messed up. What happens if you get a fake drive from alibaba? What course do you have for resutution?

The price I quoted is almost what you did. I singled out one Disk for the western markets.
We also get the same from them, with stamps etc but obviously of poorer quality.
I have second hard servers in the office bought from ebay UK mostly that I use for lab testing environment. Good quality too good specs at a fraction of the cost of new ones. I actually use them as gateway servers in some sites .

Trump is fighting my war on Chinco products.
They never cared about Africa because they make shit loads from their higher priced higher quality exports to America and other western nations
There will be serious trade rebalancing. China will get lots of 110V equipment they can't sell to America and can't dump them anywhere..

raumdeuter:
If these countries make buying from America hard, then America can make buying from them hard too
If these countries cannot purchase American made, then American consumers should be purchasing American goods or not make it so easy to ignore American made goods for foreign ones
What we consume in America can be produced in America even if at higher cost.

You are so flippant about the loss of jobs because it doesn't affect you, There are people whose jobs are being shipped out daily because it will always be cheaper abroad

Main point Before companies shipped manufacturing abroad, they was making them in America. An example. Texas Instrument calculators were all the rave before Casios dominated..

Zelensky represents the greedy and evil globalists who got used to stealing and enjoying taxpayer's money. That's the part people forget - the financial aid from the US is entirely money pried off the hands of the American taxpayers.

That money was being recirculated and redistributed to the globalists, NGOs, the DNC, personal coffers of Biden, Kamala etc as well as the bloodthirsty congressmen and women from both houses including but not limited to Lindsey Graham, Chris Murphy, Mark Kelly etc.

So Zelensky trying to end Trump is akin to an assassin that pulled the trigger. He was only doing what he was instructed to do. Trump signified the end of the largesse and like SLS said, when you fight corruption, it will fight you back.

Just seen a post that Ryan Routh the guy who attempted to kill Trump at the golf club had been speaking to a contact about buying a stinger missile from Ukraine. Contact was not a Fed guy.

NEW: The DOJ alleged in a late-Monday motion that would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh ATTEMPTED TO BUY A ROCKET LAUNCHER FROM A UKRAINIAN ASSOCIATE weeks before his Sept. 15 attempt.

"I need equipment so that Trump cannot get elected," Routh allegedly told his Ukrainian associate.

The DOJ also claimed that Routh was in touch with a Mexican human trafficker about smuggling Afghans into the U.S.-- and later about escaping the country after he killed Trump--and that he used stolen license plates and fake names such as “John White” and “Brian Wilson.”

Zelensky didn't come forward and say that Burisma was bribing Bidens before the sham impeachment.. Trump of course will never forgive him for that, but right now Trump will tolerate him because he wants to end the war. I saw somewhere that other Burisma directors were CIA,ie the Americans on the board .
Zelensky is laundering money back to dark money groups , he speaks with a lot of entitlement as if he knows something.

How many times have you been wrong this week alone?
Sharrup and own your wrongness.

He said sensible conversations about the US with people who have never stepped foot in the US.
You should consider why the only people you find sensible are people who've never been to the US or have to lie about living in the US.

Sensible conversations. Lol.

Why don't you just sit at the corner and suck your thumb ?

Anyway I don't know much about his new gigs, I'll do a double check and revert

When manufacturers started running to China, the govt of the day ignored it. Subsequent govt also ignored it.
Example of brand that is owned by America but has only office in America is iPhone. IPhone is made in China. Yet America take the glory. America made Chinese economy flourish while they are busy with wokeism.

20 yrs from now if nothing is done, baby to the number 1 world power. It won't e en reach 20 yrs with the speed China is operating and India is closely following.

Totally agree

bemeruca:
Talks have not cured the issue. By the time you know Yemen will start saying they have made nuclear weapons if Iran is successful. We know their ambitious motive. Even Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations around that region know what's at stake. That's why they are seeking protection from the US and Israel.

If Iran makes the bomb why won't the Saudis want one?

People who wake up with the chant of destroying the US, Israel, and conquering nations around should not be allowed to own a bomb like that.

America's hands-off approach will only allow chaos. We saw it when Biden was around. Iran triggered Hezbollah and Hamas.

Israel really handled all the threats around. What about their proxies? They asked them to stop attacking the US after 3 soldiers were killed. Since then the proxies have stopped attacking US bases.

They are always looking for what they can get away with. They have boxed themselves now. By showing what they could do and how they could spread ballistic missiles to terrorist actors, they cannot be trusted with a bomb like that. That program must shut down

They should send a dud tomahawk through Khameneis bedroom window. That's the language bullies understand.
Why would he not? FBI last year reported Iran had smuggled an anti-aircraft missile to shoot down Trump plane.

A tomahawk would bring him to the table. Reagan bombed Gadaffi' s tent , his stance changed forever and he started cozying up to the west.

Omofaye99:
While the point you made seems valid. I believe Trump's aggressive approach is misguided and ultimately harms consumers. Americans way of life is different from other countries, the hurt is way worst compare to say Nigeria if we compare socioeconomic context of both. Instead, why not consider a quota tariff on imported goods? This would protect domestic production without leading to a broad price increase that resembles a trade war. It’s a more balanced way to support local industries while keeping options affordable for consumers.

My Opinion.

The American economy did not take off when MBAs took over and sent manufacturing abroad. They get very good returns for their business acumen.
Only problem. You are sending jobs to IP thieves,who have a different agenda than yours.Yours may be to uplift their economy ,theirs is dethrone you as the world's superpower by hook or crook.

You think if he grabbed her crotch early on she would've run off to judge Boasberg ?
Be reasonable.

Omofaye99:
You made a good point. I also agree that zero tariffs on every product is unrealistic. While tariffs can play a role in addressing trade imbalances, relying on them as the sole solution is misguided. Like you stated many companies have moved manufacturing to countries like Vietnam and Canada, instead of bringing jobs back to the US. Why is that?

I think the focus should be on finding solutions that address the underlying issues prompting companies to manufacture abroad, Instead of resorting to blanket tariffs, which can harm American consumers and businesses.

One of the biggest factors is unions and democrat policies especially on minimum wages. Don't know whether it passed ,gig workers were also on democrat radar in terns of wages and benefits .⁰

No I don't use raid. Not cost effective for me. I would have to have twice as many drives so I could do raid 1.

Right now I have 8 external data storage drives 8tb x 5,4tb x 3.so I would need double this and a really really large drive bay.

I did consider raid 0 once because it is supposed to double your file access speed, but that is what they call living dangerously.

Not sure how you recover from a disaster in such a situation

Actually it is very easy to block people from stealing data

Hard disk encryption and secure boot and block services like drop box

I have a microsoft account. I have set up the family in the same way Everyone in my family has their encryption keys automatically backed up to my account. So if I move a disk from one pc to another, all I need to do is log into my account to get the key.

I am currently doing same for our office. Setup a Microsoft company account so if I encrypt the drives I have access to the key.

On an enterprise level IT simply needs a policy or system for automatic backing up of the encryption keys

usb port blocking is either from os or from bios.
If it is from os, boot the pc using a live disk and you have the files. That is the goal of secure boot. Blocking this loophole with secure boot running you can't boot another os. Of course this means supervisor password that is backed up somewhere. Our it then had no real secure data policy beyond blocking usb at os level

Modern devices can block usb from bios. It is for IT to enforce.

A backup us only good if it works Believe you me I have so many different backups, on a weekend I restore them to VMs to make sure they will work . That's also the sane with encryption. You never know.
I'm saying this from experience.

As for RAID, I always ensure the OS disks are mirrored and both bootable . Frequent testing. That's for servers . I have Linux samba servers that I store backups too in the office. Storage is cheap nowadays.

benalvino3:
Does he know what raid is? He plugs a USB to one of his wireless network they shout he has NAS 😂🤣😂🤣😂

That's one or two hard drive partitioned. For him computer is for play.
Plays games from 2004 😂😂 and he wants me to assume his system is powerful.

Now I know why gloriousgbola was acting like he knows anything about nnpc and why he said they don't employ IT guys 😂

As for preventing users from copying data ,that's a hard one. One can use encryption but if the AD database gets corrupt, you sweat bullets.
Always tell staff , everything can be monitored and that's enough for nearly every employee. Locking down USB ports is so 2000. One can still open a document, copy and paste it elsewhere. It's a very tall order to prevent determined employee from siphoning data

The detainees get due process.
You sound like you don't understand what that means.
More of a win for the Venezuelans than Trump no matter what your degenerate self thinks.

A wanna be immigrant against due process for immigrants.
A nutty world with nutty people.

Two rulings.
Judge had ordered the gang member be brought back by midnight yesterday. Trump appeal was thrown out but SCOTUS CJ stayed the order . A judge demanded with a timeline for the govt to negotiate with a foreign govt . To return a potential criminal back to US soil..

This guy had lost all appeals and finally claimed assylum. Judge only ordered he should not be sent to El Salvador because his life would be in danger

In the second ruling , SCOTUS by 5-4 ruling lifted the Restraining order of using the Invasion Act to deport The court also held that the president can use the Act , but the deportees would have a due process . But they are held in Texas, only a judge in Texas can listen to their pleadings. Not Boasberg in DC , court ruled basically he has no jurisdiction. I'll write more about him and his next step, which should be impeachement, disbarring. Plainly speaking a judge can sit on the runway and ask any Deportees under the act to show their visa as long as the govt can show he was a gang member so prescribed.

It's absurd that anyone can cross the border illegally but To deport him an immigration judge has to Okay it. Joe Biden let in over 5 million ( possibly 12) illegals cross. There are 700 immigration judges to oversee removal of millions . That's a joke. Was a deliberate effort by Biden handlers to ship in illegals. Kamala would have given them citizenship or whatever legal status she could confer including voting rights.
Conclusion. Democrats were importing voters.
America escaped a bullet.
