Didn't you read the article? The only pro is if you're an oil company!
I agree with you though, things have been so much nicer this way. And since no more than 50% can be aelf-serve there are still full service pumps for those who need/want them.

I guess my concern was charging time. Granted, I haven't really done any research, but I had it in my head that it would take a long time to charge (slow charging?). Overnight would be fine, but I was picturing driving for a few hours, and then charging for a few hours, over and over again.
Maryland is in the South!
Narrator: "They weren't."
Are you able to take it for road trips, or do you primarily use it locally?
Another alternative is Revolt. It's open source and very similar to Discord, but it's not federated, and thus not part of the fediverse.
We didn't legalize them, just decriminalized them. Problem is, we didn't follow the Portugal method and require them to get treatment… just not caught up in the system. So of course this was going to happen.
We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!
Second Oregonian here, and also yup. We decriminalized but then decided not to require treatment (Portugal method), and then didn't fund treatment anyway.
You're going to need to cite your sources that repercussions do anything meaningful for addicts to get clean, as opposed to decriminalized but mandatory treatment (a la Portugal).
I honestly think that has to do with the fact that everyone on the fediverse has the ability to immediately block bad actors and never see them again. If there's enough brigading happening, that server can be defederated. Those same toxic people exist here, they're just shunted to their own inaccessible islands.
Thanks, that was a really interesting read, and illuminating as well!
