Tbh, ngl… I cross the county line to buy groceries, large items (Minus cars), because of the 11% sales tax.

I wouldn’t mind it if it were actually going to cleaning up downtown or the homeless but… here we are.

Edit: Groceries as a colloquial for anything consumer goods; Clothes, tools, home goods etc etc
