Thieves Steal Cables From EV Charging Stations as Copper Prices Rise

"Strang told KOMO that the charging cables are almost all rubber and interior insulation and hold only approximately $10 worth of copper within.
The cost to the utility to replace each one is approximately $2,000 for materials and $500 for installation, she added."
So is the crime the $10 theft, or the $2500 to replace the $10 theft?

Of course. Why would we inconvenience ourselves? We're too comfortable.

All you have to do is look at South Africa for how a 'collapse' goes. It just keeps going. There's not this 'magical' collapse point at which things change. They just continue to get worse.
