Virus has gotten really bad now and destroyed the fabric of our society

I assure you, there is no app you can just download to scan people's credit cards by aiming it at them like you're in the movie Terminator. That would be a ludicrous security breach on the part of either Google or Apple and front page news. Any apps which promote any kind illegal activity (of the possible kind) are usually reported and taken down. Not just everyone knows how to load illegal software onto their smartphone from either. The people who do, are far and few between. To my knowledge, there's no such software which could pull your credit card info out of thin air with no WIFI activity breach or anything.
I recently decided to start using Apple pay myself, whenever I'm out. I'm not worried about it.

Covid robs me for about 4-500 euros of income each month, while that sucks i rather see the positive in it as i've got more free time on my hands and let it it be that hiking is (apart from gaming/collecting) my main hobby so i can finally put more time into that.

Those smart phone or cell phone apps. I talked about are not really that new, they were once experimental back in lets say 2013. One day I was in a remote section of mostly ruel city's edge, and I happened to notices a man aiming a mobile device at me at some party store, as soon as he aimed it at my pocket the device made a beep sound. I got paranoid and when I got home I called my bank and told them. They believed every single word I told them, and they quickly told me that I should get a new card. my next card had a gold chip on it, my old card didn't have a chip on it.
some of the things I know can get me killed or seriously hurt but after taking socialistic shit from a lot of people in my life I live for the law and peace of mind. My life was never easy.

Not in Canada!

Sorry for bumping an old thread but do you americans have canadian milk on your shelves? Here in Québec we only have milk from Québec, not even from the rest of canada. Except in 2018 Walmart started importing Fairlife american milk in canada (as well as Québec) and there were huge boycotts over here, it was a big deal. Nowadays Walmart still stocks Fairlife milk but in small quantities and literally not a single soul buys them to this day (I work at Walmart, I can confirm). What were they thinking? We literally have the best milk in the world, they really expected canadians to buy shitty american milk? It is so insulting to us, you have no idea. It's like if I go to France and start shoving cheap american wine in their face and do ad campaigns that try to replace their high quality French wine with shitty american ones.
Also, someone mentioned that there were milk shortages in the US during the pandemic. I am very surprised, because we never had any sort of milk shortage here, at least in Québec. That's what happens when you import everything.

At least in my area there was no shortage, but the price of milk was raised temporarily. Agriculture has been impacted heavily by the pandemic, so farmers, for instance, were forced to dump milk, especially during the initial stages, more so due to schools shutting down. For the most part things seem to be back to normal.
