“I got the spaghetti. I got orange juice. I like orange juice,” Nick from Queens said after making it through the store. “I also got some ground beef. They had grass-fed ground beef, they had lean ground beef and the regular ground beef so I’m glad I got that. I’m really glad I got the grass-fed.”

So, they hours in line to get $20-40 worth of food. It’s emblematic of life of choices that got a lot of these people where they are. I love this impoverished guy for whom it’s important that his hamburger be grass fed

I think that’s what’s referred to as a “first world problem”

I am in Florida and haven’t been able to afford store bought orange juice since 2010. It’s about 3 times more expensive than other juices.

Unfortunately disease spread by uninspected trade with China also wiped out my own citrus orchard and my neighbors’ too. All I have left of 37 trees is a scruffy looking limequat tree.
