I find waiting for things physically exhausting. Waiting in lines, waiting sitting in a room, waiting on friends to decide what they want to eat, walking really slowly with an elderly relative: I find it all physically exhausting even though very little physical energy is required.
You’re asking how it’s more excusable to have an ample supply of food with slight waits for purchasing/preparation than not having enough food for everyone?
I am mocking the regime and their propaganda that has no logical consistency.
