fwiw LePen was always a very outside chance. Like less likely than Trump’s first term. I think Macron never dipped below 85% in the economist model, - mafic Apr 24, 12:46 4
- wasn't there a liberal guy who got almost as many votes as Macron? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 24, 13:23 2

  - Yup -- nm - spamlet Apr 24, 12:39
  - ST is the reason we can not have nice things. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 12:37 3
    - we can't have nice things because the damn truckers are driving around waving flags instead of delivering goods ordered by retailers and contractors -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 24, 13:21 2
      - That's based on the disproven idea that these truckers are actually truckers. Most real truckers are vaccinated & out working their butts off. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 13:23 1
        
        ok, but why do these 'drivers' have trucks if they ain't truckin? (ok looking at photos, only a few are of the semi, most are just coal rollers) - zeitgeist Apr 24, 13:57
Nice. Our Krogers now has ev chargers. A 24 hour store is great (last time Amy charged at night it was a closed IKEA, which I did not like). -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 12:14
