This is probably the best way to deal with someone in these situations. No insults, no arguments, just "I thought you were smarter than that". It might actually make them think about it rather than dismiss you out of hand.

I took it to mean "it has increased to the point we can't deal with it all"

There are ways to do this in a walkable city.

If a grocery store is within walking distance why not make a trip of it with the whole family? Many hands make light work. Or, just because a city is human focused instead of car focused doesn't mean no cars at all (at least in the way I would implement it) you could rent a car for a few hours every couple of weeks.

Obviously these ideas won't work for everyone but they're just off the top of my head, and unfortunately there is no system that will work for everyone. We just have to try for works better.

Great to hear, that is actually a lot better than I would have expected. It would still be ideal if you could use it as easily as someone not using a wheelchair but we do have to live in the real world and accommodating everyone is complicated and expensive.

Absolutely it could be like that, mixed use buildings are something we really lack in North America and are the lifeblood of a city

Or, if we're changing cities already we could make more accessible homes and public transit. If someone in a wheelchair can't get onto a train you've made the train wrong.

You're looking at it backwards, he's the head of the party so he must have worked very hard.

These sorts of things always make me wonder how much of this is hubris and how much is stupidity. Do they really not see how bad it is to just replace your search results without telling you and charge advertisers for you not searching their brand or did they know and just didn't think that anyone could catch them?

We constantly hear about executives being completely out of touch with the real world, but we also see them just not understanding the basics of business. It really could be either but it's probably a fair bit of both.

Up to 50% of homeless people in the states work full or part time.

The question has been answered.

Slipknot all day everyday. Fast to tie and untie nothing to lose like a clip or a rubber band. Plus it's just a small bit of fun

If it exists I haven't found it

I don't think I agree with this, I know I became more aware and more empathetic after I was able to improve my financial situation. I believe that a lot more people do care or would care than you think, it's just that their energy and focus is on survival and trying to live in a world where you're told spending=happiness.

Maybe it's naive but I have a fair bit of faith in people doing the right thing when given a chance and a way to.
