It’s been unnecessary for a long time. It’s to make sure we know we are being watched. It’s 1984. That’s my conspiracy that hasn’t been proven wrong, yet. After covid. We got too many better jobs. More free time. The tech bros saw this and with the current billionaire administration, said “absolutely fucking not.” So ice, police state, constant visible surveillance. It’s 1984 but they need us to comply.

We used to go weekly for groceries and spent hundreds per month, but have been consciously changing our buying habits for a couple of years. We’ve now got it down to once every 6 weeks or so for things we can’t easily find elsewhere. At today’s prices we’d probably be spending $450 per month, instead we’re spending about $15, if that.

We fucking love not going to Walmart.
