Where to begin...
But I'll touch on something no one else has here.
Shopping carts. It's mindblowing to me that the country that sent men to the moon still hasn't figured out that its easier for everyone if they turn on all 4 wheels rather than the 2 front ones.
That way you can slide your cart sideways to make room for other shoppers. And turning it takes no effort.
And even... even if it is some weird cost cutting thing. Why not make them turn on the rear wheels? That would still make it easier than in the front. Since you steer the cart from the rear.
Get your shit together. Put gun controll aside, put your dumb ass two party politics aside and focus on what matters. Your godawful shopping carts.
Wellll I don't entirely agree. Ever been to IKEA and had a cart full of furniture? It takes every bit of strength my strong body can manage to take a turn without sliding out of control sideways and knocking over five display units and three children. The non-turning back wheels make turns more manageable. Carts should work like cars, front wheels turn, back wheels don't. I submit this comment as sacrifice.
I'm Swedish. So yes. I think it's fair to say I've been to IKEA. I stand by what I said.
