I knew two straight edge kids in highschool. They both died of overdoses shortly after highschool.

Amazon is far more efficient. The store has to move the thing there, put it on a shelf. Keep the lights on. Keep the store clean and staffed.
Amazon uses algorithms to distribute a few of those items to some mega wearhouse near you. It gets picked up by someone also picking up a dozen other things. And the cost of delivery is not the whole distance, your cost is just the last delivery location to yours, and those routes are plotted algorithmically to be as effecient as possible.
You driving to the store burning that much gas and wearing your tires the whole round trip, just for the one thing makes it further inefficient.
Stores literally only make sense if you want to try the thing out, for fresh local food, or for a bulk trip like Costco, where its more of a wearhouse than a store, and you pack you car so full you're basically acting as the Amazon delivery driver. That's why stores like CVS and Walgreens are closing all over, it simply makes no economic sense anymore.
Same with all of Europe and Asia. "You can only eat food from the original neolithic people". See how stupid you sound.
I'm not sure that's the rules, in that case you can get anything from America.
There's also some Morocco, Spain and Portugal in there.
I mostly agree, on American Southern and Mexican alone.
D is tempting though, I love all Asian food. The variety from Middle Eastern, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I might have just convinced myself to go D while I was writing this actually...
An inflation event is a great time to have debt. The best time to have debt. The money is worth more when you get it, and the debt you owe shrinks in value.
It's not the government, it's the rich.
You realize nobody is making you play the game?
If it's not challenging, why are you complaining?
Do you know what midterms are?
Because if you can't make it through the denizens, you can't make it through the boss. It's a filter.
Was my problem, now it's your problem. It's called hot potato.
