    I’m all for boycotting companies, but when you live in a rural isolated food desert of a town, you kinda have to shop online so yeah…

      That is sadly been the case for a very long time. In the 1890s and 1900s there was a saying in America that if you lived in the countryside you didn’t have many books. You had the Bible… and the sears-roebuck catalog (yes they had groceries and grocery versions).

        Yes, this is very true. I’ve lived in the same town my entire life and in the last 40 years not a whole lot has changed. In the late 90s we got a McDonald’s and a subway and about five years ago we got a Carl’s Jr. fine dining.
