Barnie2years replies on Apr 24, 2021:
@AnneWimsey, @LovinLarge Not anywhere I shop. It is generally a neglected item until they run out of carts in the store. The supermarket closest to me has a slanted driveway towards the major highway. Abandoned carts, even more so on windy days, have a tendency to head toward the road. I’m sure you would be very understanding if you were driving by the entrance and a cart slammed into your car at 10mph (it’s a steep hill) because someone couldn’t walk three steps that secure it in a corral. On a really windy day at another center I watched one cart slam into three different cars before finally hitting a curb. I was too far away to chase it. But it’s OK, I’m sure they had a perfectly fine reason for leaving it in the middle of the parking lot (more than likely because they parked far away from other cars to avoid their car getting a door ding). All I’m saying is if there is a will, there is a way. And loose carts present dangers.

If you are severely disabled, chances are you have someone with you who could return it. If not, I’m sure you could ask someone to stash it in the cart corral. Or ask the cashier if an employee could come with you to help you load your groceries and return the cart. How did you get the cart in the first place? That could be a clue.

@abyers1970 many Christian groups have sort of dismissed the entire Hell thing except as used in keeping the kids in line. Certainly not the Evangelicals and wacko groups who thrive on fear based religion. My father, who I feel sure was quite Agnostic, as he approached death, was turning to religion just in case. Not out of fear of hell, but out of hope of some kind of eternal life. That I believe is the driving force for most religion. As a friend of mine once said when beliefs were being discussed “I just can’t believe this is it (life). There has to be something more!” It’s the narcissistic view of human existence. We are so special that there is no way we follow the same laws of nature that everything else on the planet is ruled by.

@DenoPenno I tend to agree with you. Much of it is social/family/tribal ritual. My son, who found religion with his wife’s faith, used to try and convince me church was a good place to pick up women. An ex girlfriend told me I should lie to a crazy Christian woman I had the hots for just to get laid. Sorry, I have to much personal integrity to do either of those things. My disbelief is open and unshakable.

@JackPedigo so basically you’re saying that there should be a voter intelligence test. Before you can vote for a candidate, you need to answer a few questions on what their position is on certain issues? Or a voter school, where you go to study up on the background and postions of all the candidates? Or perhaps an originalist who wants to return to the original Constitutional language that only land owners are permitted to vote? In the day and age informed voting relies on truckloads of totally biased information on candidates who are parsed by their Party to be the most loyal to that Party’s platform. While independents numbers are growing, and more are joining third Party groups, the numbers will never be enough to kill the two Party system. So it always comes down to which can drive the largest number to actually vote for their side, and a popularity contest, having little to do with facts. Truth is relative in politics, it has more to do with personality for most than reality of their promises.

Shaman’s, witch doctors, priests, or whatever they happen to call themselves, find that they can exert control over those around them just by the sound of their voice. Or sometimes just their presence makes people want to support them and worship them. That’s why they all loved Trump, they recognized a kindred spirit. And most people, (unlike most on this site) are to one extent or another no better than sheep, who follow and obey the shepherd that appeals to their most pressing need, like the drug du jour. I am just thankful everyday that I don’t have that need for tribe and domination in my gene pool.

@barjoe Orthodox and Hasidic Jews are, like Evangelical Fundamentalist Christians, outside the norms of their religion. Most TV drama draws off of actual stories (not all but many).

I was hunting and getting their hunting magazine, so stayed a little longer until they pretty much dropped the pretense of being anything but firearms industry shills.

I’m with you 100%. NRA keep blabbing about proposed laws being too restrictive , but I rearely see them present any law to show they care about anything but selling weapons to as many people as possible.

The Democrats didn't sell this right. It's not a $15 minimum wage. It's a $10 minimum wage that goes up $1/hr each year, going to $15/hr over a five year period. An actual instant $15/hr min wage in 50 states would hurt small business and cost jobs. That's not what it is, and it should be explained ...
Barnie2years replies on Feb 13, 2021:
The Democrats have trouble selling anything, no matter how good it is. They don't have the PR savvy the Republicans do. Like the ACA, tax increases on the wealthiest, plowing more money into infrastructure than the military, the Republicans get ahead of them with wild ass stories of doom and gloom, call them communist plots, find some conservative "think tanks" to back them up, get everyone on Fox News to spew the lies and nothing happens to the bills. The Democrats don't have the money behind them to counter these waves of bullshit, they try and talk logic while the Republicans just scream and shout trash talk. It's a shame, but it's become the world we live in. You can only use logic on a narrow percentage of the population (people on this website for example). The rest are caught up in whatever fantasy their religious and political leaders choose to blanket them with.

Democrats Consider Withholding Coronavirus Stimulus Checks From Wealthier Households | HuffPost

Barnie2years replies on Feb 4, 2021:
@Willow_Wisp I understand what you are saying, but a one time stimulus check is not going to cure regional income disparity. But it will go a long way to help the wait service, hotel service ant millions of others in all areas of the country who’s hours have been slashed, who lost even the smallest of benefits they had. Or couples who have lost one income due to medical issues. Sadly, regional income and housing issues are a whole other financial problem that needs to be addressed on its own. If you’re having troubles making ends meet at over $75k imagine what the thousands making 50k or less with a couple of kids are going through. Affordable housing is a national outrage, especially in urban areas or tech heavy locations. I had a friend used to drive two hours to his teaching job, even though it paid far more than local ones, because the housing costs were so much cheaper here. Of course to the underpaid teachers here, it didn’t seem like such a bargain. But back on subject, a one time $1,400 check is not going to solve all out financial inequality problems. For many people, that will barely cover a month’s rent.

The mob that attacked the Capitol Wednesday, regardless of previous service or civil occupations are not Patriots, they are seditionists trying to overthrow the legally elected government.
