Both my local Lowe's and Target let me search the store for an item, and if it's in the store, they give me the aisle and bin where I can pick it up. Just used it yesterday, in fact. I'm sure it saved me 15 min, because the stuff wasn't where I would have placed it if I were planning the stock. I just do it on my phone. Easy as can be. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

People actually go in Target to shop? I buy from Target a lot, never been in one of their stores to shop. Why would I. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | https://www.zerohedge.com/political/full-service-presidential-candidate-yang-raises-eyebrows-after-dispensing-whipped-cream The 2020 White House candidate raised eyebrows on Tuesday when he shot whipped cream into the mouths of two kneeling men at the opening of his brand new New Hampshire field office. "That's a full service presidential candidate!" Yang exclaims as he dispenses the creamy confection into the first man's mouth. As Yang began to shoot more whipped cream into another kneeling man's mouth, an aide can be heard saying "Stop. That's enough, that's enough," as he corrals the presidential candidate away. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Yang is such a putz. He has aides? Who knew. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 27 Posts: 4256 | I think somebody has brought this up earlier in the thread, but the experiment continues successfully: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.courthousenews.com/citys-experiment-with-basic-universal-income-showing-promise/amp/ In Stockton CA, a select group of residents receive 500USD /month no strings attached. Of course the program is funded through private donations, so it is not funded by tax money, so it's not a government UBI. But, it shows on a local scale how it can improve the mental health and financial security of individuals (without any negative consequences that people speculate such as laziness or working less hours...) |

So you are saying a free $500 can help people? Maybe you can get the Nobel Econ medal. The problem is that UBI relies on magic beans that do not exist. To give everyone $500 a month you need to steal $600 a month from everyone to account for admin costs. Give up the idea, it is fantasyland. The President is a fink. |

$500 doesn't buy dick squat. Make it $5000 and you might make a difference. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Yep, and not only that, I can see libbies trying to raise it every election year. They'll be like "$500 isn't enough! Let's make it $1000!!" Then the next election after that they'll be like "$1000 isn't enough!! Let's make it $1500!!" And it will never stop. It will become the new minimum wage. 🙄 |
