(38,187 posts)to spend $4 for a prescription and get groceries, then drive 48.6 miles back, especially on on hot spring and summer days when the temperature is 95+ degrees as early as 10:00 am. The milk will be safe. So will the eggs and raw chicken. A little food poisoning never hurt any rural natives and even if it does, who cares, right? They are just a bunch of red state losers who are wasting your oxygen to begin with anyhow, right?
If someone could afford to spend that much on gas money to begin with, AND drive that far from home for the same thing they could get in town from Wal Mart, they wouldn't need to buy prescriptions at $4 either. And, no, most people who live in rural areas cannot afford to rent a refrigerated truck, then drive almost 100 miles just to get groceries and pick up a prescription. And it doesn't make them lazy either. There is a thing called a budget that most people have to use. Driving 100 miles to pick up groceries would be considered extravagant. But, you just keep looking down your nose at them and patting yourself on the back for it if it makes you feel oh-so-superior.
