I guess it's all about perception. To me, it seems like a lie created by his supporters to make him seem larger than life.

How exact does it need to be? There are plenty of ways to collect and organize the data. There are plenty of low-income schools. If you only gave out free condoms at the ones that were 90% black (but given to all students there), would that count?

A threat of war, sure. But you don't declare war like that clip of "declaring" bankruptcy. Even with all the wars the US has started, the last one declared was in 1942. Until Congress formally declares war, or troops start to move in, it's still just a threat.

That said, it is a threat that everyone should take very seriously.

But the people outside looking in might believe it. It would have to cause consistent outrage all over, likely from being personally affected.

Rated range, meaning 100%-0% in near-ideal conditions, drops significantly in the winter. Battery conditioning and a cold start can drop it by 35% if it's using resistive heat (as opposed to a heat pump), plus reserve capacity on both sides (you don't usually want to go below 20% or above 80%, to maintain battery health).

I recommend people take the listed rating and cut it in half for real world use in bad conditions. For instance, if you need to travel somewhere that's 75 miles away (150 round trip) in the middle of winter without charging, then you need a battery rated for 300 miles. You can obviously get by with less if charging along the way is viable, and these are just estimates. If your route is 80 mph, it will suck down a lot more juice than the same distance at 55.

Be sure to tell people what you love about electric, while pointing out that next time you will be buying from a different brand.

Before going homeless, there will be a massive uptick in reverse mortgages. Remember that most retirees were able to buy houses back when they were super cheap. A reverse mortgage gives them income while effectively selling the equity in their home. As is often the case, they will be screwing over their kids and grandkids. There won't even be a house (owned) to inherit upon their death.

The executor will be forced to sell the house to pay off the reverse mortgage, often at a discount, to exactly the types you describe.

Imagine being the historian researching these for dates...

An absolutely fascinating read, even if some important details have been lost to time. I suppose it serves as a cautionary tale going forward.

Wait, how could they not have the rights to the Daleks? Isn't all of this owned by the BBC? I realize things very recently got complicated with Disney, but this was long before that.

It's not entirely out of the question, but it does require considerable evidence. It's possible that he carried it so that it wouldn't be left somewhere as evidence, until he could get somewhere that he could safely destroy it.

That said, there are some pretty gaping holes with that explanation that would need to be filled first.

That would be worth about 12 cents today.
