So does food from the supermarket. That’s why we give poor people money. We should, IMHO, give them even more. Either way, with that money, they get on the bus.
Half of the world’s population walk miles for food and water. That’s certainly not a big ask on a bicycle. I commute six miles each way to work on a bike, every day. For millennia, humans roamed hundreds of miles on foot hunting for game. Yet you’re arguing someone today can’t cycle a few miles?? Lordy.
Delivery is often cheaper than the time and commute, so I’m not sure what you’re arguing there. Amazon offers free delivery, and you can buy every staple you need.
Wow. You’re actually asking poor Americans to live like they’re in third-world countries? I thought America was the richest nation?
That’s some spicy classism. Walking and cycling isn’t the domain of the unwashed masses. It’s a clean, healthy source of transport which more cities should encourage. Furthermore, should one choose to use the less healthy and polluting forms of transport, they can: the bus. Using the money they are given for not working at all. They don’t get that in developing nations.
And food delivery is not cheap. That’s just a lie.
I don’t expect them to walk miles for water. I expect them to take a bus for food. I don’t think you are reading what I’m writing.
And you have to pay for Prime for “free” delivery. Which poor people can’t afford.
No you don’t. Prime offers free fast shipping. There’s still free shipping on millions of products without Prime. It just won’t come the same/next day.

Amazon.com. Free delivery. Try it out.
Expecting people to walk for miles to get water is expecting them to live like a third-world country. And yes, you did say water.

You literally wrote:
So my apologies, you expect them to bike for miles for water. In the world’s richest country.
You think Prime is free?! Or did you forget people have to pay for that?
If you’re in favor of programs like helping people pay for food why are you so opposed to the city opening a grocery store?
