Think harder...

You meet your wife on Facebook, you both stay on Facebook, then you start looking for a side piece on Facebook - how do you hide it from your wife who's also on Facebook? Block her? She knows about Facebook dating app - it's how she met you, remember?

What, exactly, can Musk do to you? If you tell him to go F himself?

I agree, a long way from revolution, but 250 years ago there were a lot of American colonists that were not very political.

It doesn't require everyone to be for a revolution, just enough.

Sadly, a significant portion of the politically active citizens are being fed garbage and don't realize it. The latest faux ICE assault/kidnapping was for a woman in the country illegally that stabbed a coworker - her husband feigned a seizure and the parents used their child as a prop. Too many news outlets are complaining about "putting the father/husband in handcuffs" in front of his toddler!

I dunno, I see a lot of senior DOJ, Intelligence, and Defense positions in Kash Patel's career

Now, tell me all about Xavier Bacerra's qualifications to head HHS under Biden during a global pandemic... oh right, he graduated Stanford Law School...

Every 'living' wage job has to cover a two bedroom apartment? Really? Is that true in any market, like, for example, Manhattan?

When did having roommates become an inhumane situation?

Workers needed to be able to buy cars, otherwise, who will buy the cars? This was back in the era of the Model T, the car intended for everyone to be able to afford.

You're just being difficult... No one expected Boeing line workers to buy their own 737 jet airliner.

So we (collectively) owe them jobs?

The denial of egress is entirely in the mind of the (non) shopper - you can walk thru the gate and the only thing that happens is an alarm goes off, so what? I can't imagine being "trapped" somewhere because I didn't want to set off an alarm.

This is no different than an emergency exit at a movie theater, except you can disable the alarm and use the exit by scanning your receipt.

You know this is common in the EU, right? Multiple comments here about similar arrangements in Germany, Italy, etc.

I'm curious about the debt level of your mystery country, and how much foreign aid the US sent your country that is part of the $34T in debt we currently have. Perhaps the US should suspend foreign aid until we get our spending/debt under control?

Dude, don't you wash your produce before eating it? You really should.

Also, most store employees never touch produce - for example, cashiers typically handle produce shoppers place inside plastic bags.

Do people really go window shopping in grocery stores? I realize you might go in to get something that's out of stock, or it may be over priced and you choose not to buy whatever it was, so you walk out empty-handed, but is it common to just go walking around the store and buy nothing?

Same in Italy, not really a big deal, you just keep your receipt in your hand as you walk out, easy-peasy.

It's on self-checkout, if you carried items in your hands to register, you've only got a bag or two - if you brought a cart full of food, you've only exit with the cart - just don't stuff your receipt in your pants pocket or stuff it in a random grocery bag...

Grocery stores operate on TINY profit margins, they can't easily absorb rampant shoplifting or hiring a bunch of security guards.

There are multiple ways to leave the store - you ask the guard to open the gate, you walk through a register line, or simply go through the security gate and ignore the alarm.

I don't think anyone minds if you trip the security alarm on your way out of a burning building...

How is this any different than a fire exit say, in a movie theater or office building?

If you walk thru the gate and don't scan a receipt, an alarm sounds as you exit, just like those doors that have a sign that reads "Emergency Exit - Alarm will sound if door opened"

I saw this type of security in Italian grocery stores in and around Milan (I was there on a business trip), they weren't in what I would consider high-crime areas, and I can't speak to how common they are in Europe, but it didn't seem like an issue to any of the shoppers.
