I don't see any reason to think there's a deeper meaning. There's a lot of overlap between aggressive truck or muscle car drivers and people who like plastering the flag everywhere. Some of them have enough sense to go somewhat subtle with a monochrome version.
My smoking habits have changed a lot as I get older. When I was in college, sure smoke all day. These days maybe before bed or once im done with all my shit for the day. Otherwise it makes me unable to do anything productive.
Even aside from all the factual inaccuracies and nonsense about "sex changes for minors", it's important to notice this measure actually had nothing to do with gender affirming care or trans rights.
Right wing media has gotten to a point where they just fear monger and draw thin connections to drag queens or some other bullshit to get their base to vote how they want.
I guess I was thinking snacks first and foremost but cheap carbs aren't necessarily unhealthy. Protein sources are probably the most expensive and mixing in veggies is pricey on a calories/$ basis.
But rice, beans/legumes, and a lot of other basic staple foods are pretty cheap. Eggs are back under a dollar by me at least.
Not having the time/means to shop and prepare food makes sense, or if you're in a food desert and don't have much available conveniently.
I hate when people bring up the poverty angle, unless it's more about people having to work more hours/multiple jobs and not having time to cook. Healthy whole foods are generally way cheaper than fast food or even junk food from the grocery store, at least in my experience
I don't think scared is the right word but everything about driving in a city sucks. Struggling to find parking or having to pay, taking 30 min to drive 4 miles, shitty beat up roads
