I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I’d take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.

Turns out, it’s just a meal planner. And it’s absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who’d the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That’s like paying for a calendar app.

      As somebody who grew up with perfect tap water and then moved to Detroit, I used to think this.

      Edit: I guess I should say I still think this for a lot of places. When I go to my parents house the first thing I do is drink a big cup of their amazing tap water.

        Where I am the cost of water is rolled into the local authority tax. It’s not metered, so it feels free. It’s pretty good water too.

        Tap water is so cheap it might as well be free, and it’s probably included in the rent in a lot of places.

        I guess it’s not free in places that need to have a revolution first?

          My water is inexpensive: 1 Cubometer of water about USD 0.29 and USD 0.13 to deliver it to the apartment (pipe system, water infrastructure).

          Slightly more expensive in places with local water scarcity, like the American southwest. But yeah, we still need a revolution
