I understand that current super markets are capitalistly designed to pray on human impulses. Example: milk and eggs are kept toward the back to force the shopper pasted all other foods; And Candies are kept in front next to cashier to make quick small purchase after the shopper is mentally tired from making other choices.

So, always wanted to ask, what would be the anti-capitalist supermarket. With covid-19 what is the supermarket that would transmit the least amount of viruses.

Only answer I have so far is: Milk and eggs in front.

Brasil is most likely going to be 3rd place next week, beating out the UK and Spain

India is picking up over 5,000 official covid cases daily now and it's starting to spread badly in Mexico as well

Switching entirely to curbside pickup/delivery. Having to order in advance pretty much kills impulse shopping in addition to limiting exposure.

poo poo, yes. Totally forgot. Still thinking in terms of people going to a grocery store.
Now, I guess, how does one organize a warehouse, to be efficient and bring down contact.

I would think Anit- Amazon. Where it's one worker who fills out a single order by themselves. That person is forced to walk all around the huge place.
I would think you assign one worker to one row.

Surveillance of church, gym, nightclub, and indoor manufacturing activity is probably sufficient to guess where new spread happens.

A long time ago a something awful poster talked about the fall of Rome, and how it effected a [place I can't remember], and mentioned how Los Angeles was further away from New York, and nobody really asked Los Angeles how much they were effected about 9/11.


I live in Los Angeles county, so I feel like I get this hyper exaggerated sense of the greater united states.

I think that the amount of space the united states has just allows people to be more accepting of tragedy in this country. Combine that with just the right amount of population to turn people into a mass of faceless nobodies, but without the density that allows people to become familiar with people in their areas.

For examples:
There were shootings two block from where I live. I would have never know those shooting occurred unless I looked them up on a shooting database.

I used to think I was horrible at remembering faces in community college, but when I went to a 4 year college for the first time, I realized that that people were just being constantly shuffling around and I was seeing a lot of new people constantly.

I worked in a mall for five months, maybe there were 3 regulars tops? Most of the business came from people who were outside of the 5 miles radius. I do the same. I hate my local mall. On weekends I would go to other malls, and the automobile allowed me to do that.



In terms of covid death: My father had a light acquaintance who died from it, and my aunt had a friend they haven't seen in a while and son die from the virus. If I were even a light CHUD, that is not enough for me to not be a selfish piece of poo poo.
