C’mon Woj. You know full well that the choice given in the grand

There are a lot of things wrong with the U.S., but a lack of choice
among consumer goods wouldn’t rank very high on my list. I lost count
at 30,000 items in a typical supermarket. For anyone above the Wal-
Mart level of income - and they really do skew towards the rural
bottom - there’s an enormous choice of products and level of service.
There’s plenty that’s lacking, like health insurance and meaning, but
not consumer goods. I can’t imagine what you’re talking about.
