I'm not sure what your reasoning is here.
Grocery prices aren't making it easy, so buy from restaurants that are even more expensive?

Only if you make arbitrary decisions. Like "I don't want to be a fish therefore tetrapods are not fish."

So what I am hearing you say is that bees are wasps.
And upon further examination, ants are wasps.

Almost looks like they are trying to imitate Jesus' posture in the shroud of Turin, but the shroud was drawn that way just to cover Jesus' penis, so that they would not have to have it displayed. When an actual dead body is forced into that position, it just shows how unnatural it is.

Measles silently wipes clean the immune system’s memory of past infections. In this way, the virus can cast a long and dangerous shadow for months, or even years, scientists are finding. The resulting “immune amnesia” leaves people vulnerable to other viruses and bacteria that cause pneumonia, ear infections and diarrhea.

Those aftereffects make measles “the furthest thing from benign,” says infectious disease epidemiologist and pathologist Michael Mina of Harvard University. “It really puts you at increased susceptibility for everything else.” And that has big consequences, recent studies show.

It’s not possible to ignore words that were never actually said

He said it. “No, I never have,” Biden said when asked by a reporter on Wednesday if those discussions were taking place. “I don’t have any plans on one term.”

Form Feb 2020:

A voter at a CNN town hall in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday night asked the former vice president, 77, if he would commit to serving only one term.
“No, I wouldn’t do that, but, I tell you what, you’re going to be able to make a judgment,” Biden said. “And, by the way, the two youngest people on the stage now are me and Buttigieg,” he joked, referring to 38-year-old former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the youngest candidate in the race.

From Aug 2020

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said in a new interview he would “absolutely” be open to the possibility of serving two full terms in the Oval Office if elected in November.
“I think it’s a legitimate question to ask anyone over 70 years old if they’re fit, they’re ready,” Biden, who would be the oldest president ever elected, told ABC’s David Muir in an interview airing Sunday evening. “But … watch me.”
Muir mentioned the 77-year-old’s own description of himself as a “transition candidate,” and asked if that meant Biden was committing himself to a single term.
“No, it doesn’t mean that,” Biden responded.
“So you’re leaving open the possibility you’ll serve eight years?” Muir asked.
“Absolutely,” Biden responded.

Especially when his campaign staffers "leaked’ him saying he would be a 1 term pres privately.

If you read what they say you would find that they are offering their opinions on what he would do, and not relaying anything that Biden said.

For some reason you want to interpret him being a bridge as him saying he would be a short bridge. Bridges can be long. I have no idea why you placed any significance on that statement anyway. Biden being a bridge candidate to younger candidates is like me being able to go under a limbo bar when it is set 10 ft high.
