@lymanstoneky People forget that in Europe we ran an experiment between 1945 and 1989 to figure out what happened when you separated someone's ability to earn money from their ability to afford the cost of a family. The results are there for anyone to look at.

@jakebackpack France does supermarkets really well. Costco is special - but so is Carrefour. And the quality of the produce in even the worst French supermarket…my gosh
