Centralization sold to populations on the concepts of CONVENIENCE, and COST EFFECTIVENESS is the method they use to instigate control. Large groups of people controlled by one... all for CONVENIENCE, and CHEAPNESS

It is everywhere.

We used to shop at
the bakery
the fish mong er rs
the butchers
the grocer
the clothing stores
the shoe shop
the stationers
the newsagents
the confectioners
the jewellers
the watch makers

Now, we just go to Walmart.

Centralized shopping... and if Walmart decides you have to be injected to shop - guess what...

If Walmart decides you have to be chipped to shop... guess what...

Now, this is supplanted by Amazon, a CENTRALIZED digital shopping which will inst8gate the same requirements - get chipped for access.

Yet folk do not see this.

I do not shop at Walmart for everything. like I used to years ago I refuse to go inside. If I cannot get it delivered in a pickup, then forget it. I refuse to go inside their filthy store and check myself out. I am not their employee. I try to shop elsewhere.

We stopped using them altogether - I think the last time I wrnt in was to return Christmas lights that did not work, that was 2020.

Now we have to wean ourselves off Amazon... 😖

I remember when I was a little kid, going into all the shops on the High Street... Mum would be stopping to chat to folk in the que, or folk she knew inbetween the stores, and waiting at the bus stop... there was a lot more face to face back then... of course, it was very boring for me 😁

😁 I miss the smaller shops, so I try to buy from them, but it is harder to get groceries nowadays

Yes the department stores took over, because folk wanted to be inside to shop, and write one check to pay for everything.

We just have to get used to things not being as convenient, if we are to keep our freedom of self.

I miss the High Street too... Mum tells me our old High Street is a ghost town now, boarded up... COVID was the death blow.

Yes, covid caused so many small restaurants to close where I live. And many of them became take out only, and you cannot eat there, so we only go to a few places now. But it is slowly getting better.

The millennials make it worse because they all order food to be delivered to their homes, and they pay for delivery plus a tip to uber eats or whoever delivers it.

If there was really a pandemic, then no one would want a stranger toughing their food, so I think it is all to force us to be lazy and pay more for food.
