It really isn't about optimism. I know prices would go up no matter what. But it does allow a bit more passive control without being a twat about leaving carts out.
I wasn't aware of the shopping cart theory. Thanks, now I have a name for my belief. :)
I learned this as a kid working at a grocery store asking the same question. When you leave your cart by your car instead of returning it, it takes labor to collect the carts around the parking lot. That labor costs money to the company. That money gets passed on to you as a customer buying products.
The 30-45 seconds it takes to return your cart may seem inconvenient. Rinse, wash, repeat a thousand times in your life. Multiply that by millions of people nationwide across all grocery stores. That adds up.
Stop being lazy. It's not hard to return the cart. If we all did it, it would passively reduce labor costs. That could potentially reduce price hikes on food.
Sorry, but it looks like burned pancakes with mustard and swimming in a pool of whisky. You need to cook them at a lower temp. I'm going to make some for breakfast right now just to get this image out of my head. I'll even make eggs to go with it like you did.
Edit: here are mine. I dislike peanut butter on pancakes, but I'm doing it.
Remember when Howard Dean later colluded with Clinton, Wasserman-Schultz, Donna Brazil, and the DNC to say how awful Bernie was?
I distinctly remember an interview on NPR where he basically said Bernie was garbage. It made me sick to think that I went knocking on doors for the Dean Campaign.
Fuck 2016. It was the year I changed my alignment to the DSA.
The main cause for aging comes from the shortening of telemeres during cellular division and the reduction of organelle walls of certain nuclear components in cells.
I do not think it's beyond our scientific ability to address these things, but it will be more expensive than the average person can hack if it ever becomes reality.
Yet, here we are. Tangerine Gorilla is the next president in line and a hoard of supplicant chimpanzees with the complacent centrist democrats incapable of critical reflection propping it up.
Big if true.
