Talking about two very different systems I'm familiar with, one in rural America one in a massive American city area. City busses were severely cut for lockdown, keeping drivers safer so ok. Now some lines are gone. Rural service recently cut because of a 'driver shortage' (offering the same starting rate as the local McDonalds). The bus comes half as often, with riders now crowded in to each bus; no more closed-off seats to keep people apart, not any more. I never read the shock doctrine, but I heard someone say 'disaster capitalism' once. Are the busses ever coming back or did we just get done?

    Huh. I'm familiar with the coin shortage, we had money shortages in Canada. Not sure about graham crackers, but I did hear about toilet paper.
