And what does a grocer do? Abandon the bad neighborhoods to
starvation or attempt to provide the service, adding margin
to account for that shrinkage and reward oneself for taking
the financial risk. I am glad I never had to make that kind

There are various kinds of prudent. If some guy is going to
sacrifice his cognition and longevity to the future of his
family, that might be understandable to some degree.
