I think your intuition is probably right, but also Amazon happened. You can get a grinder delivered to your house in a day or two for like $10. Nobody who cares about fresh-ground coffee is going to hesitate to invest in a grinder when it costs less than a bag of beans.
Brain drain. It’s already started. Academics, scientists, and researchers are moving to Canada or Europe to do their work. As shit gets worse, the upper and middle classes will start to do the same. The underprivileged and undereducated will fight for the scraps of what’s left.

The photo shows a Shoppers Drug Mart store, which means OP is in Canada. I’m sure there’s a Canadian equivalent though.
The important thing is that Nestlé saves a cent or two on each box of Hot Pockets they produce.
Interesting info, thanks.
Any idea why I’m getting 2FA messages at the alias address? Are they trying to use the alias to log in to other sites?
I’m also receiving emails from Miro on the alias. I’m not sure what if any valuable information they could get from that site.
It’s a small company based in a Nordic country. I’m going to give them a chance to respond to my message before I name them.
I’d imagine that this is something that varies from family to family.
There’s a great opportunity for someone to sell replacement badges and logos for “converting” a Tesla into, say, a Mazda.
If they were capable of thinking critically, they wouldn’t be Republicans in the first place.
They’ve been doing as much as they can, such as stalling votes and filing lawsuits. They have literally no power, so there isn’t much they can do short of committing violence.
HOWEVER, one thing they could be doing is more attention-grabbing stunts. The octogenarians in party leadership don’t understand that attention is the most valuable commodity these days. If they formed a human shield to block people getting into the Senate chambers to further delay Trump’s nominees, they’d get heaps of attention and far fewer people would be asking what they’re doing to stop the fascist takeover. At least their objections would be visibly plastered all over TV and social media rather than confined to the vote tallies in the Senate.
Down the road, when (or if) Trump needs to have actual legislation passed, he’s going to have a major problem in the House. The House Republican caucus can’t agree on what to order for lunch, so they’ll likely need Democratic votes to get any legislation passed. This is the only area where Dems have a modicum of power.
I hope Canada and Mexico don’t blink in the face of this stupidity.
If the SC approves this illegal EO, there will be a 99% chance of Civil War.
I’d put that chance closer to 0%. The people who care enough about the rule of law have too much to lose, and those on the side of the fascists either have nothing to lose or are too infirm to fight.
America will die with a whimper, not a bang. Smart people will move to other countries, high-skill immigrants will stop immigrating, and the economy will eventually collapse.
As a Washingtonian, I’m so fucking sold.
This is a party full of ancient people. “A series of tubes” party.
Hey now, I’m not that old.
One thing I’ve realized about Amazon, at least lately, is that they don’t always have the lowest prices. For many items, I can go directly to the manufacturer’s site and get the same product for a lower or equal price with free shipping. If I have to wait a couple extra days, so be it. At least I’m not lining Bezos’ pockets.
I believe it was Marco Rubio specifically. He believes that toppling Venezuela will lead to a reverse domino effect that somehow magically ends up toppling the Communist regime in Cuba.
