When “woke” and “broke” collide, it is rarely the woke who stand their ground — especially when the safety of their $60,000 electric vehicles is at stake.
More than 69,000 homeless people are currently living on the streets of Los Angeles, and their presence is making it challenging for people to juice up their vehicles at the city’s local Blink EV charging stations, many of which are nestled among pitched tents and piles of trash.
Conservative political commentator Alexandra Datig has documented the difficulties on Twitter in a series of shocking tweets.
“When you live in Los Angeles, it’s better to have a charging station at home for that $60,000 EV,” she stated on Wednesday. “The closer you get to downtown, the charging stations have homeless ‘attendants’ who live on the same sidewalk as the stations.”
