No clue where you’re living but this sounds a lot like the reality of ordering online in rural Ohio these days. The best anti-capitalism propaganda out there is how bad the buying experience is these days. Especially if you are trying to specifically buy something slightly obscure or often copied? I find I have to try to buy something 3, 4 times before I get it right. At least it has ended shopping for fun in my life I guess.
that’s a relief, i kinda get that attitude though
i have some desire to show people the “nice” parts of places I grew up even though I grew up in the rustbelt by a prominent police-involved child murder site
