Leftists and politicians (same people?) think on-line shopping is fueled by the avoidance of the costs of Sales Taxes.
WRONG!! It is fueled by the avoidance of the high costs for gas to get to the increasingly decrepit malls. It is the avoidance of limited selection, no-nothing sales people, the costs of parking, wear and tear on the car, the time wasted driving to go shopping, surly and dangerous teen ferals who infest shopping areas as they destroy them.
On line, one shops in one’s own living room (or den), cup of coffee at hand, the TV showing whatever trash is on, comfortably warm in this Arctic blast, listening with one ear in case the baby wakes up, and knowing you will be home SAFE from the danger we read about almost every day.
The customer shops, clicks “ENTER” and in a couple of days of less, this nice delivery guy shows up with the purchases.
