(How did I get to an age where I look at Elizabeth's dresses and think: I'd wear that?
(Also, weird fact: HRH's dresses had curtain weights sewn in the hems, so a sudden gust of wind would not reveal HRUndies. There's an extra 2-ish lbs of weight in that dress, little extra workout in every step.)

Exactly.
And rural and poor-neighborhood grocery stores will close without SNAP money. Larger grocery stores will likely stock less variety. Chain grocery stores will close their lower-earning locations, creating wider food deserts.

I've done that with random paper ephemera I've found - odd photos or vintage ticket stubs I don't want to keep, but too cool to put in the recycling.
