If they are house-bound, organise with a local taxi driver to get to the shop and get some things for them.
If they are mostly-mobile, same thing, but organise a drop off and pickup time and get a hand with getting groceries into the house and up stairs, etc.
A lot of the older "career" drivers will happily do regular stuff like this. Especially during the middle of the day in suburbia when it's pretty quiet. Beats sitting at a taxi rank reading the paper.
Well, I did delete a company-mandated image from the bottom of my signature after I realised that it made even just a one-line "Thanks" email balloon out to 800kb.
I don't understand it. If I was a politician right now, I would not, under any circumstances, hitch my political wagon to the shitshow that is going on in the US. But Dutton and that "Trumpet of Patriots" crowd - bless their 1950's White Australia hearts - are all for it.
Labor would be wise to stall the election for a month or two, just to let things unfold a bit more over there.
It doesn't have to be "buy local", per se, it just has to be "buy non-US". But there are few tangible things I actually buy from the US. I don't mind stuff from the EU, it's a little pricey due to our exchange rate, but for the things I buy it's generally OK.
There are heaps of services that are bought from the US though - just about every streaming service, Google/Apple, Starlink, and so on. Those can fuck right off , if possible. Sometimes that's not practical (eg google/apple's ecosystem), but at least have a look for alternatives.
