Shrinkflation

 Shrinkflation is a non-issue. All you have to do is figure out the cost/unit. Then pick the package that makes the most sense for quality and quantity. Walmart has had smaller packages for years. For each item, you just have to figure out if it makes sense to buy it.

Fossil Fuel

 I'm all for all electric and renewable fuels. We have an electric heat pump for heat. But we also have a natural gas fireplace and hot water heater. And if the power goes out, we will have heat and hot water. Eventually, we will have gigantic solar panels in space, that will beam down electricity continuously, but until then we need some compromise on fuels as when it gets down below 20°F, senior citizens need some heat.
