Just popped back after the app was glitching to find this posted after all. Anyway, do check out African recipes. There's a bit of a learning curve because there's a lot of new spices but totally worth it!

Malicious compliance. The original order was probably intended to make the place look utterly inhospitable but so badly worded that things like pouring fresh mulch could arguably fall under it. Think parade "march" orders.

The issues haven't been entirely limited to states with extra restrictions. Unless the wording is specifically primary care provider, this is likely to generate a lot of extra business for places like CVS due to their ability to supply both vaccine and prescription.

Sloppy sloppy. All they would've needed to make this more believable was a layer of that concealer on whoever's unbruised skin that was. Not even to bother color correcting to ruddy because he never did, just to plop on and smear. This was literally a thirty second fix.

Price manipulation of select items. I wouldn't know where to look to confirm it, but the egg prices reek of the grocery stores going direct with other countries' producers and a tariff exemption. Free range (likely a US specific cert) hasn't budged.

I should clarify a bit further on the potato and carrot thing. Only orange carrots and white potatoes are cheap. There are white potatoes that are called reds and yellows because of the potato skin color. Those are a bit more money. The cheap ones are called russet.

Turtle Island large scale farming. Grains and a small list of produce are relatively reasonable with sales that are a large drop from regular. Only two of them are root vegetables. Potato and carrot. Meat is like this, too. Which meats depends on location. Other food is spendy with few or no sales.
