The word “price” isn’t mentioned once in the article at all, so they obviously completely ignored that as a possibility, but I agree with you. I shop for affordable groceries first and foremost. If that means going to a local “specialty” grocer who is cheaper than the big oligopoly chains, then so be it.

These aren’t bins of glowing green ooze like in the cartoons. Most waste products are solid and are stored in heavy duty, shielded bins. Kyle Hill on YouTube created a really good video that demonstrated walking through a storage facility and literally hugging one of the bins. His rad meter was perfectly normal the whole time. He also examines other risks as well as the risks of other methods of power generation.

Here’s the one where he hugs the waste casks:

Buncha Scrooges over there in Kingsville Apparently. Those massive restrictions on hours plus the requirement for a “permit” -cough-moneygrab-cough- are just ridiculous. I’d love for there to be a light show like that in my neighborhood.

My current rent: $1600 (no utilities included).
Tenant insurance: $300 (per year!).
Tenant total: $1625 per month.

Mortgage calculation: $1863 per month for a $300,000 mortgage with a 10% down payment.
Property tax: ~$300 per month.
House insurance: ~$150 per month.
Mortgage total: $2313 per month.

And that is not even including the costs of repairs on the house. In my city a $300,000 house will be in need of some major repairs.

I’d say I’m doing pretty good. I am saving that extra $700 per month myself and am in a lot better of a position than if I was paying that mortgage.

What about those parents whose precious children can do no wrong and when part of “the village” tries to discipline them for acting out, or tries to rescue them because they ran willy-nilly into traffic, the parent freaks out and threatens to sue the “helper” for daring to touch/talk to/look at their child the wrong way.

If you want “the village” to help, don’t freak out on them and then whine that you’ve got no help.
