I've had it so long it's like a dark friend. It's a release.

Lower inflation doesn't mean lower prices - which we need, and/or higher wages - it means prices are going up a little more slowly. Pointing at a $9 jar of mayonnaise with an "I did this" isn't going to win many people over.

The way I see it is that we don't have enough anti-monopoly legislation. If we guaranteed small businesses could get products at the same prices as megacorps and we broke up businesses that took too much market share we could have small business again. Regulation is also too punitive. Lower taxes, lower compliance and permit fees. The government has a spending problem and the people need to tell them to fuck off and cut their spending in half, then add half of what they cut back into public services, not spending on wars or deep state letter orgs dedicated to spying on its own citizens.

How is saying I" don't work here" in response to the employee approaching them to direct them to the self-checkout - how is that harassing them?

I'm in Ohio and I voted against him, but if you are involved in real estate even a little you're definitely going to be selling some property to a foreign investor.

It's not a big obstacle to your theory in your mind. A lot of rural people would go to war before being forced to abandon their properties. It becomes a pretty big problem to reality then. And in some of the more rural areas the backroad dirt or gravel connectors are maintained by the residents. You should spend a couple of days exploring the upper peninsula in Michigan. You need at minimum an AWD vehicle with a foot of ground clearance. There's honestly like one paved road.

I don't live in a place like that, I live in a shitty suburb with no sidewalks or bike lanes, or even a shoulder on the road. You can't go anywhere without a car, it's deadly. But I do vacation in places like I was describing almost exclusively. And most of them would never move to a city. But you'd just force them? My politics are anti-authoritarian. If I understand you correctly, you would empower monsters to do heinous things to your own citizens.

Who? The former artist formerly known as?

The cabinets aren't so bad, paint isn't difficult. But the floors and countertops. Oof.

Yeah I don't get lines in Ohio either. Maybe 2-3 mins if I go at a busy time.

You guys have recycling?

Except we already have built it wrong. Maybe if the government bought all of those houses and re-zomed the land forbidding houses but we're talking more than 10 million homes (probably WAY more) probably $4 trillion+ and that isn't even accounting for building new infrastructure. Not to mention people would refuse to leave their land. Realistically this is probably a $50 trillion undertaking.
