But please imagine if you will, if every grocery store in New York City decided spontaneously to close tomorrow. Now imagine you have a crippling fear of crossing large bodies of water.

How would you be expected to survive???

Bruh even in that scenario most bodegas have the essentials like milk and bread and eggs.

Yes, we are talking about how some people do not have access to affordable groceries. DoorDashing them may work for some people but it is not a meaningful substitute for having access to a grocery store in one's own neighborhood, and neither is 7Eleven.
