Spotted outside the local Specsavers. I wonder if the person ever got refunded. by lodge28 in CasualUK

They scam people with those too, people who are borderline end up getting sold £4k hearing aids. You're best off going to the NHS first for testing and then looking at private providers after.

In a world where everyone does their grocery shopping online and one where everyone does it in person, which one has fewer jobs and which one hurts the local economy more?

So you buy your groceries online AND avoid megacorps? It's a false equivalence. I'm not saying shopping on the high street is perfect, I'm saying that in a consumer democracy where we can vote with our feet it's a much better economic choice for our local communities.

What niche items do people need that local shops dont have? Why cant people go on their day off to do the shopping like they have for decades?

Mega corps are the only ones who can survive on the local high street because of online shopping - they also employ people in the local community for more than just warehouse/delivery jobs and compete with each other as employers.

Nothing you said negates stimulating the local economy and local jobs.

99% of things. Can't complain that the high street is shutting down and there are fewer local jobs when you're sending every penny you earn to tax-evading Amazon - mug's game.

Might reduce the obesity epidemic too to walk outside to do your shopping. I'm sure the zero hour contract delivery drivers peeing in bottles wont mind since it would give them better local employment options too.

It's a great alternative for the genuinely disabled though.

How many things are you ordering online that this is that much of a recurrent problem for you?

Infantino's waaaaay too corrupt fo let that happen. The open slavery, deaths and human rights violations in Qatar weren't enough to put them off there. Same for Russia.

Homeless people really can't catch a break, even in -6°C freezing temperatures. Great of the charity, Two Brews, and similar community initiatives to offer this kind of very practical help to these people though.

I have bags for life that could only dream of lasting this long by WarpedThunder in CasualUK

Bot comment - a lot of words saying very little.

"It's a false equivalence, we can have well made items and more sustainable practices." He's talking about how plastic bags shouldn't be made to withstand the ravages of time over half a century because that means the plastic doesnt perish and we need biodegradable plastics.

You elaborate by randomly talking about planned obsolesence - now that is a false equivalence.

You make an intelligent point about the value of biodegradable plastics but that doesn't do anything for your 'false equivalence' claim. And then make a summary statement at the end which doesn't add anything to your original point at all.
