The 4th amendment is largely suspended at international border crossings. It's a travesty. This has been steadily built in supreme court rulings since 1925, but a 1977 ruling says the searches are inherently reasonable because they occur at the border. No probable cause or warrant is required.

If you really want to be depressed, Google "4th amendment free zones" which essentially means this doctrine applies within 100 air miles of an international border crossing.

He may not have disregarded anything. He is aware of your perception of his advice. If he feels like he is declining, but still wants to be there for you, this could very well be desperation to stay involved and still try and help. Unfortunately we all decline as we age, some worse than others. Make him feel appreciated even if you don't get a tangible benefit from his advice any longer. Stay engaged with him, let him feel valuable. Older generations tend to decline even quicker if they no longer feel valuable and instead feel like a burden.

I came here to say there was probably a context clue or three, namely the price.

I don't know this fella, but he is either so out of touch with how much things cost that he doesn't pay even the slightest attention, or (gasp) he is making up a story for the Internet.

Type W3 states are located along the West Coast, including California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. This type of warming is characterized by a greater increase in higher temperatures than in lower temperatures, resulting in a positive trend in the iqr. This pattern corresponds to the West and parts of the Northwest climate zones.

In contrast, Type W2, characterized by a larger increase in lower quantiles relative to higher quantiles and a negative trend in the iqr, is primarily found in the Central North region, roughly corresponding to the Northern Rockies and Plains West NW Central area. This includes states such as Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and North and South Dakota.

Finally, states in the Type W1 category, located in the Upper Midwest (East North Central), parts of the Northwest, and the Northeast, exhibit similar trends across all quantiles, with no statistically significant trend observed in the iqr.

It is sad, but it's also a societal failure. No one should ever have to choose between eating and medicine from week to week.
