Also not everyone has a home in which to receive deliveries and grocery stores do in fact serve people without homes. And grocery store delis all have fresh meals with veggies that can be bought with SNAP. Also you can go to them on work lunches and they're cheaper than fast food.
And why should someone have to bear the cost of food delivery? Or be restricted to Walmart? And how did this become specifically about Atlanta? So many goal posts.

Anyway delivery is not an adequate replacement for a physical store in accessible proximity of where one lives.
Walmart+ costs $13/mo and gives free delivery on orders over $35.

You can get fresh produce in any 'food desert' near-ish to a Walmart, which includes all of Atlanta.

I mention because yes sociologist of education. But I also mention because my entire personal code of ethics about educational attainment is core to my moral belief system.

I attended my grandmothers GED diploma ceremony. I would not mock that, not even for a destructive political troll.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
