I think they're talking at a county level. And again, the problem isn't pricing, it's expensive to simply get the square footage for a grocery store in urban cores and everybody knows that. The problem is people having no money to buy it with.

So is this sort of law banned by Costa Hawkins? Obviously it's just a band-aid for a much larger problem, but it feels like at least in the short term it could really help lower-income renters if properly enforced.

I worked at K-Mart as a high-schooler and we had a decent amount of shrink and theft and such, but the store stayed open for literal decades and our numbers were good. It took a private equity dipshit to spike that chain into the ground. I think that's a good lesson for anyone.

compare the costs of theft of product to the costs in the sheer amount of unsold/spoiled food (particularly produce) that gets dumpstered daily by any typical grocery store and I bet the latter dwarfs the former by several orders of magnitude

how feasible would it be to have a municipal pick up / wash / drop off for cotton diapers? commercial customers have those kinds of laundry services pretty affordably and municipal garbage pickup is already a thing. my previous post had me thinking about how disposable diapers are one of the most commonly shoplifted items because of how dumb expensive they are

BTW I did washable diapers for around 6 months but switched to disposable just because it was SO much laundry and we were struggling already with all the stuff that comes with "a six month old" It's also totally feasible to standardize on packaging and stuff as well, but actually being able to recycle stuff is impinging on our *freedoms* In fact now that I think about it literally every person needs laundry done, we should probably look into how we handle that.

Both laundry and food preparation are operations that are much more efficient when done at scale, and are daily/weekly chores that most people don't enjoy. Public laundry and public kitchens would be wildly popular and significantly improve quality of life for loads of people. The fact is, both services currently exist, but aren't called "public", and are only for rich people -- laundry services on the one hand and restaurants on the other. Some of the most creative voices on the left are beginning to re-start the conversation about how to use services like these to improve quality of life without increasing consumption (which is an important element of climate-based policy), and also at the same time to break the hegemony of the patriarchal nuclear family as the sole economic and social unit in our society.

I used a diaper service in the '90s; we gave it up because we still had to bring disposables to daycare, so we weren't using enough cloth diapers at home to keep up with the cheapest # diapers per week. So the question becomes just how lovely do your babies need to be?

Arsenic Lupin posted:Trust me. All the poo poo. All the time. So much poo poo. i had it arced/fountained into my mouth and eyes on separate occasions talking to people who've used cloth diapers, in addition to the daycare problem, you're also going to have soiled diapers in at least some of your sinks and/or toilet bowls (yuck) at any given time even if you use a service. and that's on top of the initial up-front cost of all the diapers plus the detergent and utilities if you even wash them yourself some of the time you can easily be changing an under-three-months newborn every other hour, for 24 hours straight

We too tried the cloth diaper thing for our first kid. There literally isn't enough time in the day to deal with that poo poo (literally) AND a child at the same time. I can imagine it working in our parent's generations, when extended families were still raising kids together and mothers were not also working a full-time job/going to school while trying to balance pumping milk and getting the kid to daycare, but it's not that way anymore.

Really the saddest part is that the LA times came out with a headline of "DiFi will vote to acquit Trump" and most people bought it because its 100% in character for her. Burn the DNC establishment to the ground.
