Why not assess a fine to the original manufacturer of the litter (their logo is all over it), then use the proceeds to fund ongoing cleanup. Brands that are able to court responsible end users will find an edge in the market so will be comp

It's cheapest for consumers not to pay for trash pickup at all but instead to just dump their refuse in the nearest gully.

If it helps your collection of anecdotes, I gave the mugger my wallet while remarking that I was sorry there was no cash in it but I had $150 on the EBT card and he handed it back and said 'that's all right, have a safe night&#x27

I don't watch a lot of news so I can't really speak to the facts you're citing, but I've also spent some time living southeast of Capitol Hill in the Central District where people actually routinely get shot and where I

I lived on the hill during the protests. I walked through the 'capitol hill autonomous zone' with my children numerous times and never felt unsafe. 15-20 years ago I used to catch a late-night bus at Pike and 3rd which was conside

Your quote buries the lede: During the 1980s and early 1990s, Usenet and the Internet were generally the domain of dedicated computer professionals and hobbyists; new users joined slowly, in small numbers, and observed and learned the soci

We have a sugar tax in Seattle. The primary opponents were fast food places. End result: the $1.50 hot dog and a soda combo at costco comes with diet soda now, so I no longer get it. Aside from that, I'm drinking as much soda as I ever

I appreciate your viewpoint. I spent many decades believing similarly, that money isn't real and money has no inherent value or purpose, only muddying the waters of production . Over the years, however, I've developed a more nu

All the excess you cite is a result of this (albeit flawed) capitalist system we live with. I believe there will come a time where it is no longer necessary, but this will require levels of cooperation, education, and coordination that we

Determining value is the value of money. Without it we might get too busy making paperclips and forget to feed people all the same. It's a crude system, more ad-hoc evolved than intelligently designed, and definitely historically man

The highest quality tshirt I own is from Rocawear. Circa 2004 and still looking better than half my collection of much younger shirts. The 2nd oldest shirt that's still in rotation is a 12 year old Carhartt.

My solution to this problem was to join a makerspace collective. Now if I lack the perfect tool for a job there's a good chance the makerspace has it. If not, I buy the tool and leave it at the makerspace and my garage contains only th

There's no guarantee you'll be wise enough when you're thirty. Better idea: give them a couple grand at eighteen so they learn an early life lesson about windfalls, then give them the rest at thirty.

I don't think police issue subpoenas. They may be able to acquire a warrant to force google to turn over data, but would they actually do it? They would certainly require some sort of preliminary evidence or probable cause. Of course
