Man, egg on my face, I thought it was a law. The way grocery stores are actively turning hostile towards customers we should probably make it a law.
In truth, we should probably nationalize grocery stores, but a more realistic, capitalism driven, “profits before people” approach would be to make it law.
In Canada if a poorer person picked an item up at $3, then some rich dude walked behind him and it became $4, legally they would then have to give him the item free because of a price difference on an item under $10. Over $10 dollars you automatically get the lower of the two prices.
Edit: I’ve been informed it’s not a law, but a voluntary act by retailers (screams internally).
Not to be contrarian, but I think we got into this whole mess because politicians started representing the will of people other than their voters. It should be up to the people to want to help and protect children, migrants and disabled non-voters, the politicians should just distill all their will into action in the political system. The whole point is I don’t want a leader who acts on his own, I want a representative who does what he’s told by the voters, the voters should be the ones who want better for all.
People have a right to live full lives after addiction. What the fuck is wrong with the US and not believing in rehabilitation?
What America says is left wing politics the rest of the world calls centrist.
Center-right.
EXACTLY! This patronizing, leading by “you’ll understand when you grow up” dogshit is not what REPRESENTATION means.
I do not want to be led, I want someone who will act like a hammer to be wielded by myself and my fellow voters so our collective arm can nail down our rights.
I have the ADHD where I start getting ready so that I’m (mostly) ready to leave when I’m supposed to be where I’m going. Half hour trip? Half hour late. Adjust for trip length.

Outside of suburban hell people of vastly different economic situations generally live right near each other.
For instance, next door from me are two dudes who couldn’t afford a fridge for the first couple months they lived here, they work and study, the next neighbor owns the entire building and his own contracting company.
There person in the story could truly be suffering, but it’s sold as “lol Karen got owned”.
They were making cigarettes with their cigarette creditcard machine. Shick-shuck, cigarette pops out.
