What's the total human cost of the total killing of black people by the police with impunity? Grocery delivery will likely come back very soon, I'd imagine. And this sort of concern strikes me as pearl clutching. Not that property damage isn't bad, but this sort of thing is just kinda silly. I mean peaceful protests cause issues as well - bus strikes can lead to closing bus routes that vulnerable people need for example.
