I dunno. Maybe because the average consumer doesn't have nuclear waste sitting around their house that they can throw away in their trash?

What in the sam hell are you trying to communicate with this word salad?

But if you want to talk politics and healthcare, there's one party that's made any real effort at improvement in the last 2 decades, and it's the Democrats. The Republicans try to gut the system at every opportunity.

There are plenty of Democrats in Congress that would like to continue to improve healthcare, but the Dems don't have the numbers - particularly in the House - to pass further reform.

The article doesn't state he voted multiple times in the same election;it appears to be saying he voted in multiple elections across several years while he was ineligible to vote.

Interestingly, orthopedic market analysts are simultaneously warning of potential headwinds in the number of orthopedic surgeries due to the anticipated growth in the use of Ozempic and similar drugs. These weight-loss drugs will reduce the stress on joints such as hips, knees, and vertebrae, delaying, and in some cases eliminating, the need for orthopedic surgery.

Of course, there are many factors at play including the aging population, the rate of increase of prescriptions, whether insurers eventually cover the use of such drugs, and the manufacturers' ability to keep up with the demand.

"And now, Costco is testing out a system that requires members to scan their membership cards at the store entrance — instead of just flashing the card to employees."

"The scanners also mean employees don’t need to ask customers for their membership cards at cash registers and self-checkout."

If he had left it at "I'm raising prices", then no one would have an issue with what he said.

The rest of it is just him being a giant asshole

Everyone except dumbasses with no critical thinking skills understands that in order to pay people a living wage, prices have to adjust accordingly

There is plenty of development next to highways in this country.

You might be surprised to learn that many cities have highways going right through them.

Another crazy fact is that buildings can back up to highways, with pedestrian access on the front side to retail, commercial, and residential

If the space where that interchange is was actually valuable, someone would develop around it. Plenty of cities have development right next to highways and interchanges

I don't disagree with your position that the US has poor public transportation, but 1) these meme doesn't effectively (or even logically) make that point and 2) for the most part, US citizens have clearly rejected public transportation
