A rip off?

Unread post by Gibbo2286 »

This video about EV charging is a bit long but interesting enough for those who care :) , if you don't want to bother with the first bit it gets more informative at around 13 mins.

I watched it all and found it interesting despite not being a customer. However it does amuse me when anyone differentiates between what the customer is paying for and what government pays for with 'public money' That money is provided by both customers and non customers so is more a case of spreading the cost for the benefit of a minority. No longer relevant of course as the network is now wholly funded by the private sector, where do they get their money from you ask? Well it's from their customers in other businesses of course, all part of the merry go round introduced by the monetary system which couldn't have happened had we stuck with the barter system of pre Roman times!! :-D

I'd have to steal some sheep to barter. :) not too difficult around here as they wander the streets.

The truth is Gibbo, had the barter system remained you are unlikely to still be around, as once you reach a stage in life where you could no longer produce your bartering stock you'd probably have faded away with hunger!! :-D
