Time to whip out the Mooches again

C?

Well …

“Infinity” isn’t a rational metric, but the short answer is it’s complicated. I’d argue that just using the free plastic bags and taking them to a single stream recycler (several grocery stores have collection bins) is a better idea than buying a new reusable bag every time you forget yours at home.

Obviously the best thing you can do is have just enough reusable bags for your shopping needs and use them every time, but that doesn’t erase the impact of reusable bags.

I never read it, but I’ve read similar pop-enlightenment literature. I think it requires that you be in this particular narrow phase of spiritual maturity where you’re open to the message, but you haven’t really learned much yet. Once you get into anything meatier, the pop stuff seems trite.

Pop spirituality ripens like an avocado

Plus he’s an incredibly influential media personality. 20 million people give a shit about what he thinks.

Possibly, or possibly he’s just looting everything he can while the music’s still playing

Fingers crossed hoping this was always the plan

The theory I’ve read is that lots of people are into a bit of the taboo/forbidden partner aspect of an attraction they have toward a real person in their life: their neighbor, platonic friend, co-worker, etc. But most of these connections don’t really feel all that taboo when it’s someone else, so the “step-” angle is just a generic stand in that carries the forbidden aspect without going too far.

What’s the opposite of a helper?

That would be included prominently in the “sweeping socialist reform”. Absolutely a high priority, but negligible odds of success under the current composition.

Priority one is achieving a Congress that will pass RCV.

They still do good things sometimes, they generally do fewer and less bad things. Definitely need to be entirely reformed, but practically that’s a future us problem.

Priority one is dismantling the other party. Blue collar Americans love socialism when you don’t call it that. Start a “right wing” party that’s just leftism wrapped up in Jesus and 'Murica. Split the right, let the neo-libs stabilize things for a couple cycles while the 'Murica party siphons the working class from Republicans. Then, after the Republican party is dead, hard shift on the left from Democrat to 'Murica, massive mandate, start passing sweeping socialist reform.
