You can’t stop teens, they determine what is cool and will try everything to be cool. Ask the Soviet Union how trying to keep teens from buying Levi’s Jeans worked out for them.

After Trump’s presidency the USA will have to open up its constitution for a rewrite.

This is how stores have historically looked https://c7.alamy.com/comp/2M98MR3/general-store-early-1900s-corner-store-old-fashioned-grocery-store-2M98MR3.jpg Things behind counters and clerks helping people.

Stores decided to have fewer employees, and used publicly paid police for security. Socialism for the rich. Now we have police that take 30% of almost all city budgets/public budgets.
Stores should hire more clerks. Public police should not bother investigating anything left out of a counter.

Stores should lock everything behind cabinets to prevent shop lifting. Police should never investigate any shoplifting if a store does not lock up merchandise. Stores should have enough staff to hand you things from behind a counter.

Walmart has download police to municipalities, it costs tax payers billions a year. Socialism for the rich. We need fewer police.

The Trump White House if going to be selling fake boner pills isn’t it.

Why does anybody go to Starbucks? They’ve been union busters for years.

You can’t pessimistic enough, we are going through a major extinction time period in the history of earth. Say bye to the majority of species we know, any mammal larger than a rat, most birds, most trees, most fish, anything that needs cold weather.

Throw a giant kitch party!

Buy it and use it. It’s fun kitch, don’t let it collect dust. If it breaks, no worries, lots of it around.

Tastes change. As Millennials get older, have kids, buy large houses, they’ll want to fill them. All it’ll take is a couple of social media influences to bring back such kitch. I can’t believe that redneck beards have been in vogue for so long, but they came back from the slimy grave of the 70s.

I think we need to normalize alternative landscaping. Think tall and thin sumac with lots of mulch on the ground. Once in a year dump lots of mulch and don’t mow anything. If you don’t like gardening, and don’t spend time outside, just plant large bushes and mulch. I see so many people around that just don’t care about their lawn, and do the easiest thing so it looks like everybody else’s.

Neighbor cuts their postage stamp lawn with a loud lawn mower for 30 minutes. When they finish the next neighbor thinks to themself, ‘I should cut my lawn’, and starts a loud mower. When they finish the next neighbor starts. ALL Saturday. One after the other! Can’t you all just do it at the same time! Why can’t you use a push mower on a lawn that is smaller than a car parking spot! Why does it take you 30minutes, of using loud power tools, to cut a lawn the size of a car parking spot!!!
