Our grocery store go-to has discontinued having their blue truck delivery service. I understand that staffing is probably difficult. I get it that the corporation is in business to make a profit. Yet, I sort of want to shake my fist at them and call them greedy. What I read said that the blue delivery truck service would be discontinued but they would still work with third party businesses to continue delivering. The change should provide them with a $400 billion profit in 2026. That makes me sad. Oh, I will probably continue to use the third party delivery of my groceries because I truly like online ordering and delivery to my front door. I did love the blue truck service and it saved me money over the years. Even with the third party intervention, I may switch grocery companies, however. The other grocery company in our town is nearer to our house. It is located within our county and the other company is in the next county over. So, my tax dollars will stay here in our county, if I change that up as well. We shall see...
Another change that was made recently also makes me sad. The discontinuation of the penny. Oh, I get that it is expensive to produce the coins. But, the penny has been a monetary institution all of my life. Sadness abounds.
Then, this morning I read where the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has voted to shut down. I was frustrated with the funding cut. I wrote to my legislators and emailed them as well. Yet, the funding was still cut despite lots of people's best efforts. So, the shut down has come. Sadness abounds.
Right now I sort of feel like our whole world is in a bit of upheaval. Maybe that is just the old woman in me surfacing. I know hat change is inevitable and usually serves a purpose for bettering things. I'm not sure these changes are good for the majority of people, however.
