That's not ambiguity, that's you willfully misinterpreting a definitive statement.

I don't know what the sign that you parked at said, because you haven't told us. I do know that you're arguing against literally everyone in this thread trying (unsuccessfully) to get anyone to agree with you. Based on that, I'm guessing the problem wasn't with the signage.

How is that ambiguous? You can only park there if you're charging. If the charger is broken, you're not charging, so you can't park there.

It's only ambiguous in the sense that, you could park there, and run an extension cord to the closest building and plug in and now you're technically charging but not using the city's charging infrastructure as I'm sure they intended when they wrote that sign.

What did the sign say?

Many of the public charging spots in my city say "reserved for EV charging only", which unambiguously means that you can only park there if you're charging. If the charger is broken, you can't charge there, so you can't park there.

For some added context, this has been going on for years from all parties. Maybe this year was not the most amicable environment to do this in, and maybe these particular slogans were in bad taste, but I don't think this is as egregious as everyone is saying.

Small group of extremists? One third of Americans voted for this, and another third didn't hate the idea of this enough to vote against it.

This may not be you specifically, but more than two-thirds of Americans directly or indirectly chose this clown as your president.

The fight you want to join? It's already started. The people best positioned to stop this are being fired. The checks and balances are being removed or taken over.

Is that a concession? I don't think he actually wants to be president anymore.

Don't get me wrong, it's the correct "deal" to make - it's the most overt declaration he can make to those who claim he wants to be dictator for life - I just think it's probably a win/win for him.

Spotify gave Joe Rogan a platform, which likely contributed to the current situation in the US.

How many specific bands are you trying to support? It might be better for everyone if you just send them $5 directly and pirate their stuff.

It can be hard to separate art from artist, but just keep in mind that you've already paid for those books. He isn't getting more money from you just rereading them, and nothing changes if you continue to enjoy the books.

Most people don't "back" Trudeau. We tolerate him because the likely alternative is so much worse.

That's the thing though. The people flying the duck Trudeau flags don't understand that we don't have unwavering loyalty to the party. They don't understand nuance. And it's going to destroy Canada during the next election.

aside from ensuring the fundamentals are in place of affordable accessible homes, is there really any realistic way of nullifying that advantage and is it even right to do so?

I don't think that's an aside, I think that's the key to solving a lot of problems with our current society. Give everyone a roof and enough nutritious food, and most people can figure out how to live their lives from there. The problem is that the lack of housing and food options forces people into low paying jobs with no upward mobility, and continues the cycle of poverty.
