NEW: Americans in nearly every income group are paying more under President Trump's second term in 2026. The overall impact of inflationary policies, OBBBA's top-heavy tax cuts, and expiring health care tax credits have left savings only for the wealthiest Americans.

Remember when Senator Bernie Sanders was called a "radical, socialist, communist, leftist" for suggesting that the minimum wage should be increased to $15 per hour. Even Amazon realizes that people can't make it and won't take their job for low wages. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Trump falsely accused people of damaging the Reflecting Pool saying, "I saw it. They cut it. They cut it very violently". Now we know the truth, it was contractor error. Time for Trump to pay out of his personal money restitution to the accused, say $500,000 each. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/c...

The contractor said the pool’s new blue liner peeled and tore because of “human oversight” and a flawed plan that involved layering two incompatible chemicals, documents show.

I would be interested but no specific information I need. For example, will the extended range battery be a LiFePO4 battery or a NMC battery? If it is a NMC battery that will be a deal killer for me. Also, what is the big secret at this point? Why not tell us the specs? What is taking so long?

Hydrogen has been a big failure so far. It takes either electrolysis of water which is very energy intensive, or stripping hydrogen atoms off of natural gas feed stock. Neither method is going to be competitive with renewable solar, wind and battery storage which continue to decline in price.
