Why Don’t People Return Their Shopping Carts? A (Somewhat) Scientific Investigation - by Hannah B. Waldfogel - Behavioral Scientist

We are in the middle of an office move and I've been tasked with sorting through our department's cache of competing books. Trading a quiet Friday for the joy of mailing textbooks to editors who are genuinely excited to get them. It’s weirdly heartwarming—like a tiny Editorial Christmas! 🎁📚

What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

The concept of “gratitude” in American politics is an insidious one that implies a caste system where betters confer largess upon lessers and where those lessers must consistently pay homage to their betters.
And there is always an implied threat that without proper homage the largess will stop.
