Money can’t buy groceries when there’s other people who bought them first and spirited them away. One small concrete change I noticed is how the supermarket shelves for toilet rolls are ALWAYS empty, despite assurance and reassurances from the store and politicians, that panic buying is unnecessary.
Before Covid-19, this never happened. Never have I seen toilet paper being a scarcity in any supermarket.
