Issaquah WA which is an affluent area east of Seattle.
I also lived in Los Angeles and some of these people take the carts pass the corral and all the way to their neighborhoods.

Nobody said the savings will trickle down to consumers. But best believe it will INCREASE if enough idiots do stupid things.

I countered your downvote with my lone upvote. Thanks for commenting.

We are not encouraged to carry our trash home because of “fines”. We do it because it’s the right thing to do if you can’t find a trash bin.
I have carried my trash for hours before I found a bin. It’s the norm to do that and we even have methods to carry it more effectively.

This is mostly an American thing. They/we tend to be more entitled and very selfish. Often making excuses for bad behavior with lines like “I’m keeping people employed”. No stupid, you’re increasing our groceries because of your selfishness.
Now I live in Taiwan and have visited many countries and found out that this is not the norm. Most people care about the community their live in and oftentimes put back their carts.
Another example of American entitlement. Americans often throw trash on the ground in parking lots because the trash cans are too far away or they can’t find one. Again the same excuses, “Keeping these people employed”.
In Taiwan(and Japan), if you can’t find a trash can, you take your trash home with you. You actually have a hard time finding a bin in public here. But our streets are typically very clean. Because we care about the community and the people here are less selfish.

Bu Zi Dao? That is hardly programmatic.
Mandarin for "that"is much more problematic. It’s “neiga”. And we typically say it multiple times. So imagine someone pointing at someone and says “neiga neiga”

Hey, I’m in Taiwan and can work some of the night shifts. I’m fairly active and don’t mind helping out.

Lol, I think they ask you if you want to. You be surprised how many people actually take them up for it.

In Taiwan, at a hot pot place called Haideilao, if you eat solo, they put a oversize stuffed mascot across from you so you’re not eating alone.

Honestly, you can’t win. Just feel comfortable in your own skin. Men be catchin’ feelings for ransom shit. Purse strap across your chest? Boner. Hair up? Boner. Hair down, believe it or not, also boner.

Burnt shit.

Fun fact. Venti just means 20 in Italian. So when you order a venti hot latte, it’s 20oz. Which is not true for the cold drinks, which is 24oz.

They are probably watching us destroy our planet and observing and recording. How nature conservancy folks don’t intervine when an animal is doing something self destructive.
- Comment on I welcome our new alien overlords 5 weeks ago:
I mean, space travel is not free energy. These aliens would have to evolve and invent interplanetary flight. Then be able to travel FASTER than the speed of light to get to us. That’s if they are located in our Milky Way. If they are not, they probably need wormholes or some science fiction level imagination to get to us.
- Comment on I welcome our new alien overlords 5 weeks ago:
Water is nothing but 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen. They bond fairly easily at room temp. While yes, it would be faster to just suck up water from our oceans, it’s extremely more energy intensive to travel to our part of the milky way. They could literally hit up a hydrogen intense moon/planet and another oxygen one and just make it themselves with the little energy it needs for it to bond.
I think the main difference between our planet and others like ours that would be more rare is life. Being the only sentient planet that we know of makes us more special.
So potentially they are just abducting us to probe our butts.
- Comment on I welcome our new alien overlords 5 weeks ago:
So basically we are a natural resource.
- Comment on I welcome our new alien overlords 5 weeks ago:
Keep in mind that they have near limitless energy if they are able to travel here.
It’s like asking ants to help my excavator dig a hole.
- Comment on I welcome our new alien overlords 5 weeks ago:
Real talk. Would aliens even want our natural resources? Like they could travel the cosmos. Our planet is made up of elements that are already available to them before they get here.
Like our planet doesn’t have anything special when it comes to resources.
