As a socially anxious person myself, I like the idea of not having to interact with a cashier, but I hate the idea that some rich guy is profiting off of killing jobs and putting the work on me to do, so I only use them if I have one or two items and there’s no line.

Just put like items in the same area!

Who is buying the products from those corporations though? I totally agree that the problem is caused by corporations but afaik there are only two ways to get them to make better choices: governmental regulation or avoid buying products from the bad offenders. Regulation can only go so far when all the companies have factories in another country. Individuals need to avoid buying products from those companies and shift to the ones that are more environmentally conscious, but that means having an informed populace that has extra money to spend, so we’re fucked.

Agreed, that and yellow bird habanero are the two sauces that I need to have a supply of at all times.

I’d much rather receive either of those than something that I don’t need, want or even like that I have to pretend that I really wanted, then either attempt to return it or store for a while in case that person comes over before ultimately throwing it away. Most of the presents I have received on birthdays and holidays fall into that category.

Sounds like a hate crime to me.

Fake skin color, fake cotton candy hair and no soul behind his stupid eyes.

She deserves a huge lawsuit payout over this idiocy.

I’d rather be a cop in rural America. 58k is not much in New York and everyone you deal with wants to kill you.

Because we’re stupidly paying middleman insurance companies before we pay healthcare companies. Oh also because those two industries are in cahoots to maximize profits at the expense of our health. Didn’t read the article but seems like common sense.

He wants to hold it on flag day which is so important that we don’t even get the day off for it. It’s not even the 250th anniversary of flag day; it’s the 248th. This is just for his own stupid vanity and selfishness (not that this needed to be explained to anyone).

This is what every journalist in America needs to be doing right now.
