Our founding fathers envisioned the electoral college as the counterbalance against someone dangerous taking power. The guardrails were always there, they just never really worked as intended.
Lots of small and even midsize sellers are basically forced into use Amazon, because if they don't, then they don't exist. So in some cases you literally cannot order the thing anywhere else.
That's sad. I don't mind cooking, but after a typical work day, I often don't have enough mental energy leftover to cook for myself either though. If I didn't have a wife who loved me, I'd probably end up a lot like your friend. We try to save eating out for special occasions or when we're both pooped and there's no leftovers at least. But I can totally understand how that can happen to a person.
I'm in this boat too. Being at the office feels so fucking pointless. One other guy on my team in my city, but I haven't seen him in months since when I'm there he's not and vice versa. It's so silly.
