    "When Electric Vehicles Stuck in Icy Winter Storm" doesn't make any sense. Maybe what you meant to say was, "When Electric Vehicles Get Stuck in an Icy Winter Storm."

    Please love yourself.

        It says it would suck if you were in an electric vehicle and got stuck in the Virginia 95 nightmare from the snowstorm on Monday. Hundreds of vehicles were stranded on a 120 mile stretch of 95...

        Yeah, it would suck. It would also suck if you ran out of gas.

          I have a friend of a friend who was stuck for 26 hours. Even gas vehicles had to turn off their engine after a few hours, which is pretty dangerous.

            Think lots of people dropping linking verbs and pronouns

            Sorry, I think a lot of people are dropping their linking verbs and pronouns.

                  Yes, Mr. Biden should make this a mandate.

                  We didn't see this sort of problem with Mr. Trump in the whitehouse.

                            The governor is responsible for a heavy snow?

                                    In all fairness, he didn’t call out Youngkin, really, either. However, the Only-Trumpers used it as an opportunity to attack and he tried to extract himself from the whole thing.

                                    I’m far closer to Goldberg’s POV on most issues than I am to say MJT, and I think it would be more than a waste to alienate him from the party.

                                      Yeah, he did. He implied that the governor was not doing what he should. Before he was sworn in. Goldberg is supposedly a journalist. You check yourself before you wreck yourself.

                                        So, yeah, he did call him out, mistakingly thinking that GY was the governor.

                                        Alternative read: "The governor isn't doing his job."
