Also, Americans are used to paying subsidized, artificially low prices for agricultural products. I don't think many of us realize the actual cost of food production.

Comparing the price of milk and Canada versus the US isn't a 1:1 comparison. Canadians pay much less in taxes to support their dairy industry than Americans due to supply management in Canada (i.e. not producing more milk than needed, paying for that production through subsidies, and then wasting it). So, in-store higher dairy costs in Canada are closer to true production cost than in the states.

There are a lot of other factors here too, one being that during the 70-80s American agricultural legislation focused much more on large scale farm operations than Canada and as a result it is much harder for small farmers to get by in the US.

Regardless, even with all other factors being equal dairy costs would still be slightly higher in Canada since due to generally higher taxes and higher farm wages.

How does putting your card in the reader / tapping at the table change that? You still have to sign + tip at the table in front of everyone.

Well for starters its a not a rock, its a mineral.

The idea of productizing tech addiction recovery funded by the VCs which fund tech addiction enabling products seems slightly disingenuous.

This is practically a non issue. Not only would it be unrealistic to use wind power for 100% of US power generation nor would it be a good decision since a huge benefit of renewable energy is that we can diversify among so many different source.

Ugh, its that bad on iOS. I never wish for people to have to go through the process of changing their App Store country. It's a painful, buggy process with a horrible UX.
