Besides their own, they of course can handle any other electric cars that appear on the market.  Amazon first-mover advantage... And as mass transit makes more sense in Europe vs. the US, electric cars also fit the high fuel cost/shorter distance/more densely populated landscape.

Dr. Nash, and his wife, Alicia, 82, were in a taxi on the New Jersey Turnpike when the driver lost control while trying to pass another car and hit a guard rail and another vehicle, said Sgt. Gregory Williams of the New Jersey State Police.

The couple were ejected from the cab and pronounced dead at the scene. The taxi driver and the driver of the other car were treated for non-life threatening injuries. No criminal charges have been filed.

Let's hope we hear more about utilizing the post office for small savers.  This is very doable and should be part of 2016 campaign. This would earn revenue to keep the post office solvent. They do this in other countries. 

The inspector general’s office released a report today concluding that expanding the financial services post offices already provide could lessen or even close the post office’s annual deficit, making reductions in mail service unnecessary, while providing essential services to the estimated 68 million Americans who don’t have a bank account or have to use expensive check-cashing and payday lending outfits.

“For millions of underserved families, the Postal Service is already a part of their financial lives,” the report said, noting that post offices sold $21 billion worth of money orders in 2014. Yet, “in order to get the funds to purchase those money orders, many families likely first went to expensive check cashers to convert their paychecks into currency. What if those consumers could instead cash their paychecks at a post office for a lower fee? What if they also could pay bills, buy low-fee prepaid cards, and maybe even get affordable small-dollar loans, all in one convenient location? This could help consumers save money and time, and it would help the Postal Service fulfill its mission to facilitate commerce and serve citizens.”

Target sees a new trend in shopping where less process foods are being bought.  

"This is a very noticeable sign of the shift away from packaged goods, since other grocers haven't shifted quite so dramatically," said Amy Koo, a senior analyst with market research firm Kantar Retail. "Fundamentally, food suppliers are going to have to grapple with this new landscape."

They don't want to compete with the Dollar Stores in cheap canned and processed foods.  That is OK because I don't shop there.  I have a Dollar Store budget. 

Other stores could follow the trend to stock less packaged foods.  

Using the Philadelphia derailment as a starting point, an Israeli editor tries to explain to his readers the lamentably decrepit state of American public institutions.

Yet the people who prevent investment in safety systems for trains are the same people who prevent investment in preventative health-care systems and other systems that ultimately save lives. They are Republicans.

Meanwhile, the people who block action against delinquent drivers and engineers are the same people who block action against incompetent teachers in failing schools and, often, block action against thugs and murderers in police uniforms. They are Democrats.

The most common killers in the United States are well known — heart disease and cancer. But there are other, less common causes of death that are actually much more typical in certain states compared with the nation as a whole.

If I now live in Michissippi, what exactly am I to die from? Republican negligence?

wow.  This is interesting.  Big Pharma may have something to learn from social medicine. 

CUBA HAS FOR several years had a promising therapeutic vaccine against lung cancer. The 55-year trade embargo led by the US made sure that Cuba was mostly where it stayed. Until—maybe—now.

The Obama administration has, of course, been trying to normalize relations with the island nation. And last month, during New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s visit to Havana, Roswell Park Cancer Institute finalized an agreement with Cuba’s Center for Molecular Immunology to develop a lung cancer vaccine and begin clinical trials in the US. Essentially, US researchers will bring the Cimavax vaccine stateside and get on track for approval by the Food and Drug Administration.

Fascinating.

In the flurry of articles about the widely televised violence after the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody, most television outlets and several pundits focused on the violence. Like WBALTV’s reporting staff and my former coblogger Ramona, most decried any sort of violence, but a few invoked the Boston Tea Party as an example of resorting to violence when other measures were exhausted. One pundit excoriated any outsider that would call for violence, but in the manner of Chris Rock, “understood” why frustrated black residents might go there.

David Simon, the Wire creator who still lives in Charm City, heard the devil call his name and told Bill Keller of The Marshall Project that the violence has been simmering for decades:

I think everyone will like to read this from Donal.  

Chicago city council voted to award a total of $5.5m to help survivors, almost all African American men, who were mistreated in a long episode of police brutality that ran throughout the 70s and 80s under Jon Burge.

The funds will be used to pay up to $100,000 per individual for living survivors with valid claims to have been tortured in police custody during Burge's command.
