Bank on it. 70 will be the new 67.

It was generally called scrip, and none of us are that old.

Sure, the $37 trillion in debt has nothing to do with it...

Wait. That's backwards.

Poor = having more kids

I can't really imagine keeping 2x more trash cans in my kitchen and dealing with having to work around and walk around them....it's full as it is.

But hey, it's a free country...you do you.

I don't see any compelling reason to change a lifetime of behavior for no perceived value, and add inconvenience to my daily life.

That's addressed in the summary, which obviously you didn't read. People who "can't afford housing" are having FEWER children than those who can.

That makes sense until you realize that people are also having less sexual intercourse:

To each his own...sounds like a major PITA to me.

Where I am...each house has 1 or more general garbage cans...but plastic things, uniform size and shape....and on trash days (2 a week) you wheel the "bin" out to the road side....the truck comes along and a big mechanical arm picks up each can and dumps it in...

There's no garbage men there to even look at what you're throwing out.

On a different day of the week, I do see folks putting out their small recycle bins, the ones that want to participate.

To save money, they've set up this system so that we don't have 2-3 guys hanging on the back of each garbage truck grabbing each can and dumping it...there's pretty much just 1 person driving the truck and the truck grabs, dumps and returns each can....

Again, I don't have anything against recycling....but participation is and should be optional...where I live.

.......good thinking"

LOL....oh, don't forget the Phone Cops!!

Thankfully where I live....no one forces anyone to recycle.

You can if you want...but you are free to decide if you want to bother or not.

We don't have any "trash police" here....we've got better things to spend our tax dollars on.

I'm kind of mystified by the absolute visceral hostility of a large number of Americans towards recycling.

I think it has to do with some cities actually forcing people to recycle....where they actually go through what you throw out and fine you...?

Thankfully I've never lived anywhere like that, but I'd be pissed if that were the case.

I'm glad people that want to do that can....I have nothing against it, but being forced to is another thing entirely.

I don't have room in my kitchen for 3x different cans to sort and throw shit out....nor the patience or time to bother.

But I support those that wish to do so....

I'm glad that down here where I live, you don't have to bother recycling unless you are so inclined.

If you want to throw pretty much anything in the trash here, they'll take it, no questions asked.

For example, a touchscreen is nearly a requirement for decent GPS UI. There are applications where the multitouch gestures are hard to beat for the UI.

I have a phone for that....no need for another one on car touchscreen that will eventually age out....

Fuck all touch screens in cars...

I want physical controls...the ones on the central console of the old days worked great, I could do most everything by feel or if I had to look...1-2 second glance.....

I don't want a fucking ipad to control everything when I'm driving a car, especially at higher speeds...

Starliner and SLS are often associated with one another. They're both crap and over budget.
