This week I wrote about the "worst EV policy in the world," which seems to have breathed its last in .

"The High Court has struck down a Victoria law that imposed a road-user charge on EVs. The tax was A$2.6 cents to $2.8 cents per kilometer per year and intended to make up for the gas taxes not paid by EV drivers. Drivers were required to submit annual photos of their odometers to the tax authority.”

I can understand why they tried that tax, especially since the heavy batteries in EVs make them weigh more than comparably-sized ICE vehicles, leading to greater road wear (and more microplastics from tire wear). But making people send photos of their odometers every year is crazy cumbersome! They could certainly add a road tax on public chargers, but home chargers might be tricky, though not impossible.

Great poster for Black Frankenstein! An early use of gaffer's tape to prevent nip slip?

Too many to choose from, can't pick just one. It's like asking me which of my children I love the most. To save you from having to scan/photograph that yellowed, tattered Far Side cartoon from your lab door, lunchroom fridge, or cubicle, check out 's website! He even has some newish (Nov 29, 2022) color cartoons! There are also sketchbooks and MERCH!!

Today in Labor History August 10, 1923: Italian-American anarchist and IWW organizer Carlo Tresca was arrested in the United States on the charge of publishing anti-fascist literature. Tresca opposed fascism, Stalinism and mafia-infiltration of unions. He was assassinated in 1943. Some believe the Soviets killed him in retaliation for his criticism of Stalin. The most recent research suggests it was the Bonanno crime family, in response to his criticism of the mafia and Mussolini. Tresca wrote two books. His autobiography was published posthumously in 2003. He also wrote a book in Italian, “L'attentato a Mussolini ovvero il segreto di Pulcinella.”
