Could France show us how progressive initiatives are bad for the US?
France’s recent elections have been good news for their left leaning groups. Their new left-wing coalition is proposing a 90% tax on those making over the equivalent of $433,000, raising minimum wage, lowering the retirement age, and other popular progressive ideas.

The question returns

Slight shortfall in EV chargers
Remember Biden’s trillion dollar spending plan? I know, which one? This is the 2021 edition, to narrow it down.
