Not sure if they still exist, but look for a butcher or maybe a deli. Chain stores have no humanity left.
- Comment on Reading into something that is said 4 days ago:
Printing your own money is equivalent to a flat tax, which is bad for the poors.
But you’re spot on, taxes are meant for wealth redistribution.
- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 1 week ago:
This is why sales tax is silly unless it’s purposefully punitive. Like with cigarettes.
If they want to give back to consumers, then literally give money to consumers.

Yep. I hold adults accountable for their choices.

Less than half voted for this.
As usual, the apathy party won, with 36% of voters not voting.

Oh, absolutely true. Never call yourself a Democrat. Don’t join them, use them.

If you like being ineffective at driving change, then yes this is an option. Otherwise, you’ll have to work through one of the gate keepers.

Showerhead seems like an issue. I guess if you can articulate it to point to the wall and the wall is well sealed it’s probably ok.

Well, now you have an example of what not to do in yours.

Thanks. Fixed.

Oh, 100%. He’s a person living in a house. He doesn’t need to add his extra room to the housing market. If he does, that’s just extra supply and that’s good.
I have a large basement. I don’t think it’s immoral to not rent it out.
- Comment on Related to the recent question: A family member has told me that my inheritance after they're gone is for becoming a live-with landlord. Is that ethical? 1 week ago:
You own a house. You live in it. This is fine.
You have an extra room that you add to the housing market. That’s a net positive. It drives down costs.
The other option is that you live in that house alone and don’t have that room available. That reduces supply and that’s bad.

Here’s the issue. He’s getting this house for free. It’s going to cost him money to sell it.
He’s living in it. He doesn’t need to add his extra room to the housing market. He could just live in that house alone. His choosing to put his room onto the market drives down costs. That’s a net positive.

Legal isn’t moral. Economics don’t make right.
Consuming more than you require intentionally could be seen as unethical. You can see this all over society.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 week ago:
No raindrop thinks itself responsible for the flood.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
Poor communities already do this to support each other. They watch each other’s kids. They run errands for each other. They don’t keep track and charge cash and create an LLC. But community support is real.
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 week ago:
Good point. So it’s more akin to saying “black men’s lives matter” then. Both are oppressed groups, one more than the other, but why dice it up like that?
I think the answer in this case is that the solutions are different. One is about improving disability and healthcare, one is about minimum wage. But they didn’t make it nearly clear enough that they would improve disability. They only focus on the minimum wage message.
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 2 weeks ago:
This is a “black lives matter” messaging situation. Just because working people deserve a living wage doesn’t mean other people don’t.
It’s annoying that this isn’t obvious. But I agree that it’s not.

Third parties don’t and can’t work. The system is rigged for that. Better to start an anti-ceo PAC.

This isn’t too say there are zero instances, obviously. But Democrats are gerrymandering in the same way that my 8 year old is a sculptor.
