Wow that video is insufferable... What does this actually have to do with cars? I don't see how people being too lazy to put a shopping cart back is really relevant to this sub
Edit: community, not sub. Gonna be a while till I fully work out all of the redditisms.
Part of his shtick is that he puts a magnet on their car if they don't do the right thing. When he puts the magnet on the car they freak out and act like they've been personally assaulted. It's peak carbrain!
I agree with the idea behind cart narcs, but man he takes it too far.. arguably being more of a nuisance than the initial issue of not returning the cart.
While I don't necessarily agree with the guys techniques, I think the putting yourself before everyone else attitude that is the cause of this behaviour is actually s big problem that causes all manner of other problems down the line. If people respect their fellow peoples society will function much better.
Both are solvable problems which our society chooses not to solve. I remember the first time outside the U.S. when I saw a shopping cart where you insert a coin to unlock it from the pack. Certainly not as easy to solve homelessness, right now outside some small but promising pilot projects for 'housing first' it appears most people are still stuck in the stage of complaining unhoused folks lower their property values.

Agreed with you. Not only is this guy insufferable and annoying, it has nothing to do with this community. Seems like lazy spam posting
I feel like I'm back on PublicFreakout.

Here's another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Redc1mvyLaw
When I was a kid working retail I loved going out and returning the carts because it gets you outside and it sucks being stuck inside an entire shift

Sounds like that makes it important for us to focus on it, culturally.
Indirectly, yes. He's ridiculous, but by engaging with him everyone in the video (the people not returning the carts) looks ridiculous.
I don't watch enough to see if there's people who do return them, but I imagine they look a lot more normal than the alternative.
I think it's weird you're putting the words "profound solution" in my mouth, but you do you.
Whybisnit his job to solve the fucking housing crisis?
