      The cart corral things were invented in my lifetime, before that we were expected to walk that shit all the way back into the store.

      And don’t forget all the jobs you make at the auto body shops fixing damage from carts! And all the jobs at the shopping cart factories from having to replace broken carts!

        This is why I always throw my cat into a ravine or pond when I’m done with it.

        Reuse would be economically inefficient.

        Edit: cart not cat, I do not throw my cat into ravines or ponds

          haha! that’s Gary Oldman’s character in The Fifth Element. One of the best movies and one of his best characters IMO. There is a scene where he’s dragged the priest into his office and after being accused by the priest of wanting to destroy life, as a rebuttal he breaks a glass on the floor which sets a flurry of automatic cleaning robots into action and says the destruction he caused creates work for robots which means work for the robot makers and enables them to have children. Something like that. I should have just linked the scene instead of trying to summarize from memory but of course who has time for a video link for everything? destruction creates life
