It's just 2 bucks but it's a pure rip off. Completely their fault and then they charge you on top of it. Total rip off. Don't ever use Electrify America.

So I go to the meter and it says they stopped my session. And it says they charge me for just being parked there. I wasn't parked. I was trying to use their damn machine. I put in a new credit card number and finished charging. They charge me a $2 idle fee.

I had a credit card stolen. So i'm in the process of getting new ones which causes Electrify America to cancel my charging session. So I'm sitting in my car, not knowing the electricity stopped. They didn't notify me on the app. Eventually, I sensed things were taking too long,

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! Today: living with mistakes. I'm wondering how the Germans made sense of their support of Hitler?  How did they deal with the reality once they understood it? Did they deny it? Take responsibility?

Is our love of monsters, an expression of fear, or inner psychological turmoil. Are we more afraid of the outer world or the inner world?  Let's talk about that or whatever you want to talk about on #PhilosophyPhriday!  Ready? Steady... Go!

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! Where we talk about the stuff that matters-ish. This week:  Halloween. Why is it such a big holiday? I mean, I understand wanting to pretend to be fun characters. That's childlike joy. But why do we like to be frightened?

Hey kids! Welcome to #PhilosophyPhriday! This week:  Is the world out of control or had it always been (as my friend always says) a crazy spinning space assylum? Let's talk about that or whatever you want to talk about on #PhilosophyPhriday!  Ready? Steady... Go!

Get out there today. Anywhere you can. Add your body to the millions who truly care about a country rule by laws, not the whims of a con man. It's our best weapon, and it makes you feel good to be with people who care about democracy like you do.

The most enlightened monks don't fight. They meet aggression with passivity and let the confrontation cool down. Is that smart or is there a value in letting loose? Let's talk about that or whatever you want to talk about on #PhilosophyPhriday!  Ready? Steady... Go!

But most of the fighting we do in our lives have nothing to do with real physical protection. We fight cause we're pissed, or hurt, or scared. I guess some people do it because, they're board. But is it ever worth it in those circumstances? Does anyone ever really win?

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! Where we talk about the stuff that matters-ish. This week: fighting.  Let's agree that it's okay to fight in self defense, or when you need to protect someone or something.

This Monday, Michael McKean is coming to record my podcast, "Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen"! What should I ask him?

It's human but it is messy. How do we pull ourselves back from the brink and just do the right thing?  Or is losing self-control part of the human experience we should embrace? Let's talk about that or whatever you want to talk about on #PhilosophyPhriday!  Ready? Steady... Go!

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! Where we talk about the stuff that matters-ish. This week... self-control. Why does it leave us when we need it most? We know we shouldn't eat that, or say that, or do that...but we do it anyway.  We let our impulses drive us.

... exposing yourself to new & better things better? Let's talk about that, or anything else you want to talk about on today's #PhilosophyPhriday. I'll be fishing on a river most of the day.

Hey kids! Welcome to Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday from the mountains of Idaho! This is episode 299!  Next week is our 300th PP.  So my proposed topic is what's the value of consistency vs variety?  Is the discipline of doing something all the time  better for your soul or is..
