There is no right to keep and bear shopping carts!  They must be regulated.

Join the Task Force!

Someone in the administration needs a position with a 6 figure salary...what better way than to create a new task force with no tangible benefit to taxpayers or the economy for this person / people....#immadoctor

Where have I seen those names before?

Some more crap about politicians not addressing the real key issues ailing society and opting for stupid things like this.

Just so they can say they doing something.  Which isn't much.

When I used to work Foodland eons ago we used to climb in a co-worker's truck and get the carts ourselves.  Then we confronted the perp and made big body and ask if he like beef.  This was when I was young and stupid and thought I was invincible until I got my ass kicked.

But yeah.  Neva need task force back then.

Heck yeah.
Younger days courtesy clerk at Foodland.
Once carts got little low, I had to cruise Kailua Town collecting them.
No truck so little shame the boys seeing me push 8 shopping carts through town back to the store.
This is Old Kailua Town, so I wasn’t dealing with homeless too much. Mostly people who parked them outside their apartment buildings or random places.
But we did retrieve our own.

Maybe now they want to confiscate them, make people wait 40 days and get a psych eval in order to get a shopping cart permit in order to register them.
Would they need to get  another permit to push in public?
Might work. But if they require a psych eval they gonna need to build another Red Roof Hospital. Might get a lot of ‘em off the streets and into government custody on the government dime.
Build an Escape from New York facility? They had housing. Air drop food and medical supplies….

Ummm this sounds like you had your own task force.

Next will be HB-Dumbfuckery - relates to creating a task force on Baby Strollers.
Task Force on shopping carts ? WTF.
They’re all stolen goods.

Are we really paying these people making this shit up 6 figures ?

I don't understand why merchants haven't done what many on the mainland have.

Require a $20 refundable deposit on carts from customers.  If they leave the cart on a median or between cars, the $20 goes into the "new carts" fund.

People being too lazy/entitled to walk 30 feet to put their cart in a collection stall or the front of the store is one of my pet peeves.  These people block parking spots and leave a cart where they can damage vehicles if it starts rolling.

I not only take my cart back, but if arriving, i ask someone finishing loading their car to take theirs back.  I do that when walking mine to the cart return, too.

All it takes is one jerk leaving a cart in a parking spot for others to figure it's okay and leave theirs.

Hard to believe someone filled up a big cart at Costco - pushing it all over the massive warehouse -- and then can't bother to walk the cart a few more yards to the cart return.

I've seen people fighting a cart to get it up over the curb and onto the grass when they could have walked the cart 3 parking spaces over to the return.

Anyway, if every shopper leaves a $20 deposit, the carts can be returned either in an electronic return rack that locks the cart up and returns the deposit, or to the front of the store where they get their refund.

This might even help the homeless.  if I were homeless, I'd stake out the parking lot and watch for abandoned carts. Turning it in for the $20 refund solves several problems at once.

this guy does it for free

At a Hilo apartment complex, there's a bunch of Costco shopping carts lying around.  The only Costco is in Kona a 3 hour drive away.

Always wonder how they got there when I drive by

Relay? 

Costco -> Camp 1 -> Camp 2 -> ...

 Work with hpd saying no one is allowed to take carts ofd their property. So any carts found are stolen.

Or have they already done this cheaper option?

I guesa carts are a small expense so markets dont care.

Hard to enforce shopping cart theft as the cart has to be reported stolen or the store workers would have to be present to say that particular cart was stolen.  Doesn't really matter since the homeless will be arrested and released.

Shopping carts are expensive at a few hundred dollars each.  Many stores do not want stolen shopping carts back because they're dirty and don't know if theres disease on them, and would trash them.  Workers chasing the carts in parking lots and in the neighborhoods also cost the stores a lot of money.

why? He is a dumbass. Shopping carts are expensive. He wastes all his energy to destroy rather than return it. Publicity stunt showcasing what Democrats do best - destroy things.

I don't recall the hammer guy. Googled it.

Ummm this sounds like you had your own task force.

Roger that.  Never need a coordinator and pay him, what 6 figures?  Tax money down the drain. 

As far as I'm concerned you pay him that much he gets the carts himself.

Yes he fits the definition of a demorat. They destroy and they are rats.
