The existing range was already good enough for most. I feel like you could read this as they could build a car with the same range with only half the battery pack, which saves on cost and weight.

Most people charge at home anyway, you only really need high voltage chargers along major roads.

Why would they need to do that? All they had to do was call him and ask for him to stop with the raids on businesses (possibly in exchange for a donation), and they got exactly what they wanted.

Geneticists in a thousand years are going to have questions about a sudden boom in certain gene markers around this time if they don't have the added context of billionaires deciding they're the master race by virtue of being billionaires.

So this family member had all the logs and decided not to go to the authorities at all?

There's a tension in the Republican party between the ones that talk about immigration just to be elected (the owner class that bankrolls the Republican party), and the ones that actually want them gone (like Stephen Miller and most of the MAGA base). The former realises that illegal immigration is useful to stop workers from organising and depress wages, the latter doesn't care about that and wants them gone. That's why you are Trump taking both sides of the issue: he wants exceptions for hotels, construction and farms (because he's hired illegals himself for these things), but he also doesn't want to alienate his base because 'they took our jobs' and all that.

That's the main reason ICE has historically been told to only deport 'criminals' and leave the rest alone instead of doing what they're doing now.

Probably a depressingly high amount. I doubt there's a lot of ICE agents that see it as just a job instead of a license to fuck with brown people with impunity.

Most likely they just didn't vote.

It's always a war crime. People will argue there's exceptions (Hamas tunnels, etc), but those conditions are never met in reality.

I know, it's the Daily Mail, but it's not something more established newspapers would write about. Anyway, it makes a lot of sense that his operation was just a kompromat/recruiting thing for various intelligence agencies.

I fully expect that years from now we'll find out he started WWIII over some petty bullshit.

He probably did it so he wouldn't have to pay for the wedding or some shit like that.
