In my culture we eat dinner more like 9pm.

Also “doing things” is usually not shopping. The abundant supermarkets next to the train stations let you do all needed errands on the way home from work.

They’ll still be jobs hiring. Like corner stores in my example.

But I’m willing to bet big money more people are forced to work night shifts they’d rather not work, than wish they were working night shifts.

Not to mention the societal costs and burden it brings on as it heavily impacts various health risks.

It’s a part of ownership of the means of production. Rich people buy a stake of the means of production there.

Buying there can take the form of gambling or more careful storage of money depending how it’s done. It’s a superficial structure that naturally evolves from capitalism.

how much does that kind of storage even cost. Like tens or hundrads of thousands no?

Seems like the title needs an edit here.

Good rule. Thanks for working for it.

Mostly aggregators make it more of a pain for humans trying to read and find out the source.

Maybe in the US. Where I live basically all retail ends between 5-7pm.

Nah forcing workers to survive mimum wage is hard enough. Don’t force them to work at the middle of the night.

Have a “petrol station/corner shop” open for emergencies.

Yep. Watch out it may turn soft on Russia abd its cronies.

Image Description:

a battle scene set in a British village street, featuring a dismounted Territorial Army cyclist, in uniform and chin-strapped forage cap, loading his rifle. Behind him stand two more members of the battalion, one firing his rifle, the other placed his bicycle against a wall. In the background, the remainder of the battalion come to join them.

(hopefully one of these two links should work).

"Columbia demands her children!" Anti-Lincoln, anti-civil war propaganda (US, 1864)

Sourced from the US National Library of Congress

An impassioned attack on Abraham Lincoln and the human toll of the Union war effort. Columbia, wearing a liberty cap and a skirt made of an American flag, demands, "Mr. Lincoln, give me back my 500,000 sons!!!" At the right, Lincoln, unfazed, sits at a writing desk, his leg thrown over the chair back. A proclamation calling for "500 Thous. More Troops," signed by him, lies at his feet. He replies, "Well the fact is--by the way that reminds me of a Story!!!" The artist refers to the false report published by the "New York World" that Lincoln joked on the battlefield of Antietam. (See "The Commander-in-Chief Conciliating the Soldier's Votes," no. 1864-30.)

Author: Baker, Joseph E., approximately 1837-1914.

Created / Published: [Boston : s.n.], 1864.

The Householder’s Handbook explained how to prepare a home for nuclear attack: Whitewash the house, tape windows and create a safe core in one of the rooms. It listed medicines, food, and supplies needed and explained what to do if there was a nuclear attack. Householders would be able to occupy themselves and their families in preparing for the worst.

Even before the 80’s version, Protect and Survive and the CND peace movement’s riposte – Protest and Survive, the handbook seemed remarkably naïve. A 20-megaton bomb detonated 500 feet above St Paul’s Cathedral in central London would have created a blast wave destroying or damaging buildings for up to 17 kilometres and deliver a lethal dose of radiation for nearly five kilometres.
