The show also followed several decades of demonization of the changes that happened in the 60s. I sometimes think of Mad Men as making the point that the 60s happened for (good) reasons.

In CA at least, there is a large gap: Despite those changes and others, the proportion of freshmen from underrepresented racial groups, including Blacks, Latinos and women, attending the UC campuses, averaged 20% before Prop 209, then dropped to 15% in 1998, then slowly increased over the next 20 years, reaching a peak of 37% in 2016, according to the system. However, the percentage of underrepresented students graduating from high school had doubled to over 56% by 2016. Source: https://edsource.org/2020/students-at-californias-top-tier-u...

Glad to see the proposed minimum charging capability of 150kW or higher. Too many "fast DC" chargers are only 50kW, well below the maximum that most current EVs can take. And there are some innovative charging platforms out there that incorporate batteries to get the charge rate up even when the local electric infrastructure is weak.
