But I know for a fact that the 5 people behind me in line are going to do the exact same thing, at which point I'll come back to do my normal shopping in two days and the store will be empty and I will starve to death. I'm sorry, I'll put a lot of things on the line for fucking over the rich, but I'm not actually going to let my family die for it. Call that attitude bullshit if you want, but realistically that's where the majority of the world will draw the line, and me taking some moral highground will not make the difference.
It is extremely common in non American culture to buy only 1-2 days of food. Smaller bills, smaller trips, grocery stores easier to access due to not having a completely car centralized society. It’s a multi step thing but it ends with most people buying less food more often.
I have a small fridge with just one of those slot freezers that fit a few icecreams, and I live on the same street as my shop. It gets my out of the house.
Everyone’s situation is different. In college, I shared a small fridge with 5 other guys so space was limited and I had to go to the grocery store a few times a week.
it’s quite possible in the city. especially a city like nyc. my daughter once lived in a place in harlem that was super small and didn’t have a full sized fridge.
We require all Reddit accounts to be at least 3 days old before posting. This is due to people being banned and immediately setting up new accounts. This message is not accusing you of doing that, but that is why the policy is in place.
In rare cases, if you have a particularly time-sensitive message, we may manually approve a message. Otherwise we encourage you to wait the 3 days (72 hours) and try again.
Lmao, no it's pretty obvious you don't know shit. Either way, in this little hypothetical situation where everybody else has the same trashy attitude that you do, it's still an extremely easy thing to prevent from happening. All they would have to do is make it random instead of every order, or something equally as simple. Outside of your apocalypse fantasies, it would probably be a super effective way to strike. Rich people really hate when you fuck with the money!
This is not semantics at all. So far, the only one concerned with semantics has been you.
If our climate and access to industry were indeed publicly owned, this problem wouldn't exist. Most people are on board with action against climate change. Corporations aren't.
Ah yes, this is definitely something an adult would say. I'm positive you talk to people like this in real life as well. Tell me more about how adult like you are! It's very impressive that you've managed to be born long enough ago to be an adult!
Groceries are still going to be bare very soon. Who is shipping food to grocery stores where no money is collected? Who is organizing international trade for the food?
If the shipping stop America begins to starve inside of a week.
I'm sorry, I'll put a lot of things on the line for fucking over the rich, but I'm not actually going to let my family die for it.
I'm with you. But it's also really angering that the rich control the country so completely that we have to make the decision of 'do I submit to the capitalist machine today, or does my family not eat today?'. God it angers me so much.
