Members of the GOP wished for unregulated capitalism. They got a powerful Big Tech oligopoly that canceled Donald Trump. They wished for appointing conservative judges and controlling the Supreme Court. They got 60-plus losses in court challenges to the election outcome due to lack of evidence. They wished for attracting more voters by riding the rising tide of a personality cult. They got a fanatic constituency that they are enslaved by.

They got what they wished for and what they deserved.

If the state and urban cities in Nevada invest in widespread charging infrastructure, it could help not just me, but many other Nevadans out there to have the confidence to finally go electric.

LETTER: More Pelosi hypocrisy
J.J. Schrader Henderson

Isn’t it amazing how the speaker’s cry for “punishment” varies if your party affiliation has a D or an R associated with it?
