where I live there's been some supply chain challenges but so many peeps lost their jobs or are experiencing dramatic reductions in income due to rona no one can afford to hoard anything. if anything people are buying far less than pre-virus, and buying local more often
hence there's no practical difference in access to anything. yes import costs have risen but that's due to the global situation. what impacts the world impacts us
the economics of human psychology...
